As a Lead Software Engineer on our Palo Alto crypto team, you will build the customer-facing mobile and full-stack experiences that bring Nubank's global crypto offering to life - from the first interaction through the services that power it. Your scope will be a meaningful product area, not a single screen or an isolated service. You will lead team-level technical design, own delivery across mobile and backend boundaries, and make the tradeoffs required to create intuitive experiences without weakening security, correctness, performance, or reliability. You will work closely with product, design, backend and platform engineering, security, and compliance partners. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role with responsibility for mentoring engineers, improving team practices, and remaining accountable for production health after launch. You'll be responsible for * Lead the design, implementation, launch, and operation of customer-facing mobile and full-stack crypto experiences. * Own complete product flows across mobile interfaces, APIs, service integrations, data and state management, release readiness, and post-launch health. * Translate complex concepts such as wallets, asset movement, and onchain transactions into clear, understandable customer experiences. * Make independent team-level architecture decisions and communicate tradeoffs across usability, security, performance, reliability, and delivery speed. * Build resilient transactional experiences with deliberate validation, error handling, recovery paths, testing, and observability. * Coordinate dependencies with backend, platform, security, compliance, product, and design partners to move initiatives from ambiguity to production. * Mentor engineers and raise the team's standards for mobile architecture, code quality, operational ownership, and customer-centered engineering. ## Related Videos - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [From APIs to MCP: Enterprise Governance, Registry, and Controls](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100336-from-apis-to-mcp-enterprise-governance-registry-and-controls) - [Let's Talk Quality! - Lilia Gargouri](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1815-let-s-talk-quality-lilia-gargouri) - [Enterprise-Cloud-Native - Fast-Paced Development & Deployment in a Highly Secure Banking Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/671-enterprise-cloud-native-fast-paced-development-deployment-in-a-highly-secure-banking-environment) - [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) - [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) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [How Much FAANG Companies Actually Pay Software Engineers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/230-how-much-faang-companies-actually-pay-software-engineers-in-2025) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers)
