What do Security Engineers do?

Security Engineers protect the systems and data your product depends on — finding vulnerabilities before attackers do and building the controls that keep them out. They work across cloud, code, and infrastructure: threat modeling, secure pipelines, and incident response that holds up under real pressure. As LLM features become part of the attack surface, they now secure AI systems too — prompt injection, model, and data risks.

Core responsibilities

  • Run threat modeling, risk assessments, and penetration testing
  • Build security controls into cloud and CI/CD pipelines
  • Monitor, detect, and respond to incidents
  • Secure AI systems against prompt injection and model risks
  • Partner with engineering to ship secure by default

Not your traditional staff aug.

Security Engineers in your time zone

Our talent works across Latin America — Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, and beyond — on US business hours. Most of the region sits within a few hours of US Eastern time, so you get a full workday of overlap: standups, pairing, and code review happen in real time, not overnight.

And they communicate like teammates, not vendors — fluent, professional English and a startup-ready working style.
