This role owns the execution side — the controls, automation, and code that actually reduce risk — with a lot of latitude to decide what matters and ship it. A separate compliance team owns policy and audit; you build the things that make us safer.<br><br>This role reports to VP of Engineering and can be based anywhere in the continental US. </p> <h3><strong>What you'll do</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Own security problems end to end: navigate ambiguity to decide what matters, build it, ship it independently.</li> <li>Find the real risks and build the most direct controls that take them off the table.</li> <li>Build secure-by-default libraries, guardrails, and tooling so dozens of engineers can move fast without footguns.</li> <li>Define and implement strict least-privilege guardrails across all services to safeguard sensitive patient information and health metrics.</li> <li>Harden developer machines to minimize the risk of supply chain attacks and Whatever Comes Next from AI.</li> <li>Partner with compliance to turn control objectives into real controls, and help focus effort on the requirements that genuinely reduce risk and unlock new commercial opportunities (HITRUST, health plan requirements, etc.).</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Who you are</strong></h3> <ul> <li>You have a strong track record of making organizations measurably safer.
