Description
**The financial market is being reinvented through conversations.**
With solutions such as Blip Payments, Checkout, and Cred, we are not only integrating acquirers and payroll-deducted credit into the conversational ecosystem; we are building the first AI agents focused on payments within WhatsApp.
If you have solid experience in the financial sector and are eager to shape how thousands of people conduct transactions and access credit autonomously and intelligently, this is the right challenge for you — setting the standard of excellence for this new paradigm.
You will contribute to the architectural evolution of the platform, defining technical standards, consistent abstractions, and robust integrations that support diverse markets and international clusters. The context involves the strategic incorporation of AI capabilities, ensuring scalability, governance, and operational excellence. We seek a candidate with systemic vision, deep technical expertise, and strategic influence — motivated by challenges related to scale, internationalization, and building intelligent platforms with direct business impact.
