Latin American payments infrastructure for merchants and financial institutions
Kushki operates a multi-country payments platform across Latin America, built on a polyglot stack (Java, Python, Go, Node.js) deployed on AWS. The company is actively adopting LangChain and OpenAI while building conversational agents for high-volume customer tasks—a signal of shifting from pure infrastructure toward AI-assisted operations. Hiring remains steady across engineering and leadership roles, with active work on merchant onboarding, wallet integrations, and fraud reduction, indicating a shift toward embedded financial services beyond core payments.
