What I'm looking for

Remote Senior Software Engineer role (backend or full stack) with Node.js, TypeScript, Python and AI agents. I like owning production systems end to end: APIs, microservices, integrations, performance and reliability. I value async teams and strong engineering culture (code review, testing, observability).

At TOTVS, I design and develop AI agents and workflows for engineering and internal automation. I use Claude Code and other AI-assisted development tools to investigate code, debug, implement, refactor, and generate tests, then validate the results.

Before my current role, I maintained seven production microservices at TOTVS and reduced authentication traffic between a monolith and a microservice from approximately 150,000 daily requests per client to one. I also cut processing time for a critical external events endpoint from eight hours to eight minutes.

At TOTVS, I developed HR-sector integrations and contributed to a self-service product that helped reduce the integration implementation backlog from approximately one year to five days. I increased backend test coverage from 0% to approximately 80% using Jest and Vitest.

At GRUPO NEXXERA, I migrated projects from a proprietary language to Python and developed payment and banking integrations. I also reduced the runtime of queries used by other teams from approximately six hours to 30 seconds.
