Brazil
Brazil is Latin America's largest tech market, and São Paulo runs it. The scene is fintech-heavy, born out of an underbanked population and the success of Nubank, with C6 Bank, Creditas, and Dock all scaling. Beyond finance, iFood dominates delivery and QuintoAndar reshaped real estate, so the roles span banking infrastructure to consumer marketplaces.

Where Brazil’s tech talent studies
Brazil's tech talent concentrates in a few institutions: the University of Sao Paulo, the country's largest and best-known university (a Nubank co-founder studied there), and ITA, an elite aeronautics institute that produced Embraer's founder. Together they anchor the country's engineering and startup base.

Unicorn startups in Brazil
The unicorn roster is fintech-first: digital banking at C6, lending at Creditas, and payments infrastructure at Dock and Ebanx. Real estate shows up strong in QuintoAndar and Loft, and Wildlife Studios and Wellhub round out a bench that reflects Brazil's scale and its appetite for rebuilding old industries digitally.

Tech jobs in Brazil: common questions
How many tech jobs are open in Brazil right now?
Feeny tracks about 2,137 active tech roles in Brazil across 243 companies. These are live listings we scrape and refresh, not a number that went stale months ago. São Paulo accounts for most of the volume, with Rio de Janeiro, Campinas, and Curitiba trailing. A role listed here was open when we last pulled it.
Which cities in Brazil have the most tech jobs?
São Paulo runs the show among the 3 Brazilian cities we track, and it is not close. Rio de Janeiro comes next, with Campinas and Curitiba adding smaller but real pockets of engineering work. The country's tech weight is heavily centered on São Paulo the way its finance and industry are. Outside those cities, openings drop off quickly.
What companies are hiring for tech roles in Brazil?
Nubank turned Brazil into Latin America's biggest fintech story, and its shadow is long: C6 Bank, Creditas, and Dock all build financial infrastructure in the same market. iFood dominates food delivery, and QuintoAndar reshaped how Brazilians rent and buy homes. These are companies operating at real scale for a market of over 200 million people. Fintech and marketplace engineering are where most of the hiring lives.
What kinds of tech roles are common in Brazil?
Fintech is the dominant category, powered by Nubank and the wave of financial companies that followed it. Delivery and marketplace work is the other major source of roles, led by iFood and QuintoAndar. Because these companies serve enormous user bases, backend engineering at scale is in steady demand. If you build systems that handle high volume, this market has work for you.
What is it like to work in tech in Brazil?
São Paulo is the largest tech market in Latin America, and working there means building for a huge domestic user base rather than exporting your labor abroad. Cost of living is far lower than in US or European hubs, though local salaries reflect that. The honest picture is that Brazil hires its own large talent pool first, and a lot of foreign-facing work here is remote or contract. For local engineers the scene is deep; for outsiders it is more a remote market than a place you move to.
Can international candidates get a work visa to work in tech in Brazil?
A work visa is available and employer-sponsored, but the process is bureaucratic and slow. Brazil overwhelmingly fills tech roles from its own large local talent pool, so relocation is uncommon. Much of the foreign-facing engineering work is done remotely or on contract rather than by moving to the country. The honest answer is that Brazil is more a local-hire and remote market than a relocation destination.
