At R2, we believe that small and medium businesses are the productive engine of society. Small and medium businesses (SMBs) make up over 90% of companies in Latin America, yet they face a trillion-dollar credit gap. Our mission is to unlock SMBs’ potential by providing financial solutions tailored to their needs. We are reimagining the financial infrastructure of Latin America, where SMBs’ financial needs are met without ever having to go to a bank.
R2 enables platforms across Latin America to embed financial services that SMBs can leverage, starting with revenue-based financing. We are a high-performing, close-knit team with talent from organizations such as Google, Amazon, Nubank, Uber, Capital One, Mercado Libre, Globant, and J.P. Morgan.
We are entering a new phase of growth following a strategic investment from Ant International, focused on rapidly expanding our partner footprint, strengthening our credit and underwriting capabilities, and scaling operations across multiple markets. As part of this growth journey, eligible team members have the opportunity to participate in R2’s Phantom Share Program, a performance-based incentive designed to align our team with the company’s long-term success and value creation. We believe in building a culture of ownership, where those who help create value share meaningfully in it.
As a Software Engineering Manager (EM), you will be responsible for building and nurturing a high-performing engineering team. You’ll balance people leadership, execution management, and technical guidance, ensuring the team delivers high-quality, scalable solutions aligned with product and business goals.

Because when talent is done right, it doesn’t just fill roles; it fuels growth, reduces risk, and builds the foundation for culture, clarity, and momentum.
As part of a venture capital firm, we bring real-world experience and insight to every engagement.
What makes us different:
> A real understanding of what it takes to scale.
> A curated community of pre-vetted candidates who come through trusted referrals and long-term relationships.
> Strategic guidance for leaders navigating complex talent decisions.
>Market intelligence that goes beyond compensation benchmarks.
