Staff Security Engineer

What you'll do

• Own security problems end to end: navigate ambiguity to decide what matters, build it, ship it independently.
• Find the real risks and build the most direct controls that take them off the table.
• Build secure-by-default libraries, guardrails, and tooling so dozens of engineers can move fast without footguns.
• Define and implement strict least-privilege guardrails across all services to safeguard sensitive patient information and health metrics.
• Harden developer machines to minimize the risk of supply chain attacks and Whatever Comes Next from AI.
• 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.).

Who you are

• Strong track record of making organizations measurably safer through risks closed, not tickets opened.
• Can tell signal from noise, and spend time on the risks that actually move the needle.
• Builder first: 7+ years of software engineering with production-grade code (Kotlin, Java, Python, Go, C# or similar).
• Real security depth — threat modeling, identity and auth flows, the OWASP Top 10, cloud and supply-chain security.
• Instinct is to understand the actual threat and build the most direct fix — not to go shopping for a product that claims to handle it.
• Looking for room to own more over time — and the type to take it, not wait for it.

Nice-to-haves

• Built in healthcare and understand HIPAA and HITRUST — and how to satisfy them without drowning engineering in process.

• Built internal developer platforms or secure-by-default tooling that other engineers actually adopted.
• Worked in a fast-paced, product-oriented startup.
