Summary
Livia Barbosa is a Senior Backend Engineer with nine years of experience building resilient APIs and financial integrations, currently driving accounting and HR integrations at Remote from design through production. With an M.Sc. in Computer Science from UFMG, she has led end-to-end implementations for Xero, NetSuite and QuickBooks and recently shipped Chart of Accounts and GL mapping work that improved automation and reporting accuracy.

She emphasizes security, scalability and thoughtful API design, and has contributed to foundational Remote client and partner APIs.
