THE OPPORTUNITY

We are hiring a Software Engineer Manager to our Darwin | CXTech team in Brazil! This is a Remote – Brazil position, meaning you can work from anywhere within the country. Please note that this role is only open to candidates in Brazil.

As the Tech Lead Manager for Darwin in CXTech group, you will sit at the intersection of hands-on technical leadership and people management. You will lead a high-performing squad of engineers, ensuring that our internal tools are as robust, performant, and easy to use as our external products.
