Engineering Manager reporting to the firm's VP Engineering. Owns the firm's LATAM engineering bench end-to-end.
Direct line management of ten engineers across two squads — the regional card-issuing integration and the partner-banking onboarding workflow. Hiring three further engineers in the first nine months.
Works closely with the firm's regional commercial lead on the LATAM partner-banking pipeline and with the platform engineering team in APAC on the firm's shared infrastructure.
Brazil-based, remote-first within LATAM. Travel to the firm's APAC engineering hub each quarter.
The role runs the LATAM engineering function against a regional payments roadmap, with hiring authority over the LATAM team rather than a dotted line into a global engineering org. The remit covers both the crypto-funded card product in-region and the agentic-finance layer being built alongside it, with engineering decisions taken locally rather than escalated. The two product surfaces have different shapes — the card product is in production at scale, the agent layer is being built — and the EM owns both inside the region.
