Responsibilities

- Earning the trust of providers, payers, and life sciences partners depends on getting security right, and you will build that foundation.
- Build security into the product: lead secure design and code reviews, harden authentication and authorization, and ship libraries and tooling that make the secure path the easiest one.
- 7+ years in security engineering built on a strong software engineering foundation. You design and implement, not just review.
- A track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals.
- You design and implement, not just review.
Requirements
