Dlocal, a cross-border payments platform headquartered in Uruguay, employs approximately 354 people across the globe. Recent staffing data shows the company added 109 employees, equal to about one-third of its current workforce, while 62 employees departed during the same period. This net expansion underscores the organisation’s ongoing investment in talent as it scales its payment solutions for emerging markets.
Engineering is the largest team at Dlocal, accounting for roughly 23% of all employees with 81 professionals focused on product development and technical infrastructure. Sales and Support follow closely with 75 employees, reflecting the company’s need to manage merchant relationships and customer inquiries. Finance and Administration (50 employees) and Business Management (36 employees) provide operational backbone, while Marketing and Product (35 employees) drive market positioning and feature planning. Operations, Risk & Compliance, and an assorted ‘Other’ category collectively represent just under one-quarter of the workforce, illustrating a balanced functional spread across the organisation.
Dlocal maintains a distributed workforce: about 64% of employees are classified under ‘Other’, indicating a strong remote or flexible-location culture. The largest physical hub is Montevideo with 31 employees, followed by São Paulo (29) and Madrid (17). Additional clusters are present in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Lagos, Cape Town, London, and Singapore, none of which individually exceed 9% of total staff. This geographic pattern suggests that Dlocal places emphasis on proximity to key emerging markets while retaining the agility of a largely dispersed team.
