About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Security Operations Engineer to help protect a hybrid technology environment spanning Microsoft Azure, Windows infrastructure, corporate endpoints, identity systems, and data center infrastructure. This is a mid-level technical role focused on operational security: investigating alerts, protecting endpoints and identities, remediating vulnerabilities, supporting incident response, and partnering closely with Infrastructure and Engineering teams.

What We’re Looking For

  • Fluent English, both written and verbal, with the ability to communicate risks clearly to technical teams.
  • Proven ability to independently prioritize investigations and follow incidents through to resolution in a remote environment.
Bonus Points
  • Experience investigating suspicious logins, MFA, VPN access, and Azure Virtual Desktop security.
  • Experience coordinating or validating actual vulnerability remediation.
  • Experience with Vault (or similar secrets-management platforms), PowerShell scripting, and AWS/Amazon EKS security exposure.

What You’ll Do

  • Incident Response: Monitor, investigate, and triage security events across endpoint, identity, cloud, and infrastructure environments. Own incident response from detection through containment and remediation.
  • Endpoint Security: Operate and maintain endpoint detection and response (EDR) controls using CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender to investigate malware, suspicious processes, and persistence mechanisms.
  • Identity Security: Monitor and investigate suspicious authentication activity, account compromise, privilege escalation, and unauthorized access involving Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory.
  • Cloud Security: Support security operations across Microsoft Azure and hybrid data center environments.
  • Vulnerability Management: Review vulnerability findings, coordinate remediation with system owners, and validate that security controls are operating effectively.

What We Offer

  • Location: Remote - LATAM
  • $65k-$75k/year
