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.

• 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.
