At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.
Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.
Our team of around 150 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.
If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.
We are building in a highly complex space and tackling a massive problem. We want people who lean in when things get hard.
Gigs is on a mission to build the world's largest and first truly global telecom carrier. We are making the telecom stack fully and easily programmable, the way modern fintechs did for payments. Nobody else has abstracted the messy telecom legacy at this scale, which is one reason brands like Nubank, PicPay, Revolut, Cash App and others are already building on our platform.
Our engineering org is distributed across Berlin, Amsterdam, London, and New York. São Paulo is our newest hub, in a business critical market, and you will be its founding leader.
Your first mandate is continuity: you inherit our Network Integrations Americas team, today distributed across Europe, and bring its center of gravity to São Paulo without losing momentum on live, launch-critical work. You will line-manage the team, run a deliberate handover from the current European engineers, and build the local cohort that becomes the team's core.
From there, you partner with the VP of Engineering and other leaders to shape what the hub becomes: which domains land in São Paulo next, and how the site grows.
This is a founding leadership seat with an existing, meaningful team underneath it. Not a greenfield gamble, and not a maintenance job. You get a real mandate from day one and the latitude to shape a hub from the ground up, at Head of Engineering seniority, reporting directly to the VP of Engineering. You start as the team's line leader, but you won't stay one unless you choose to: as the hub grows and you hire Engineering Managers, the shape of your own role is yours to define.
At Gigs, we value in-person collaboration. We believe the best ideas, decisions, and relationships are built when teams spend meaningful time together, and our culture is designed around that belief. We support flexibility where it makes sense. Some focused work can be done remotely, and not every role or week looks the same. You should expect regular time in one of our hubs, as well as occasional travel for team workshops, customer meetings, and Gigs Republic, our bi-annual company off-site. Our offices are designed to feel like home-inspired workspaces, with plants, thoughtful tools, and small, tight-knit teams that make collaboration feel natural, energizing, and effective.
At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. We offer competitive compensation and stock options because we see you as a true partner in our growth. We also provide stipends for your home office or work setup, a budget for learning and development to fuel your career, and of course, a free phone and international data plan
