Engineering at Nubank

We strive for state-of-the-art software development practices that currently include a variety of technologies, such as Kafka, Flink, Java, Spark, Scala além AWS infra, Clojure, and Datomic.

You'll work alongside talented engineers to design and implement solutions that provide the core data storage and data lifecycle management capabilities of the Nubank data environment, empowering Nubankers to create, update, and generally manage data.  You'll also contribute to making it as seamless as possible for data products to obtain data from external producers, ensuring a reliable and scalable data flow for all Nubankers.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
