Grupo QuintoAndar | Staff Software Engineer (Women Applicants Only)

Role overview

This is a senior Staff Software Engineer position within a large Latin American real estate technology ecosystem. The role is an individual-contributor technical leadership track, focused on setting architectural direction for complex, high-scale platforms that support the full housing journey. It is designated as an affirmative-action opportunity open to women applicants, with the broader engineering organization operating on a remote-first model across Brazil.

Responsibilities

- Define and own the core architectural strategy and technical roadmap for complex platform scopes, identifying organization-wide opportunities for new investment. - Translate vague, ambiguous, or unstructured problems into execution-ready technical plans, producing systems that are simple, well-documented, and operable by engineers at all levels. - Establish engineering standards, best practices, and quality policies across multiple domains, acting as a technical advisor and proactively removing obstacles for software, product, and data quality. - Mentor senior engineers (including the most senior individual-contributor levels) and provide technical assessments that inform project strategy, team composition, and long-term planning. - Serve as a lead interviewer for senior and principal-level technical roles, setting and guarding the technical hiring bar across sourcing and internal allocation processes. - Engage in high-concurrency, mission-critical system design, addressing complex data consistency, service decoupling, and systemic reliability challenges across team boundaries.

Requirements

- 10+ years of professional software development experience, with a track record of leading the design of high-concurrency, high-availability distributed platforms. - Strong command of modern software architecture paradigms, including distributed data consistency, fault tolerance, and system-level optimization. - Demonstrated ability to reason concretely about engineering trade-offs (for example, simplicity versus flexibility, velocity versus reliability, or build versus buy). - Experience designing systems that cross team boundaries and remain maintainable as both teams and products scale. - Proven ability to lead difficult structural conversations, remove collaboration barriers, build strategic roadmaps, and foster an inclusive engineering culture. - Fluency in Portuguese and excellent written and verbal English, given daily use of English for code, architecture documentation, and global alignment.

Benefits and work setup

- Remote-first model with the option to use São Paulo offices or partner coworking spaces up to twice per week. - Competitive compensation package with profit sharing. - Meal allowance, health and dental insurance, life insurance, and a home office allowance. - Childcare subsidy, plus an atypical-parenthood subsidy and extended parental leave. - Wellness benefits through a fitness/wellbeing platform, an employee assistance program covering mental health, social, legal, and financial support, and a benefits club with everyday discounts. - Day off on birthday, Mother's Day, and Father's Day, plus educational-institution discounts and a children's reading kit program. - Hiring process stages: application, technical CV screening, recruiter conversation, technical screening with a live coding case, technical interviews with live architecture cases, and offer.
