About the Role

Nu is building a new generation of crypto experiences that make sophisticated financial capabilities feel simple and trustworthy. As a Lead Software Engineer on our Palo Alto crypto team, you will build the customer-facing mobile and full-stack experiences that bring Nubank's global crypto offering to life - from the first interaction through the services that power it.

Your scope will be a meaningful product area, not a single screen or an isolated service. You will lead team-level technical design, own delivery across mobile and backend boundaries, and make the tradeoffs required to create intuitive experiences without weakening security, correctness, performance, or reliability.

You will work closely with product, design, backend and platform engineering, security, and compliance partners. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role with responsibility for mentoring engineers, improving team practices, and remaining accountable for production health after launch.

You'll be responsible for

• Lead the design, implementation, launch, and operation of customer-facing mobile and full-stack crypto experiences.
• Own complete product flows across mobile interfaces, APIs, service integrations, data and state management, release readiness, and post-launch health.
• Translate complex concepts such as wallets, asset movement, and onchain transactions into clear, understandable customer experiences.
• Make independent team-level architecture decisions and communicate tradeoffs across usability, security, performance, reliability, and delivery speed.
• Build resilient transactional experiences with deliberate validation, error handling, recovery paths, testing, and observability.
