What's the opportunity?

We are looking for a Head of Developer Productivity to lead the strategy, execution and continuous improvement of the tools, workflows and AI-powered systems that make our engineers more productive every day.

 

In this role you will own the Developer Productivity (DevPro) vision and multi-year roadmap inside Cloud Platform. You will lead a team composed of several specialized sub-teams — including an AI software-engineering agent squad, an internal frameworks and libraries team, a CI/CD and platform tooling team, and a shared applications team — and you will be accountable for how all of them come together to reduce engineering friction, improve delivery metrics, and embed AI into every phase of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).

 

This is an AI-leadership role. We already have a production ecosystem of AI agents that automate coding, planning, code review, and vulnerability remediation across the SDLC — and we are actively expanding it. Your mission is to scale these capabilities, drive adoption across the engineering organization, and make AI the default way engineers work at dLocal.

 

You will partner closely with AI Labs, AI Engineering, Platform, SRE, Security and Product teams to shape how AI agents, engineering metrics, internal frameworks and our Internal Developer Platform converge into a cohesive, high-leverage developer experience.
