R2
Embedded lending infrastructure
Senior Software Engineer (ONLY LATAM BASED)
About the role
Who we are
At R2, we believe that small and medium businesses are the productive engine of society. Small and medium businesses (SMBs) make up over 90% of companies in Latin America, yet they face a trillion-dollar credit gap. Our mission is to unlock SMBs’ potential by providing financial solutions that are tailored to their needs. We are reimagining the financial infrastructure of Latin America - where SMBs financial needs are satisfied without ever having to go to a bank.
R2 enables platforms in Latin America to embed financial services that SMBs can then leverage (starting with revenue-based financing). We are a tight knit team coming from organizations such as Amazon, Google, Nubank, Uber, McKinsey & Co., Mercado Libre, Globant, and J.P. Morgan. We are backed by world-class investors such as Gradient Ventures (Google’s AI-focused fund), General Catalyst, Y Combinator, Femsa Ventures, PayU, among others.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can design highly scalable systems and services, integrate our systems into various third-party platforms, promote a culture of technical learning, and push teammates to grow into excellent engineers.
What you’ll work on
- Design, build, and maintain APIs, services, and systems across R2
- Own the product and solution architecture
- Ensure best practices and uptime
- Contribute to company-wide standards and reliability
- Ensure delivery of mission-critical systems with tight deadlines
- Increase the quality of the delivered code, towards a zero-bug policy
- Research and invest in new tooling to improve services
- Think about security throughout everything you do
- Promote a culture that fosters learning, growth, risk taking, and accountability
- Work with other teams to figure out how to build tools to make them more productive
Who you are
- 5+ years of engineering experience building API-driven services, with an appetite to code on a daily basis.
- Experience with distributed architecture patterns, in particular microservices.
- Experience programming in Go, Java, or Rust.
- Experience in designing and implementing robust data models for production using relational databases (PostgreSQL, etc.) and/or NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB, etc).
- Experience in containers (Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes).
- Experience in CI/CD pipelines (Gitlab CI, Spinnaker, Jenkins, GoCD, Concourse, etc.)
Bonus points
- Experience designing and implementing Event-Driven architectures.
- Working experience with gRPC, Service Meshes (Istio, Linkerd, etc), API Gateways.
- Familiar with UI technologies such as React, GraphQL, Server-side rendering, etc.
- Experience building integrations with 3rd-party APIs/services is a big plus.
