Jeeves is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our LATAM engineering team. You will design and build the backend systems that power Jeeves's financial platform — working across payments, cards, spend management, and compliance infrastructure that serves businesses across the Americas and beyond.
 
This is a backend engineering role at its core, we're looking for a strong backend engineer who knows how to work effectively with AI tools, understands where AI can accelerate development and product capabilities, and is comfortable integrating AI-powered features into production backend systems.
 
Given the global nature of our business and the collaborative nature of our team, fluency in English is required for daily work with engineering, product, and business teams across multiple regions. Fluency in Spanish or Portuguese is equally required — our LATAM teams, customers, and operational partners work in both languages, and you will too.
