About Us & The Role dLocal processes billions in payments across 40 emerging markets. The infrastructure behind that runs fast, runs globally, and runs on engineering teams that do not have patience for security that slows things down. Neither do we. Our security function is lean by design and automation-native by philosophy. We have built a modern stack, a senior team, and a culture where security engineers are expected to think like builders, not gatekeepers. The CISO's mandate is simple: safely accelerate the business. Everything we build is oriented around that. This role is the technical backbone of our defensive infrastructure layer. You will own the detection, defensive security platforms and cloud security engineering that every other security team depends on. You will work across a wide ecosystem: Cyber Detection & Response, Cloud & Platform Security, Application Security, Offensive Security, IAM, and our Security Automation & AI team internally, and Cloud Platforms, SRE, DevOps, Network, and CI/CD teams on the engineering side. That cross-functional surface area is intentional. This is not a role where you sit inside a tool and tune rules. You will be the person who connects posture signals to response workflows, translates every security requirement into engineering backlogs and builds the infrastructure that makes the rest of the security organization measurably faster. If your instinct when you see a manual process is to automate it before the week is out and you get genuinely energized by owning hard infrastructure problems end to end, this is built for you.
