Process
Once you've been contacted by their hiring team:
- Fill out an application form. One of the questions there is to enter your salary expectation (they don't share much details about the compensation, only say that it's "competitive").
- Watch a webinar (an optional step, good if you have questions about the process).
- Do a take-home exercise to submit within 3-5 days.
- Wait a long time and either continue with the process (there should be another 3-4 steps after the code exercise) or receive a generic rejection message.
Questions
As others have already shared, you're asked to create a CLI script.

either give up your personal life or be considered below expectations
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
São Paulo, São Paulo
August 23, 2020
Pros: "cool" place to work;
looks awesome in any CV;
work with some of the best engineers in the world
Cons: Be prepared to work more than you want, and still feel like you're not delivering enough!
And don't worry, the company will be sure to tell you that you're not delivering enough, regardless if you just went through a mental breakdown because of a year-long burnout coupled with your chronic depression!
And don't worry, they pay more than most companies in São Paulo, but they will expect you to be an international level engineer (pro tip: you can have a salary at least twice of what Nubank pays if you work remotely for a foreign company)
