Vtex

Staff Software Engineer

Brazil Full Time

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to be a technical leader and a "finder" of opportunities across our engineering organization. At VTEX, a Staff Engineer doesn’t just solve complex problems; they anticipate them. 

In this role, you will solve ambiguous problems involving multiple systems within a vertical domain, ensuring architectural consistency and scalability for our global platform. You won’t just maintain a piece of the machine; you will shape the technical direction, define engineering patterns, and create a long-term technical vision that aligns with our business objectives. Your work will involve leading cross-team design reviews and unblocking strategic initiatives through influence and expert guidance.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Currently, we have various open positions available across different domains. As a Staff Engineer, your impact will transcend a single team, as you will be expected to multiply the impact of those around you and foster a culture of technical excellence across the organization.

WHO YOU ARE

  • The "Finder" Mindset: You have a proven track record of finding opportunities, anticipating hidden technical risks, and proactively preventing problems from design to production. 
  • System-wide Architect: You have extensive experience building backend systems for large-scale applications and are comfortable designing scalable solutions that involve complex, multi-system dependencies.
  • Technical Visionary: You can translate business goals into a clear technical vision and are capable of defining the "golden paths" and engineering practices that other teams will follow.
  • Multiplier of Talent: You are a strong delegator who knows how to scale execution by empowering others. You have experience mentoring multiple engineers and influencing decision-making across several teams.
  • Language Agnostic: You are proficient in multiple programming languages and can choose the right tool for the job (although our primary language is C#).
  • Strategic Communicator: You can effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences in English and Portuguese.
  • Curious & Hands-on: You stay up to date with market trends and are intentional about using AI, LLMs, and automation to boost team productivity and code quality.
