Since arriving in Mexico, Nu has established itself as one of the main drivers of change in the country’s financial sector. By offering simple, transparent products built around real people’s needs, we’re creating a new relationship with money and delivering tangible value in our customers’ financial lives.

This fast-paced growth has opened the door for professionals who want to be part of something bigger: helping us transform a constantly evolving market. To support this movement, we’re launching Purple Rockets, our talent acceleration program for early-career professionals who already have some hands-on experience.

The program includes tracks focused on intensive learning and work on high-impact projects. If you’re looking for a purpose-driven environment where you can grow and take on meaningful challenges, this could be your next journey.

Program Structure

Launchpad & Ignition

This initial two-month onboarding phase immerses participants fully into Nu’s culture and working environment. It starts with a three-week, intensive, in-person cultural immersion, followed by five weeks of specialized, function-specific training. 

Participants receive personalized mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals, preparing them comprehensively for future challenges.

Orbital mission

This ten-month phase provides substantial hands-on experience, enabling participants to tackle real-world problems across various teams through rotations every three to five months. Regular mentorship from seasoned leaders, combined with structured performance evaluations, ensures continuous learning and development.

Moonwalk

In these final six months, participants take on greater responsibilities and autonomy in their roles. This phase is designed for you to solidify your skills and demonstrate your full potential, and it’s where you’ll prove your progress and demonstrate your mastery, showcasing your readiness to function independently as a key contributor at Purple Rockets.
