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.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

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.
