We are PagaPresto a digital welfare solution startup on a mission to help people make better financial decisions coping with everyday financial needs. In short, we provide early wage access and unlock wages already earned without the need to wait for the next payday!

We are in search of our first engineering hire to play a significant role in leading new developments, build awesome products, and grow a outstanding team. As with any startup, this role requires wearing multiple hats in helping execute the vision of the company.

We seek a driven individual not afraid of challenges, that is open to learning, and who does whatever it takes to make the project a success!

We expect the Senior Software Engineering to be someone who is up to date on all the latest technologies and likes to utilize best practices in their day-to-day work.

Provide valuable insights and direction to the rest of the co-founding team related to tech feasibility and opportunities,
Form the core of the future engineering team of the company, assisting with growth and hiring plans for the team,
Apply industry best practices and bring new ideas to the table

You are pragmatic by nature; therefore, you understand how tech supports the business direction and the importance of launching something on time and within a constrained budget of time and effort,
You lived/studied/worked in international contexts, and you learned international best practices,
You have a solid entrepreneurial spirit; you are able to make the most complex things as simple as possible,
