Responsibilities
- Architect and build internal systems and increasingly agentic tooling for Nubank’s design and research function.
- Build NuBrain, a global knowledge system that consolidates more than 30 local repositories and optimizes retrieval, context, and token consumption.
- Create a design-quality measurement platform that produces system-generated quality scores for user experiences.
- Evaluate approximately 100 locally built AI solutions, standardize appropriate tools, and retire duplicative solutions.
- Translate designers’ and researchers’ needs into scoped, buildable systems and choose the appropriate implementation shape.
- Stand up or reuse infrastructure, write code, ship tools, and instrument them with metrics and observability.
- Own the Design Center of Excellence tooling roadmap, prioritization, sequencing, and delivery.
- Serve as the technical voice within the design organization and make engineering trade-offs understandable to non-engineers.
Requirements
- Deep experience building systems that other teams build on.
- Track record architecting UX systems, including design systems, component platforms, UI frameworks, or front-end infrastructure used by many teams.
- Experience using AI to build compelling examples and sophisticated systems.
- Ideally, experience building agents, tooling, or infrastructure that helps designers work more effectively.
- Ability to navigate stakeholders, lead projects, and drive work independently without direct authority or a project manager.
- Evidence of shipped work through GitHub repositories, live tools, demos, or systems that can be presented and explained.
- This is an engineering-first role and requires a high engineering bar; a design portfolio is not requested.
