About the role

The Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is Nubank’s AI-first platform ecosystem designed to radically compress our product development workflow from concept to production.

Today, building “Magic App”-quality experiences in our Backend-Driven Content (BDC) stack takes ~49 working days and ~24 handoff-heavy steps — DXP exists to close this Creation Gap and Workflow Gap by making AI-native tooling the default way we design, build, and ship experiences.

We are building four core products: DXP Studio (an AI-powered creation environment that turns Figma designs into production-ready BDC code), DXP Dictionary (the curated knowledge base that makes AI agents “Nu-aware”), DXP Spec Protocol (our vendor-agnostic abstraction layer), and DXP Workflow (an orchestration platform for hybrid human + AI agent teams across the product lifecycle).

As a Staff Software Engineer – DXP , you will be the technical leader and multiplier for this initiative: shaping the architecture of an AI-native platform, driving critical decisions across the Figma-to-BDC pipeline and agent orchestration, and partnering closely with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership to prove value and scale the platform company-wide.

We’re looking for someone genuinely addicted to AI — who obsessively explores new models, agent frameworks, and AI-powered tools, and can turn that passion into leverage for thousands of Nubank engineers.

You’ll be responsible for

• Architect the DXP Studio pipeline: Design and lead the end-to-end architecture for the Figma → DXP Spec → BDC code generation flow, ensuring vendor-agnostic abstractions (DXP Spec Protocol), NuDS component fidelity, and production-ready output quality.
• Lead AI agent integration & orchestration: Define how AI agents (codegen, QA, design-mapping, etc.) are composed, executed, and supervised inside DXP; drive decisions on LLM provider abstraction, context-assembly strategies, MCP tool surfaces, and execution environments.
• Own the DXP Dictionary and knowledge architecture: Architect the knowledge
