Embedded lending infrastructure
IT Support Specialist,
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, Hi Ventures, COMETA, Y Combinator, Endeavor Catalyst, Femsa Ventures, PayU, among others.
As a IT Support Specialist, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the operational efficiency of our IT systems while learning and contributing to our DevOps processes. We’re looking for someone proactive, eager to learn, and passionate about technology.
