Team: Conversion

At PPRO, we simplify access to local payments - providing a local payments platform that empowers giants like PayPal, Stripe, and Microsoft to connect with billions of consumers worldwide. We are on an ambitious, fast-paced mission to 3x our growth by 2028 - and we’re just getting started.

Our magic lies in our team of proud payments nerds. Spanning over 50 nationalities across 10+ global locations, our diverse cultures aren't a checklist; they are the competitive advantage driving our innovation. This is a people-first, high trust environment where you’ll have the autonomy to make a massive impact, own your work end-to-end, and grow through broad exposure, meaningful challenges, and continuous learning. We get things done, challenge respectfully, put the customer first, and recognise that our biggest successes are those we create as a team. If you’re ready to leave your footprint on global commerce, join us.
 
The Purpose:

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Card Payments Platform, you will deliver worldwide, scalable and resilient solutions to support card transactions across the globe. Your mission is to ensure the architectural integrity of our core card processing infrastructure, guaranteeing its extensibility and reliability for future growth. This role is critical to the overall PPRO strategy by enabling seamless expansion into new markets and maintaining our competitive edge in global payment solutions.

Your Impact in this Role

  • Scale Core Banking: Build ultra-high-volume, low-latency transaction engines within our Cards Platform, focusing on high availability and chaos engineering.

  • Global Alignment: Collaborate with global Staff Engineers and Product Managers to align regional LatAm business needs with global technical roadmaps

  • Tech Leadership: Mentor the São Paulo engineering hub, document architectural decisions, and champion a strong dev culture.

  • System Resilience: Architect distributed, fault-tolerant ledger systems capable of handling millions of peak daily transactions.

Some of the technologies you’ll get to work with

  • Backend Core: Java 17+, Spring Boot, Microservices Architecture.

  • Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS (Multi-region deployment, EKS, DynamoDB, S3, SQS, SNS).

  • Data & Streaming: Event-Driven Architecture (Kafka), advanced database patterns (CQRS, Event Sourcing).

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform, Terragrunt.

  • Observability: Datadog, OpenTelemetry, real-time alerting.

  • CI/CD: Github Actions and ArgoCD

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • Proven Java Expertise: Deep professional experience designing, building, and maintaining complex, enterprise-grade distributed backend systems using modern Java and the Spring Boot ecosystem.

  • High-Volume Cloud Environments: Hands-on experience operating microservices at scale inside major cloud providers (ideally AWS), with a focus on high availability, multi-region setups, and database optimization.

  • Containerization & IaC: Mastery of container orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS) and a " GitOps" mindset, utilizing Terraform/Terragrunt to treat infrastructure as software.

  • Technical Leadership: A history of mentoring mid-level and senior peers, leading high-stakes technical discovery phases, and successfully driving consensus on complex system designs across global engineering organizations.

  • Communication: Fluency in English, as you will interact with global engineering squads, combined with active participation in the local tech community.

Nice-to-Haves (The Extra Edge)

  • FinTech & Payments Domain: Direct experience with card issuing, acquiring, ledger engines, real-time payment rails (such as Pix), or banking compliance structures (BACEN regulations).

  • Advanced SRE Practices: Deep familiarity with leveraging Datadog or similar suites for proactive bottleneck identification, performance tuning, and optimizing cloud spend.

  • Event-Sourcing Patterns: Deep understanding of data consistency models, distributed locks, and managing high-throughput message streaming with Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ.
