Company Overview

If you see technology as a way to smooth your path in life, our team does too: Your Path, Our Journey.

We believe in technology that connects talented people who embrace diversity to create and share paths we don't even know about (yet!). We work to generate value not only for our users but, above all, for the communities we serve and for society as a whole, making every day better for everyone with mobility and delivery services (99) or digital payments (99Pay).

To make life easier for millions of people every day, since 2018, we have been part of DiDi DiDi Global Inc., the world’s leading mobility technology platform. We are pioneers in creating innovative solutions that start in Brazil and scale up to make a positive impact in more than 12 countries where DiDi operates. This innovation encompasses sustainability, safety, artificial intelligence, financial markets, and much more.

Whether building projects from scratch or improving our solutions, we enjoy challenges that give us butterflies, which is why we work at a fast pace with respect, collaboration, and good humor. Along this journey, we also draw strength from diverse experiences and opinions to grow together, fail quickly, learn, and adjust the course to create solutions that deliver even better results.

  • Operate at the Intersection: Drive impact across high-stakes commercial partnerships, critical tech procurement, and the launch of cutting-edge new features.

  • Balance Protection and Velocity: Deeply understand our unit economics and operational pain points to ensure legal safety without slowing down deals or onboarding.

  • Drive Solutions: We don't want a lawyer whose default answer is "no." We need someone who confidently says: "Here is the risk, here is how we mitigate it, and here is the path forward."

  • Review and constantly update Terms of Use, privacy notices, and internal communication guidelines for both customers and partner restaurants
  • Work alongside the Customer Experience and Litigation teams to mitigate risk, analyze trends, and resolve systemic product issues related to Procon and consumer complaints
  • Translate complex consumer (CDC) and civil (CC) legal requirements into clear, actionable recommendations for product managers (PMs) and UX designers
  • Contribute to the development of internal risk mitigation policies and compliance frameworks related to platform and logistics operations
  • Collaborate as needed with cross-functional and regional teams to support the alignment of operational structures and product rollouts across Brazil
