Backend Software Engineer

João Pedro Pio

I build the systems that move money. Nine years of backend work, most of it in payments and financial infrastructure — Go, Elixir and PostgreSQL in production at Stone.

01 About

For the past several years I've worked almost exclusively in financial infrastructure — payment platforms at EBANX and, since 2026, at Stone. Day to day that means Go and Elixir services talking to PostgreSQL, shipped through CI/CD, and watched over in Datadog and Grafana when things get interesting.

I started out in .NET at Agile Content, building REST APIs for Telefónica's streaming and OTT platforms. That's where I first ran into Kafka, Docker and event-driven architecture — and that grounding in distributed systems is still the part of the job I enjoy most.

I care about tests that actually catch things, services that are boring to operate, and code the next person can read without asking me first.
