Paulinho started his career at Esporte Clube Juventude. He was signed by Livorno on loan in January 2005. He made his Serie A debut on 17 April 2005 against Fiorentina.

In 2007–08 season he left for Serie B side Grosseto[3] and in 2009–10 season left for Sorrento. His loan was extended in July 2010.[4] With Livorno, he won promotion to Serie A in 2009, only a year after the team had been relegated from the same division. Livrono promoted back to Serie A in 2013. However, the club relegated again in 2014.

In 2014 Paulinho was sold to Al-Arabi for €8 million[5][6] (€7.6 million to Livorno[5] and €400,000 as solidarity contribution.)

On 23 August 2017 Paulinho returned to Italy for Cremonese.[7] On 1 February 2019 he was released from his Cremonese contract by mutual consent.[8]
