Kayzer made his first team – and Série A – debut for Vasco on 16 September 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Serginho in a 2–2 away draw against Cruzeiro. He only appeared in two further matches during the campaign, both as a substitute.

Kayzer returned to Raposa for the 2019 season; initially assigned to the first team, he was rarely used and subsequently moved out on loan to Ponte Preta. A subsequent loan move to Chapecoense followed, where he featured sparingly as the club suffered relegation.

Atlético Goianiense
On 29 December 2019, Kayzer returned to Atlético Goianiense, also on loan, with the side now in the top tier.
