Founded in 2012 and headquartered in NYC, we have a growing global team in 11 countries. We're hiring a Tech Lead Backend Engineer for our Billing team in Brazil. In this role, you'll be responsible for the platform that serves the entire Wellhub business, processing millions of transactions for users and companies globally.
