At R2, we believe that small and medium businesses are the productive engine of society. Small and medium businesses (SMBs) make up over 90% of companies in Latin America, yet they face a trillion-dollar credit gap. Our mission is to unlock SMBs’ potential by providing financial solutions tailored to their needs. We are reimagining the financial infrastructure of Latin America, where SMBs’ financial needs are met without ever having to go to a bank.
R2 enables platforms across Latin America to embed financial services that SMBs can leverage, starting with revenue-based financing. We are a high-performing, close-knit team with talent from organizations such as Google, Amazon, Nubank, Uber, Capital One, Mercado Libre, Globant, and J.P. Morgan.
We are entering a new phase of growth following a strategic investment from Ant International, focused on rapidly expanding our partner footprint, strengthening our credit and underwriting capabilities, and scaling operations across multiple markets. As part of this growth journey, eligible team members have the opportunity to participate in R2’s Phantom Share Program, a performance-based incentive designed to align our team with the company’s long-term success and value creation. We believe in building a culture of ownership, where those who help create value share meaningfully in it.
We are seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) with deep expertise in data and systems orchestration to lead mission-critical initiatives across R2. This role focuses on designing, implementing, and optimizing complex workflows that power R2’s financial infrastructure. The TPM will prioritize and unblock key data engineering workflows, drive cross-functional system design, establish KPIs to measure progress and communicate progress on technical plans across internal stakeholders.

- Automate and optimize core processing systems, including real-time payment flows
- Improve cross-functional integration workflows, including QA of underwriting systems, Risk analyses, and partner offer generation timelines
- Define and track technical KPIs, providing clear reporting on project progress, system performance, and business impact

- Fluency in SQL, Python, or other scripting languages to query and optimize data workflows
- Ability to translate and execute complex technical solutions into clear roadmaps for business and engineering stakeholders

- Familiarity with multi-country payment automation and banking integrations
- Expertise in financial data reconciliation and payment risk management processes
What We Offer:
- The chance to join a high-impact, mission-driven fintech with regional scale
