Senior Software Engineer

Sr Software Engineer

RecargaPay · Brazil (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-10-15

Workplace: remote

Department: Engineering

Description

About the Role
RecargaPay is building the financial super-app for Latin America, and Lending is one of our fastest-growing verticals. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Lending squad, you'll own the backend systems that power our credit products — from risk decisioning to the loan lifecycle experience inside the app. This is a high-ownership role. You'll work on systems where correctness, resilience, and security are non-negotiable, and where the quality of your thinking has a direct impact on financial outcomes for millions of customers.

Requirements

• Design and build backend services that support the full credit journey — origination, analysis, disbursement, and repayment — with a focus on customer experience.
• Contribute to risk-aware system design: model edge cases, reason about failure modes, and build controls that protect customers and the business.
• Write production-grade Java/Spring services on AWS, with a strong emphasis on observability, fault tolerance, and security. Participate actively in technical decisions — architecture reviews, RFCs, incident retrospectives — and influence how the team solves hard problems.
• Collaborate closely with product, data, and risk teams to translate complex business requirements into reliable, maintainable software.
• Mentor peers through code reviews and technical discussions, raising the bar without gatekeeping.

What We're Looking For

• Strong backend engineering fundamentals with hands-on experience in Java and Spring (Boot, MVC, Security, Data).

• Solid AWS experience — you've designed and operated distributed services in the cloud, not just deployed to it. A structured approach to problem analysis: you don't just solve the ticket — you understand the system, the tradeoff, and the downstream risk.

• Comfort operating autonomously: you drive tasks to completion, surface blockers early, and don't need someone to define the next step for you.
• Clear, direct communication — you can explain a technical position to an engineer, a product manager, or a risk analyst without losing the substance.
• Experience building systems where reliability and security are first-class concerns (financial services, payments, or regulated domains is a plus).

Nice to Have

• Experience in credit, lending, or financial products. Familiarity with event-driven architectures (Kafka or similar).
• Knowledge of fraud prevention, risk scoring, or compliance patterns.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code.

Benefits

• Competitive and market-aligned salary.
• Remote work — wherever you are, you’re part of the team!
• Home office allowance through a monthly deposit in the RecargaPay app.
• Health and dental plans with no co-pay.
• Life insurance.
• Flexible meal allowance (via Flash).
• TotalPass membership to take care of your health.
