The Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is Nubanks AI-first platform ecosystem designed to radically compress our product development workflow from concept to production.

Today building Magic App-quality experiences in our Backend-Driven Content (BDC) stack takes 49 working days and 24 handoff-heavy steps DXP exists to close this Creation Gap and Workflow Gap by making AI-native tooling the default way we design build and ship experiences.

We are building four core products: DXP Studio (an AI-powered creation environment that turns Figma designs into production-ready BDC code) DXP Dictionary (the curated knowledge base that makes AI agents Nu-aware) DXP Spec Protocol (our vendor-agnostic abstraction layer) and DXP Workflow (an orchestration platform for hybrid human AI agent teams across the product lifecycle).

As a Staff Software Engineer DXP you will be the technical leader and multiplier for this initiative: shaping the architecture of an AI-native platform driving critical decisions across the Figma-to-BDC pipeline and agent orchestration and partnering closely with Product Design and Engineering leadership to prove value and scale the platform company-wide.

Were looking for someone genuinely addicted to AI who obsessively explores new models agent frameworks and AI-powered tools and can turn that passion into leverage for thousands of Nubank engineers.

Youll be responsible for

• Architect the DXP Studio pipeline: Design and lead the end-to-end architecture for the Figma DXP Spec BDC code generation flow ensuring vendor-agnostic abstractions (DXP Spec Protocol) NuDS component fidelity and production-ready output quality.
• Lead AI agent integration & orchestration: Define how AI agents (codegen QA design-mapping etc.) are composed executed and supervised inside DXP; drive decisions on LLM provider abstraction context-assembly strategies MCP tool surfaces and execution environments.
• Own the DXP Dictionary and knowledge architecture: Architect the knowledge base that turns generic AI into Nubank-aware agents how NuDS specs tokens canonical patterns and domain knowledge are ingested structured and consumed by generation and validation pipelines.
• Drive cross-platform integration: Lead the technical integration model with NuDS (component catalog & tokens) BDC/Core (patterns & services) HPP (widget / homepage infrastructure) and App Excellence (observability & quality metrics) defining clear contracts that position DXP as an orchestrator on top of existing platforms.
• Establish quality-at-generation-time: Design automated quality enforcement for generated experiences NuDS compliance token correctness accessibility rules structural integrity golden tests so governance happens by default at generation time not via manual post-hoc review.
• Set technical strategy and roadmap: Contribute to the 618 month technical strategy for DXP translating strategic bets into executable plans identifying architectural risks and trade-offs between POCs and long-term scalability.
• Multiply engineering excellence: Mentor engineers within DXP and partner teams (NuDS BDC Mobile Platform) lead design reviews and RFCs and raise the bar for AI-augmented development practices across Nubank.

We are looking for a person who has

Must Have

• Genuine obsession with AI tools and workflows deep hands-on daily experience with LLMs AI agents and modern AI-powered dev tools (e.g. Claude Code Cursor Copilot custom agents MCP servers); you are the person who has tried new tools before others even ask about them.
• Strong software architecture skills with experience designing multi-component platform systems that integrate AI/LLM capabilities into production workflows.
• Deep understanding of design-to-code pipelines design systems or component-driven UI development ideally bridging design tooling (e.g. Figma) and code generation.
• Practical experience with AI/LLM integration in software products: prompt engineering agent orchestration context management RAG architectures and/or MCP tool development.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical initiatives involving multiple teams and stakeholders driving alignment and delivery in ambiguous environments.
• Excellent communication skills translating complex architectural decisions into clear narratives for Product Design and senior leadership.
• Product-minded mindset balancing technical excellence with pragmatic delivery comfortable proving value via POCs before scaling platform capabilities.
• Experience with Nubanks stack or similar patterns: BDC (Backend-Driven Content) and broader mobile/frontend ecosystems.

Will be a Plus

• Experience with Flutter at the intersection of design systems and code generation.
• Hands-on experience building or integrating AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code Devin Cursor) into team workflows.
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration platforms agent farms or multi-agent systems.
• Understanding of analytical architectures experimentation platforms feature flags and progressive rollout strategies for generated experiences.
• Prior experience productizing internal developer tools or platforms that serve large engineering orgs.
• Contributions to open-source AI developer tools or active presence in the AI-for-developers community.
