Work Model for this Role 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.

Transparency in the use of AI Our recruitment process may involve the use of artificial intelligence–enabled tools, such as automated interview transcription and analysis, to support the evaluation process.
