DevSecOps Engineer- Latin America- Remote

Azumo is looking for a highly technical and hands-on DevSecOps Engineer / Security Solutions Lead to own and strengthen the security posture of our platform, infrastructure, and AI-driven systems.

This is a proactive, operationally-focused role—not just policy work. You will actively secure systems, remediate vulnerabilities, and collaborate across engineering and compliance to ensure continuous resilience. Working in a remote-first, high-trust engineering culture, you will join us as we scale rapidly following our Series A funding to power the future of modern financial infrastructure.

Location: Remote Latin America

In this role, you will secure and improve the systems that power our FinTech ecosystem while also serving as a key representative of our security program during customer and partner due diligence processes.

Key Responsibilities

Security Engineering & System Hardening

● Secure and harden cloud infrastructure, applications, APIs, internal systems, and operational workflows. · Implement and maintain security controls across production environments, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and internal tooling.

● Work directly with engineering teams to remediate vulnerabilities and improve secure development practices.

● Ensure encryption, secrets management, logging, monitoring, and access controls are properly implemented and continuously maintained.

● Design and improve security architecture across cloud-native and distributed systems. · Build scalable security processes that integrate directly into engineering and operational workflows.

Vulnerability Management & Offensive Security

● Continuously identify, assess, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities across infrastructure, applications, APIs, and operational systems.

● Proactively search for weaknesses through vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, adversarial testing, threat modeling, manual security reviews

● Coordinate remediation efforts across engineering and operations teams. · Validate fixes and ensure long-term mitigation strategies are implemented.

● Improve detection and prevention capabilities for emerging threats.

● Help establish a culture of continuous security improvement and operational accountability.

AI Security & Emerging Threat Protection

● Secure AI-driven systems and automated agents against emerging threats including prompt injection, adversarial inputs, unauthorized or unintended actions, unsafe outputs, data leakage and exposure risks.

● Design and implement guardrails and validation layers for AI-generated actions.

● Ensure AI systems safely handle untrusted inputs from IVRs, web systems, APIs, and human interactions.

● Monitor AI system behavior for anomalies, abuse attempts, or unsafe decision-making.

● Partner with engineering teams to ensure AI systems are observable, auditable, bounded, and fail safely.

● Help define operational and technical controls for responsible AI deployment.

Monitoring, Detection & Incident Response

● Improve and maintain security monitoring, alerting, logging, and incident response capabilities.

● Investigate suspicious activity, anomalies, and potential security incidents.

● Lead or support incident response efforts, root cause analysis, and remediation planning.

● Ensure operational visibility into system health, access patterns, and security events.

● Recommend and implement preventative measures following incidents or security discoveries.

Compliance, Audit & Risk Management

● Collaborate closely with Compliance and Operations teams to ensure security controls meet SOC 2 requirements, PCI DSS requirements, Financial and consumer data security regulations.

● Assist with audit preparation, evidence collection, security documentation, and control validation.

● Help operationalize security controls so compliance is continuously maintained—not just audit-driven.

● Participate in risk assessments, control reviews, and remediation planning.

● Ensure systems handling sensitive financial and consumer data align with regulatory and internal security requirements.

Customer & Partner Security Engagement

● Participate directly in customer and partner due diligence processes.

● Answer technical security questions from enterprise customers, banks and financial institutions, prospects and partners, auditors and third-party assessors

● Support and complete security questionnaires, RFPs, vendor risk assessments

● Clearly communicate security architecture, operational controls, monitoring capabilities, and security practices.

● Help build trust with prospects and accelerate enterprise partnerships through strong security leadership and communication.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

● Work closely with Engineering, Product, Compliance, Operations, and Leadership teams to improve overall security posture.

● Contribute to architecture reviews, security planning, engineering roadmaps, and operational processes.

● Help embed security-first thinking into engineering and operational culture.

● Partner with teams to balance security, reliability, scalability, and business velocity.
