The Challenge
At Appmax, security is a core value, not just a department. Our advanced technological maturity has led to the creation of a dedicated Cybersecurity vertical. Previously, our security infrastructure was expertly managed by the SRE team. Your key challenge will be to lead the strategic evolution of this security framework, reporting to technical management while maintaining close alignment with our existing infrastructure.
You will serve as the architect for our next strategic phase, ensuring that financial sector innovation is underpinned by state-of-the-art security. This role demands total synergy with compliance standards (Bacen, PCI) and robust operational resilience.
What You Will Do (Responsibilities)
- Technical Leadership & Strategy: Consolidate Appmax's security vision, defining short, medium, and long-term roadmaps, implementing cutting-edge tools, and establishing governance standards.
- High-Performance DevSecOps: Enhance the integration of security controls throughout the development lifecycle and within CI/CD pipelines.
- Security Engineering: Architect advanced automations, conduct critical code reviews, and administer highly complex AWS environments.
- Vulnerability Management & OffSec: Coordinate Red Teaming/Pentest cycles and manage strategic remediation efforts with engineering teams.
- Governance & Compliance: Ensure our Cloud Native architectures maintain compliance with Bacen (Res. 4893/4945), PCI-DSS, and LGPD standards.
- Incident Response & Forensics: Lead the incident response committee, conducting in-depth analyses and disseminating technical learnings.
- Advocacy & Mentorship: Strengthen our "Security First" culture, serving as a technical expert for developers and SREs.
What We Are Looking For (Requirements)
- Experience in Regulated Environments: Solid professional experience within the financial sector (Fintechs/Banks), specifically dealing with Bacen and RSFN regulations.
- Cloud Proficiency (AWS): Expert command of multi-account AWS environments, including IAM, EKS (Kubernetes), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
- Technical Skill in AppSec: Deep knowledge of OWASP Top 10, experience with code review (Go, PHP, or Python), and expertise in security protocols (OAuth2, JWT, TLS).
- Defensive Vision: Practical experience with WAF, EDR/MDR solutions, and centralized log management (SIEM/Observability).
- Hybrid Leadership & Assertive Communication: Ability to effectively navigate strategic discussions with stakeholders and hands-on command-line operations.
