Nubank operates in a hybrid model, where teams collaborate remotely and periodically come together for about one week of in‑person sessions. For Canadian team members, these sessions typically take place in one of our hubs (Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, or the United States) and are communicated well in advance to allow proper planning, with travel support provided to ensure equitable access to these global collaboration opportunities.

Our recruitment process may involve the use of artificial intelligence–enabled tools, such as automated interview transcription and analysis, to support the evaluation process. Artificial intelligence is not used to make final hiring decisions; all decisions are made by human reviewers.

Base salary range: $156,000 - $187,200 (includes base salary, RSUs, and benefits).
