A Tech Lead role on an international engineering team delivering large-scale payment systems. Day-to-day work involves designing and maintaining Java/Spring Boot microservices on cloud-native infrastructure, guiding a team of engineers, and contributing to architecture decisions across multiple teams.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The role is based outside the United States — CI&T is a Brazilian company and the benefits listed (meal allowance, PLR, Wellhub/Gympass, Brazilian-style parental benefits) are consistent with a Brazil-based position. No US location is mentioned, so US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
The title hashtag '#MidSenior' and the framing 'Tech Lead or Senior Software Developer' suggest the role sits at the Senior level; it is classified accordingly.
The role involves leading a team of engineers, but the JD frames it as a hands-on Tech Lead / Senior Developer rather than a people-management position with direct-report ownership, so 15-1252 is preferred over 11-3021 — though the management angle is a genuine runner-up.
AWS appears in the tech stack narrative section rather than the explicit requirements block; it is marked preferred accordingly.
Pix and Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) experience are listed under 'Nice to have' and are marked preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
