Position Overview

RecargaPay is looking for a Cyber Security Specialist to be a hands-on technical practitioner within our CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team). This person will own the detection, response, and containment of security incidents across our payments platform — executing the full incident lifecycle, building detection logic, and driving automation to shrink response time in a cloud-native, high-volume transactional environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the full incident response lifecycle end-to-end: detection, triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-mortem.
• Develop and maintain playbooks, runbooks, and response procedures that keep response sharp and repeatable.
• Build and maintain detection and response automations (SOAR) to orchestrate workflows across tools and reduce manual toil.
• Operate and continuously tune the detection stack on Elastic (Elasticsearch/Kibana): queries, dashboards, alerts, and event correlation.
• Maintain the Elastic infrastructure on Linux.
• Manage endpoint detection and response via CrowdStrike (EDR), including proactive threat hunting and containment actions.
• Investigate and respond to incidents in AWS (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, IAM, VPC, and related services).
• Produce incident reports and MTTD/MTTR metrics that give leadership clear visibility into the security posture.
• Collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, and compliance teams to remediate vulnerabilities and reduce the attack surface.

Requirements

Technical Skills

• Solid hands-on experience in security incident response in complex, high-volume environments.
• Strong command of Elasticsearch/Elastic Stack for detection, threat hunting, and alert creation. Experience with AWS security — native security services and cloud log investigation.
• Hands-on experience with CrowdStrike or an equivalent EDR. Workflow automation and orchestration using a SOAR or automation platform.
• Strong Linux proficiency (administration and hardening). Knowledge of BTT (Boitatá), Apura's threat intelligence tool. Experience with mTLS certificate lifecycle management and AWS ACM (Certificate Manager).
• Fluency with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST IR, and standard incident taxonomies.

Soft Skills

• Technical depth: owns a complex domain (CSIRT tooling and detection engineering) and drives improvements without needing direction. Independent judgment under pressure: makes sound containment decisions in fast-moving incidents with incomplete information.
• Cross-functional influence: translates security findings into clear, actionable guidance for engineering and infrastructure partners.
• Documentation discipline: keeps playbooks, runbooks, and post-mortems current so the team can operate without heroics.
• Continuous improvement mindset: proactively identifies detection gaps and proposes measurable improvements to MTTD/MTTR.

Nice to Have

• Background in financial services, fintech, or other high-volume transactional environments.
• Scripting (Python / Bash) for automation and tool integration.
• Certifications such as GCIH, GCIA, GCFA, OSCP, or equivalent. Experience with compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, LGPD).

Benefits

• Competitive and market-aligned salary.
• Remote work — wherever you are, you’re part of the team!
• Home office allowance through a monthly deposit in the RecargaPay app.
• Health and dental plans with no co-pay.
• Life insurance.
• Flexible meal allowance (via Flash).
• TotalPass membership to take care of your health.
