Job Description

IT & Compliance Specialist overseeing SOC 2 compliance and internal IT operations for AI demo platform. Collaborating with engineering and leadership to maintain and improve security standards.

Responsibilities:

  • Own and maintain the SOC 2 compliance program, including continuous monitoring, audit readiness, evidence collection, and control tracking
  • Administer Vanta as the primary compliance automation platform, it needs work, and cleaning it up is part of the job; you will have CTO time and a part-time consultant to help you navigate it
  • Conduct regular access reviews across all systems and ensure documentation is complete and accurate
  • Facilitate tabletop exercises, scenario-based drills covering events like AWS regional outages, cyber incidents, or availability failures, planning, running, and capturing outcomes
  • Manage vendor relationships: own the Vanta contract, pentester engagements, and third-party security assessments
  • Develop, maintain, and improve information security policies, procedures, and documentation
  • Take ownership of corporate device management across a mixed fleet of macOS, Linux, and Windows machines
  • Implement centralized MDM controls: encryption, anti-malware, endpoint detection, and remote management across all corporate devices
  • Establish and enforce a BYOD policy for employees and contractors who use personal hardware for work
  • Ensure every device is properly enrolled and meets compliance requirements before an employee is operational on day one
  • Build repeatable onboarding and offboarding processes so access and device controls are never an afterthought
  • Maintain security hygiene in AWS: IAM roles, Identity Center, GuardDuty, AWS Config, and access reviews
  • Identify and remediate overly permissive roles, stale credentials, and misconfigured controls
  • Collaborate with engineers to resolve vulnerabilities and apply patches, you will need strong working relationships with the technical team in Caxias do Sul
  • Support cloud-related evidence collection for SOC 2 controls
  • Own IT onboarding and offboarding: provisioning, deprovisioning, and access controls so nothing falls through the cracks
  • Manage access across Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, Rippling, AWS Identity Center, and other core tools
  • Serve as the primary internal IT resource and respond to urgent issues as they arise

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in IT, Security, Compliance, or related roles within a SaaS company, startup, or high-growth technology environment
  • Proven hands-on experience managing SOC 2 Type I and/or Type II compliance programs
  • Direct experience with Vanta, not just compliance platforms in general, but specifically Vanta, including interpreting findings and driving remediation
  • Experience managing devices across macOS, Linux, and Windows using MDM solutions such as JumpCloud, Jamf, Kandji, or similar
  • Working knowledge of AWS security and governance: IAM, Identity Center, GuardDuty, AWS Config, and access best practices
  • Strong understanding of identity and access management, MFA, encryption, endpoint security, and audit controls
  • Detail-oriented to a fault, if a control is slightly incomplete or an access review has a gap, you catch it before the auditor does
  • Professional English communication skills (C1 or higher) for daily collaboration with the US-based CTO and leadership team
  • Execution-focused and detail-oriented, the CTO and a part-time the consultant will support you, but the day-to-day compliance work needs someone who follows through completely, not someone who needs the work defined for them every step
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment where you are the only person whose main job is compliance.

Benefits:

  • Equity package
  • Flexible PTO policy
  • Mental health benefits
  • Fitness allowance
  • Learning and professional development budget
  • Home office and workspace allowance
