About Nubank’s Mobile Platform and App Core

The Mobile Platform’s mission aligns with Nubank’s commitment to delivering the best experience for our customers by ensuring a high-performing, stable, and seamless app.

Within Mobile Platform, App Core focuses on providing user-friendly, scalable, high-performing, and cost-efficient app infrastructure components and mobile tools that enable Nubank engineers to quickly and safely test, deploy, monitor, analyze, and improve app flows and features.

The Opportunity

This role will involve working across a variety of technologies, including Native, Flutter, and related frameworks. We are looking for a Mobile Engineer with solid experience to join the App Core team — a cross-impact engineering team responsible for building and maintaining the core infrastructure of the mobile application, optimizing our performance, and enabling product teams to deliver high-quality mobile experiences.

What We’re Looking For

Must Have:

• Proven experience in senior-level technical mobile development.
• Strong technical background with Flutter and/or native mobile development (Android/iOS).
• Solid understanding of mobile software engineering principles, architectural patterns, and modularization strategies.
• Experience with performance optimization, dependency injection, and migration of core systems.
• Knowledge of mobile observability, monitoring, and debugging tools.
• Strong communication skills in English, with the ability to explain complex concepts to diverse audiences.
• Track record of delivering results in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with backend technologies, especially those integrated with mobile applications.
• Familiarity with distributed systems and large-scale app architecture.
• Contributions to internal SDKs, libraries, or mobile design systems.
• Understanding of user authentication, session management, and app state handling.

Why Join Us

• Impact at Scale: Help shape the mobile experience for millions of customers across multiple countries, with the goal of reaching billions.
• Technical Leadership: Influence the architecture and foundational technologies that all Nubank engineers rely on.
• Innovation-Driven Culture: Work in a dynamic, collaborative environment that values experimentation, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence.
