Description
What's the opportunity?
dLocal (NASDAQ: DLO) is the payments platform connecting global merchants with billions of emerging-market consumers. We run mission-critical infrastructure across LatAm, Africa, and Asia, at volumes and regulatory complexity that leave no margin for unreliable delivery. Our engineering organization ships to production many times a day and is running one of the most ambitious AI-assisted engineering transformations in fintech.
Most companies are learning the hard way that giving engineers AI tools and hoping for the best produces more code, not better software. Deployment frequency rises; change failure rate rises with it. Rollbacks become routine. Codebases drift out of architectural consistency as teams lean on different assistants with different defaults. The productivity win gets consumed by rework, incidents, and technical debt.
We are not running that experiment. We believe the platform is the distribution layer for AI inside an engineering organization, and that effective productivity — shipping faster without shipping more defects — is only achievable when standardization, reliability, and AI adoption are owned by one leader with the mandate and seniority to drive change across the org.
That's the opportunity. You will own how dLocal builds and ships software — the platform, the paved roads, the reliability posture, and the way AI is embedded into the engineering workflow — so that every engineer at dLocal is demonstrably more productive and demonstrably safer in production six months after you start. You will have direct exec-level visibility on dLocal's automation program, a seat at the engineering strategy table, and the mandate to reshape how hundreds of engineers work.
