Why Join dLocal?

dLocal is the financial infrastructure powering global commerce in the world's fastest-growing markets. The biggest companies in the world trust us to unlock growth in 60+ countries across emerging markets—moving money where others see complexity. We don't just process payments; we are architects of payment ecosystems and partners in our customers' expansion. You'll work alongside 1,300+ teammates from 40+ nationalities and tackle global challenges from day one.

About Us & The Role

We are not building a traditional, bureaucratic identity and access management function. We are building a modern, highly automated identity security program—and we need a sharp, relentless operator to build it.

Identity is the new perimeter, and managing how our global workforce accesses enterprise systems is one of our highest priorities. We are looking for a Principal Security Engineer – Identity & Access to help drive our identity evolution alongside our existing senior engineering team. You will be walking into a rapidly evolving ecosystem that has outgrown its early identity frameworks. Your mandate is to take that complex web of legacy entitlements and build a highly scalable, automated identity governance machine.

This is not an "ivory tower" strategy role. We do not need someone to draw Visio diagrams and hand them off to junior admins. We need a pragmatic, high-agency builder who helps design the strategy but has the zero-ego grit to execute it with their own hands.

What You'll Do

What You Bring

Nice to Have

Your Cross-Functional Surface Area

You will align with Detection & Response teams to improve identity threat visibility and automated containment, and you will collaborate heavily with HR and Enterprise Applications to ensure identity data flows securely from the ultimate source of truth.
