Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Staff TPM - Core Infrastructure & Platform Evolution - **Company:** Nubank Era, LLC - **Location:** United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Architectural Patterns, Cloud Computing, Computer Networks, Databases, Information Engineering, Distributed Data Store, Machine Learning, Reliability Engineering, Azure Machine Learning, Computer Network Technologies, Backend, Machine Learning Operations, Microservices - **Published:** August 7, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=f584f078841d7b3d ## About the Role * The "Engineer-First" Background: A proven foundational background as an Infrastructure, Site Reliability (SRE), or Core Backend Engineer earlier in your career before moving into technical program leadership. Please note: This is not a project coordinator role. We require deep technical expertise in these areas to effectively guide the engineering organization. * Hands-on Technical Leadership: A strong track record of driving initiatives not just through tracking, but through active technical contribution. You possess the hands-on technical leadership and ability to unblock teams using your own technical expertise when complex engineering bottlenecks arise. * Ownership & Entrepreneurial Mindset: A distinct ownership mentality with an entrepreneurial, "raise the bar" attitude. You don't just manage a roadmap; you treat the infrastructure as your own product, constantly pushing for higher standards of engineering excellence, efficiency, and scale. * High-Scale Infrastructure Depth: Extensive experience managing massive cloud-native systems, focusing heavily on core networking, distributed databases, and high-utilization environments. * AI Transformation Experience: A highly valued track record of leading or heavily contributing to AI/ML transformation initiatives at scale. * Architectural Mastery: Proven ability to navigate complex architectural patterns (monoliths, microservices, nano-services) and successfully execute horizontal multi-year infrastructure roadmaps. * Execution Mindset: Strong business acumen, executive communication skills, and a natural ability to step in and aggressively unblock engineering teams in an agile, fast-moving environment. ## Description We are looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) at the Senior Staff level to serve as a horizontal technology leader across our Core Infrastructure and Platform teams. At Nubank, a TPM is an Outcome Owner-an engineer at heart with the programmatic capability to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives from inception to production. You are fully accountable for the efficiency, scaling, and modernization of our foundational platforms. Your mission is to lead horizontal infrastructure transformations at a massive scale. You will optimize database and network utilization, steer regionalization strategies, and guide our architectural evolution-whether that means refactoring monoliths into microservices or right-sizing macro-services. Crucially, you will be at the forefront of integrating AI into our core foundational platforms and ML infrastructure to maximize engineering leverage. Core Responsibilities * Own Infrastructure Evolution: Lead programmatic execution for large-scale architectural shifts, including microservices refactoring, service optimization, and complex regionalization strategies. * Maximize Efficiency & Scale: Drive initiatives to drastically increase hardware, database, and network utilization across our global infrastructure footprint. * Steer AI/ML Platform Transformations: Own the program roadmap for embedding cutting-edge AI capabilities and advanced ML infrastructure directly into our foundational core platforms. * Collaborate Horizontally: Roll up your sleeves to map out and manage deep technical dependencies across disparate infrastructure, data engineering, and platform squads. * Define North-Star Architecture: Partner with senior engineering stakeholders to determine what our destination, long-term technical architecture looks like, converting that vision into actionable engineering phases. ## Related Videos - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Microservices: how to get started with Spring Boot and Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/242-microservices-how-to-get-started-with-spring-boot-and-kubernetes) - [Inside Bitpanda's Tech Stack: Scaling a European Fintech Leader - Markus Dorner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1979-inside-bitpanda-s-tech-stack-scaling-a-european-fintech-leader-markus-dorner) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production)
