securely available to customers around the world
and
enables our expansion into new countries and partners .
In this role, you will have
end‐to‐end ownership
across architecture, delivery and operations for regulatory connectivity, product connectivity and third‐party integrations, supporting both on‐premises and cloud environments in a highly available and regulated context. You will help shape our connectivity roadmap, lead critical initiatives, and support the growth of other engineers while remaining hands‐on in production.
You will also play a key role in our
multi‐year journey
to evolve from traditionally managed networking toward an
automation‐, observability‐ and governance‐first connectivity stack , including responsible use of AI to improve reliability and operations.
What You Will Do You will:
Design and implement
scalable, resilient network solutions aligned with business and regulatory requirements.
Own High‐Level and Low‐Level Designs (HLD/LLD)
for connectivity initiatives across data centers, WAN, cloud edge and partners.
Build and evolve
data center and WAN connectivity platforms (including VXLAN/EVPN fabrics), ensuring reliability, performance and observability at scale.
Support production environments with
incident troubleshooting, change execution and root cause analysis , including participation in a
weekly on‐call rotation .
Manage and improve
network observability and monitoring , analyze performance and implement optimizations for speed, reliability and efficiency.




Conduct
network risk assessments and audits , helping ensure compliance with Nubank's security policies and regulatory requirements.
Drive
automation and observability initiatives , helping us move from manual processes to automation‐ and observability‐driven operations over time.
Collaborate with
Cloud, Security, Infrastructure and Product teams , vendors and partners, improving documentation, standards and operational practices, and
mentoring less senior engineers .
What We Are Looking For Must‐have
5+ years of hands‐on experience
as a Network Engineer (or similar role) designing and operating production networks at scale.
Networking fundamentals (hands‐on experience):
Layer 2:
VLANs, STP, LACP, port security.
Layer 3:
Strong experience with BGP (iBGP/eBGP) and OSPF; exposure to
VXLAN ; IPv6 experience in production is a strong plus.
High availability:
Design and operation of redundant topologies using protocols such as HSRP/VRRP and fast convergence techniques.
Network security and services:
ACLs, route‐maps, prefix‐lists, NAT, VPN (IPSec-based, such as DMVPN or similar), GRE.
Solid experience operating
Next‐Gen Firewalls , ideally
Palo Alto and/or Fortinet
(policy design, HA, troubleshooting).
Infrastructure and connectivity:
Experience with
WAN technologies
such as MPLS, L3VPN, L2VPN, SD‐WAN or Carrier Ethernet (strong depth in several of them).
Understanding of
data center architectures , preferably spine‐leaf, and their operational implications.
Knowledge of
VXLAN/EVPN fabrics
for data center architectures.
Strong knowledge of core network services and protocols:
DNS, DHCP, NTP, SNMP, AAA, TCP/IP .
Experience with
QoS mechanisms
(classification/marking, queuing, shaping) to manage performance and prioritize critical traffic in WAN and data center environments.
Platforms, tooling and operations:
Hands‐on experience with
enterprise load balancers
(e.g., F5 BIG‐IP LTM/GTM or equivalent).
Experience in
multi‐vendor environments
(e.g., Juniper, Cisco, etc.).
Familiarity with
monitoring/observability tools
(e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ThousandEyes or similar).
Strong
production operations experience : troubleshooting and incident handling, change and problem management, and




packet‐level analysis
(e.g., tcpdump, Wireshark) to diagnose complex network and application‐layer issues.
Ways of working:
Experience working in an
Agile environment
(e.g., Scrum or Kanban), collaborating with cross‐functional teams and stakeholders.
Nice‐to‐have
Experience with
network automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
using tools such as
Terraform, Ansible and Python
for automated network provisioning and configuration.
Cloud networking
experience (AWS or similar), including VPC design, hybrid connectivity and security controls.
Experience with
Kubernetes or modern platform environments , especially in how they interact with underlying network and security layers.
Exposure to
financial systems and networks
(e.g., SPEI, DIMO or similar payment/clearing systems).
Certifications such as
CCNP, JNCIP, AWS
or equivalent (valued but not mandatory).
Experience with security tools (IDS/IPS, SIEM) and integrating network telemetry into security monitoring.
Exposure to
AI/ML applications in networking
(e.g., anomaly detection, traffic analysis, predictive capacity planning), and interest in helping identify realistic, high‐impact use cases for these capabilities in our environment.
How You Operate You will fit well if you:
Have a strong
sense of ownership and accountability
over systems, platforms and outcomes.
Are comfortable
navigating ambiguity , connecting the dots and driving solutions end‐to‐end.
