About the Role

As a Security Engineer on our Engineering team, you will play a key role in building and scaling secure systems across our product and infrastructure. Youโ€™ll collaborate closely with software engineers, cloud operations, and product teams to embed security into everything we buildโ€”from design and development to deployment and operations. Youโ€™ll help identify risks early, propose pragmatic mitigations, and champion secure practices across the engineering organization.

This is a hands-on, engineering-focused role where your work will directly impact the safety and resilience of the systems our customers rely on every day. This is a fully remote role open to candidates based in Latin America, South America, or the Caribbean.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement security controls and best practices across the software development lifecycle, infrastructure, and deployment pipelines
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to identify, assess, and mitigate security risks in applications, services, and infrastructure
  • Conduct threat modeling, code reviews, and architectural reviews to ensure secure design and implementation of systems
  • Monitor logs and telemetry from cloud systems to detect suspicious activity and support incident response
  • Lead or contribute to security incident investigations, root cause analysis, and postmortems
  • Build and maintain automated tools to detect vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, and cloud infrastructure
  • Champion security improvements in CI/CD pipelines and deployment practices, ensuring secure-by-default environments
  • Partner with DevOps/Cloud Operations to improve secrets management, access controls, and infrastructure hardening
  • Maintain and evolve incident response and disaster recovery plans, ensuring preparedness and resilience
  • Provide mentorship, training, and guidance to engineers on secure coding and architectural patterns
  • Stay current with evolving security threats, tools, and industry trends, and proactively propose improvements to protect systems and data
  • Communicate security risks and trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • All other duties as assigned

Skills & Qualifications

  • Bachelorโ€™s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field preferred
  • 5+ years of experience in a Security Engineer, DevSecOps, or Software Engineering role with security responsibilities
  • Strong understanding of secure software development practices and infrastructure security in cloud-native environments including Kubernetes (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Familiarity with modern web and API security concepts (e.g., OWASP Top 10, authentication, authorization, input validation)
  • Experience with application scanning tools, static/dynamic analysis, and/or container security
  • Proficiency with scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, Go, JavaScript)
  • Preferred certifications include CISSP, OSCP, or relevant cloud security credentials (e.g., Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) )
  • Familiarity with SaaS environments and tools such as Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, and GitHub
  • Acceptable background check
