Analytics Engineer at FBS - Remote Role in Brazil — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote Flexibility: This role explicitly offers flexible work arrangements (remote and/or office-based), making it viable for location-independent professionals. However, since the Employer of Record is Capgemini Brazil, you will likely need to be legally based in Brazil to receive payroll and benefits — meaning true nomadic freedom across countries is limited.
Timezone Considerations: The role is embedded in a US-linked organization (Farmers/FBS), so expect some overlap with US business hours (likely EST or CST). This typically means afternoon/evening availability in Brazil (GMT-3), which aligns naturally with Brasília time and also works well from nearby time zones like Argentina or Uruguay.
Visa & Legal Notes: Employment is channeled through Capgemini Brazil as EOR, which strongly implies you need Brazilian residency or a valid Brazilian work authorization. Digital nomad visas from other countries would not satisfy this requirement.
Cost of Living Context: Brazil-based tech salaries for senior data engineers typically range from BRL 10,000–20,000/month. Compared to popular nomad hubs:
- São Paulo / Florianópolis: Mid-to-high cost by Brazilian standards, but very affordable vs. US/EU markets.
- Medellín, Colombia: Not applicable — you'd need Brazilian legal status.
- Lisbon, Portugal: Not applicable for this role's EOR structure.
Perks for Remote Workers: Training & development with renowned partners is a valuable async-friendly benefit. No explicit coworking or equipment stipend mentioned — worth clarifying during the interview process.
FBS – Farmer Business Services is part of Farmers operations with the purpose of building a global approach to identifying, recruiting, hiring, and retaining top talent. By combining international reach with US expertise, we build diverse and high-performing teams that are equipped to thrive in today's competitive marketplace.
We believe that the foundation of every successful business lies in having the right people with the right skills. That is where we come in—helping Farmers build a winning team that delivers consistent and sustainable results.
Since we don't have a local legal entity, we've partnered with Capgemini, which acts as the Employer of Record. Capgemini is responsible for managing local payroll and benefits.
