Senior🎓
Top SchoolRodrigo Flores is a seasoned Senior Staff Software Engineer with 17 years of experience, who has grown with Nubank since its Series A and now focuses on cloud-native infrastructure and core platform systems. He began in Ruby/Rails and databases, transitioned to Clojure, Kafka, and Datomic in 2014, and has expanded into Kubernetes, Istio, Envoy, Pulumi and deep AWS knowledge since 2024. Rodrigo blends hands-on engineering with people leadership—having been a Tech Lead and Engineering Manager—mentoring teams, driving hiring and onboarding, and aligning technical work tightly with business impact. He’s delivered high-impact projects across credit, accounts, investments and HR, and is comfortable moving between product engineering and infrastructure domains. Less obvious: he pairs long-term platform ownership with a practical habit of shipping core libraries and tooling that improve developer productivity across the company.
