About the role

What you'll do

* Build and improve SIEM detection rules, alert pipelines, and automated response playbooks (Datadog SIEM, CrowdStrike, Cloudflare)

* Contribute to incident response readiness, including IR playbooks, tabletop exercises, and forensic procedures

* Support DLP strategy and data protection controls across Google Workspace, Slack, and internal tooling

* Conduct cloud security assessments across AWS and Kubernetes environments

* Drive application security initiatives: threat modelling, secure code review support, API testing, and security pipeline improvements

* Assess and secure AI/agentic workflows across the company — reviewing prompts, preventing destructive actions, and controlling data exposure

* Establish and run the vendor security assessment process — building a scalable due diligence framework for third-party onboarding

What you'll need

* 4–7 years in cyber security, ideally having built or significantly shaped the security function at a startup or high-growth company - you've been the person who sets things up, not just maintains them

* 2+ years at a regulated fintech/bank/payment company

* Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure security (AWS, Kubernetes)

* Working knowledge of SIEM platforms and detection engineering - you've written detection rules, not just consumed alerts

* Familiarity with application security practices: threat modelling, secure code review, CI/CD pipeline hardening, and API security testing

* Experience with endpoint security tooling (EDR/XDR) and identity & access management in a SaaS-heavy environment (Google Workspace, Okta/Cloudflare Access, SSO/SCIM)

* Ability to assess and secure emerging AI/agentic tooling - you understand the risks of LLM integrations, MCP servers, and automated workflows, and can define practical guardrails

* Experience running or contributing to vendor security assessments and third-party due diligence

* Strong written and verbal communication

* Business fluent in English

Benefits

* Competitive salary and benefits

* Stock options, so you own part of what you build

* Discretionary performance bonus

* The latest tools and technology

* A world-class team that will challenge and grow your skills

* The opportunity to help build the best fintech app in Latin America

* Office Policy: 3-4 days a week in-office
