About Nubank Berlin
Nubank Berlin is a satellite engineering office dedicated to serving the horizontal engineering needs of Nubank in Brazil - the leading fintech in Latin America. In Brazil, since 2014 we have been actively servicing millions of clients with our mobile-controlled credit card product. With head office São Paulo and an engineering office in Berlin, Nubank has raised USD 330 million in investment rounds led by Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, Tiger Global, Kaszek Ventures, Goldman Sachs, QED Investors and DST Global.
Our cosy office in Berlin Mitte is centered around backend and data-infrastructure focused work. Shipping valuable features requires dealing with distributed applications, infrastructure, user facing API and production microservices. Our engineers commonly rotate focus between these responsibilities. We consistently work with and explore new technologies, and thus value professionals who are open to learning new things, regardless of preexisting comfort zones.
