Senior Full Stack Engineer at Monks - Remote Brazil — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This role is remote but Brazil-restricted: you must be legally based in Brazil and eligible to work there. This significantly limits location flexibility for typical digital nomads — you cannot legally take this role while living in, say, Lisbon or Bangkok on a tourist visa.
That said, for nomads who are Brazilian citizens or have long-term residency in Brazil, there is meaningful flexibility within the country. Brazil's size means you can work from coastal hubs like Florianópolis, buzzing metros like São Paulo, or quieter spots like Paraty — all without changing your employment status.
Timezone fit: Working from Brazil (BRT/BRST, UTC-3) gives reasonable overlap with both US Eastern and European business hours, which is useful for a global agency like Monks. The posting doesn't specify fixed hours, suggesting async-friendly workflows are possible.
- Cost-of-living context (Brazil): A senior full-stack engineer salary in Brazil — even at market rate — goes significantly further in cities like Recife or Curitiba versus São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, where costs can approach European levels in certain neighborhoods.
- No travel perks are explicitly mentioned (no equipment stipend, coworking allowance, or meetup budget listed).
If you're a non-Brazilian nomad hoping to work remotely from anywhere in LATAM, this role is not suitable. Look for roles that explicitly allow LATAM-wide remote work without a country-specific residency requirement.

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our team. Whether you're ready to embed with an established squad or help bootstrap a brand-new one, this is an opportunity to build impactful features across the stack with modern tools and a smart, collaborative team. You'll report to an Engineering Manager and work on real, high-impact initiatives.
Responsibilities:
- Own end-to-end feature delivery—from UI/UX to API and database design.
- Build and maintain scalable React interfaces.
- Architect and implement APIs using NestJS and Postgres.
- Manage integrations with external services using internal credential/token management systems.
- Design and implement secure OAuth 2.0 flows and SSO (Google, Microsoft, etc.).
- Contribute to and maintain our Docker/Kubernetes/Helm-based infrastructure.
- Collaborate with designers, product managers, and engineers across the organization.
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code across the stack.
About You
The essentials:
- Strong proficiency with TypeScript, React, NestJS, and Postgres.
- Comfortable shipping across the entire stack—UI to DB.
- Experience with monorepo tooling (pnpm, turborepo, nx).
- Solid understanding of API authentication, credential management, and secure integrations with third-party services.
- In-depth knowledge of OAuth 2.0, including implementation of valid auth flows and SSO.
- Experience working with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm in production environments.
- Familiarity with domain-driven design or clean architecture patterns.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform).
- Prior work in high-compliance environments (HIPAA, SOC2, etc.).
- Experience bootstrapping new squads or systems from scratch.
- AI/ML familiarity—especially implementing tools like LangChain or working with embeddings and RAG pipelines.
Location Requirement:
- This is a remote role, but applicants must be based in Brazil and legally eligible to work in the country.
