Our mission is to revolutionize people’s lives through work, individually improving their world and our ecosystem. In 2019, 2020, and 2021, we received the award for being one of the best B2B development companies in Latin America by Clutch and we are ranked number 10 on the list of companies in Argentina by The Manifest. We are also verified as a service provider in Latin America by the Inter-American Development Bank (BID) and we are partners with CUTI. We value people who are collaborative, curious, results-driven, and take ownership.

Role Overview We are looking for an Cyber Security Engineer for a 6-month contract to lead and optimize our security infrastructure, with a strong focus on advanced endpoint protection, automation, and operational support for our SOC. This role requires end-to-end ownership of our endpoint security tooling, from policy engineering and implementation to API development and performance troubleshooting. We are not looking for a profile oriented solely to monitoring or passive administration. We are looking for an individual with technical acumen, autonomy, and a real capability to transform manual security workflows into automated, highly efficient processes while ensuring zero disruption to our environments. What we expect from the role: Real ownership of the endpoint security domain, without depending on constant validation to advance day-to-day. Deep understanding of how to engineer and manage complex endpoint security solutions at scale. Ability to interact with APIs to automate repetitive security tasks. Criteria to balance strict security policies with system performance. Key Responsibilities Lead endpoint security engineering functions across global environments, ensuring robust monitoring and protection capability. Provide advanced Carbon Black support , leveraging API engineering to enhance, optimize, and automate security processes and workflows. Drive Cortex XDR and XSIAM support , actively participating in policy review and delivering critical implementation support for the SOC during the XSIAM migration and rollout. Investigate and resolve potential performance concerns and resource conflicts related to security agents across diverse operating systems. Design and execute deployment strategies for security agents, ensuring seamless upgrades and maximum coverage across all corporate endpoints. Understand actual infrastructure pain points and translate them into concrete security configurations, avoiding generic or excessively broad policy approaches. Keep security documentation and playbooks updated and organized, providing real visibility into rule configurations, exceptions, and agent health status. Collaborate with core infrastructure teams, SOC, and IT support to define the right approach for agent rollouts, incident investigation, and policy tuning. Requirements Must Have: 4+ years of experience in dedicated Endpoint Security Engineering or Infrastructure Security roles. Proven experience providing advanced support for Carbon Black , including API work for automation . Hands-on experience with Cortex XDR (and ideally XSIAM ) supporting policy review and SOC implementation. Strong experience troubleshooting complex performance and resource concerns caused by security agents. Experience participating in the definition of security baselines, policy exemptions, and agent deployment strategies. Advanced English level. Nice to Have: Experience migrating from legacy EDR tools to next-gen XDR/XSIAM architectures. What We Offer 6-month contract role with competitive salaries throughout LATAM (USD). 100% Remote work across LATAM. Opportunity to join a collaborative and fast-growing global team. Daily interaction and close collaboration with international teams, including the US. A role with high visibility and ownership, where your work directly impacts the business's security posture.
