What this job asks for AI summary
A software developer role focused on building and maintaining the card-acquiring infrastructure at a Brazilian corporate fintech. Day-to-day work covers the full transactional cycle — authorization, capture, settlement, reconciliation, and anti-fraud — along with integrations to card networks and sub-acquirers using protocols such as ISO 8583. The role suits engineers experienced with high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems, asynchronous messaging, and a DevOps mindset.

Why we read it this way (7)
This role is based in São Paulo, Brazil (100% on-site at Rua Pamplona, 145 — Cerqueira César), so US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
The posting is written entirely in Portuguese and targets the Brazilian payments/acquiring market. No US security clearance or degree requirement is stated.
The job title is simply 'Desenvolvedor(a) em Adquirência' (Acquiring Developer) with no explicit seniority level, but the scope — high-volume transactional systems, SLA-critical latency, incident war rooms, complex protocol integrations — supports a Senior classification.
The required skills section ('O que não pode faltar') names architectural patterns and operational practices rather than specific named technologies, so those are captured at the pattern level (microservices, serverless, event-driven, async messaging, observability). No specific language, framework, or database is hard-gated.
All GCP-specific services (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks, Cloud Scheduler), acquiring protocols (ISO 8583, ISO 20022), and domain knowledge (PCI DSS, fraud/risk, card-scheme ecosystem) appear exclusively under the 'O que aumenta as suas chances' (nice-to-have) section.
Compensation is described only as 'salário mensal atrativo comparado ao mercado' (attractive monthly salary compared to market) with no figures given.
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.
