What they're building

AI across the core operation, described in postings as conversational commerce, generative marketing and insight extraction from interactions moderate signal

Today: "redefining the used car market in LatAm" (Junior Software Engineer posting)

Roles: Senior Back End Engineer · Senior Full Stack Engineer · Junior Software Engineer · Senior Product Manager

Requirements mention: construir con inteligencia artificial · sistemas que extraen insights de millones de interacciones · inteligencia artificial

Inference: the same AI-first description appears in four postings across Engineering and Kuna, so it reads as a company-wide recruiting statement. The specific hiring tied to it is back-end and full-stack work on AI and on extracting insights from interactions. The roles show hiring for it, not a launch date.

Agentic systems that make real-time decisions inside Kuna moderate signal

Today: "Kuna, nuestra vertical fintech" (Senior AI Engineer - Agentic Systems posting)

Roles: Senior AI Engineer - Agentic Systems

Requirements mention: agentes que ejecutan decisiones en tiempo real · sistemas agenticos · validaciones que eviten riesgos · auditabilidad

Inference: the posting describes agents covering eligibility, profiling, validation and origination inside Kuna. The single role does not show how far this has progressed.

Consolidating payments infrastructure into one cash-in and cash-out team, building a new cash-out server moderate signal

Today: Kavak payments flows as described in the Senior to Staff Software Engineer posting: "consolidando toda su infraestructura de pagos en un solo equipo"

Roles: Senior to Staff Software Engineer

Requirements mention: infraestructura de pagos · servidor de cash-out · canales de ingreso de dinero

Inference: the posting says the new cash-out server is being built "desde cero", so this hire would work on a new system rather than maintain an existing one.

SPEI infrastructure connecting Cuenca to Banco de México, and Kavak credit card features weak signal

Today: "la infraestructura SPEI que conecta a Cuenca con Banco de México" (Senior Software Engineer, Cuenca posting)

Roles: Senior Software Engineer

Requirements mention: infraestructura SPEI

You'd fit if you have worked on payments infrastructure, cash-out servers or money-in channels ("infraestructura de pagos", "servidor de cash-out", "canales de ingreso de dinero"), as the Senior to Staff Software Engineer posting asks, and can work in Mexico City.
You'd fit if you have owned systems end to end and built ones that extract insights from large volumes of interactions ("sistemas que extraen insights de millones de interacciones"), as the Senior Back End Engineer posting asks; it is the one remote role.

How to use this
