About Us & The Role
We're not building a traditional security team. We are a lean, forward-thinking organization that rapidly adopts the latest disruptive innovations to stay ahead of the curve. We believe the future of defense is smart, efficient, and scaled, and we're leveraging AI agents and modern platforms to build it (e.g., AI-assisted policy checks, drift correlation, and AI-driven correlation of posture, CI/CD).We are looking for a hands-on builder and executor who lives and breathes "secure-by-default" infrastructure. This isn't just a compliance or audit role; it's a "full-stack" security engineering position focused on prevention.
You'll be an architect, an engineer, and a key enabler, codifying security into every part of our cloud and CI/CD lifecycle.In our environment, a small, senior team means massive impact. You won't just write policies—you'll codify them as automated guardrails, design the hardened platforms our services run on, and build the "paved road" that makes security the easiest and fastest path for all our engineers. You’ll partner closely with dLocal’s Cloud Platform/SRE teams to deliver shared guardrails and ‘paved road’ services, not day-to-day platform operations. This role is focused on prevention and platform engineering.
