About Gigs
At Gigs, we are revolutionizing the mobile services landscape by creating a powerful operating system that enables tech companies to seamlessly integrate global connectivity into their products.
Much like how Stripe allows businesses to incorporate a payment button instantly, Gigs empowers platforms to effortlessly weave connectivity into their offerings, bridging the gap between traditional telecom and modern technology. From fintech companies launching mobile services to HR platforms providing work phone plans, we streamline provisioning and eliminate telecom complexities.
Our dynamic team of around 100 professionals, located across the US and Europe, is supported by nearly $100 million in funding from renowned investors such as Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. We are among the fastest-growing tech companies, uniting early-stage engineers, product innovators, and business leaders from industry giants like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. Together, we are addressing complex technical and regulatory challenges to create truly seamless connectivity.
If you possess a strong sense of curiosity, creativity, and desire to influence the future of telecommunications, we want to hear from you.
The Role
We are seeking our inaugural engineer in Brazil—a proactive builder who thrives on ownership and impact. This role is more than just another engineering position; it offers a unique opportunity to lay the groundwork for our presence in Latin America while shaping the global future of telecom.
At Gigs, your responsibilities will extend beyond just integrating APIs or solving backend challenges (though you will certainly engage in plenty of that). You will be constructing the foundational elements of products that empower millions to connect in innovative ways. Your efforts will directly influence how businesses across various sectors bring connectivity to life, tackling the intricacies of telecom networks and developing elegant, scalable solutions.
As the first engineering hire in Brazil, you will also play a pivotal role in setting the company culture: collaborating closely with teams in Europe and the US, helping define best practices locally, and demonstrating that exceptional innovation transcends Silicon Valley or Berlin.
We have already established a remarkable early team in Brazil, drawing talent from top local companies such as Nubank and other high-performing scale-ups. We are now looking for our initial engineer on the ground to help shape our local operations and development practices.
If you are excited about the prospect of diving in, tackling the exhilarating challenges of building from the ground up, and leaving a tangible impact on both our company and the industry, this role is tailor-made for you.
