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. You’ll collaborate closely with software engineers, cloud operations, and product teams to embed security into everything we build—from design and development to deployment and operations. You’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.

- Review code and designs for security risks, providing actionable feedback to peers
- Implement tools and processes to detect and prevent vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, and infrastructure
- Partner with product and engineering teams to design secure features and functionality from the start
- Collaborate with DevOps/Cloud Operations to improve CI/CD pipelines, secrets management, and infrastructure hardening (bonus if you can contribute directly)
- Assess CVEs and security vulnerabilities in Java applications and dependencies, identifying appropriate mitigation strategies
- Stay up to date on secure coding techniques, emerging threats, and Java ecosystem security tools
- Share knowledge and mentor teammates on secure development practices
- Communicate risks, trade-offs, and solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences
- All other duties as assigned

- Experience with static/dynamic analysis tools and/or container security
- Bonus: experience with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure security
