About the Role

You'll be the software engineer embedded in Parachute Health's IT & Security team, building the internal platforms, automations, and AI-powered workflows that keep our healthcare technology environment secure, compliant, and operationally efficient.

You'll write code that touches on identity, endpoint, network, cloud security, compliance, evidence collection, and incident response in an environment governed by HITRUST, SOC 1, and SOC 2.
Responsibilities

Internal tooling & automation
  • Design, develop, and maintain internal applications and automations that eliminate manual IT/Security work, including provisioning, access reviews, compliance evidence collection, audit preparation, and ticket triage.
  • Develop and maintain integrations across the security and IT stack, including Okta, Zscaler, Splunk/Wazuh, Lacework, Drata, Datadog, AWS, GCP, GitHub, and n8n.
  • Package, deploy, and operate IT/Security tooling using Parachute's standard deployment patterns and observability stack.

AI & agentic workflows
  • Architect agentic AI workflows for IT and Security operations, including automated alert triage, log correlation, root-cause analysis, guided remediation, access-review automation, and audit evidence collection.
  • Build the context layer (MCP servers, retrieval pipelines, and embeddings) that grounds AI agents in Parachute-specific systems, policies, and runbooks.
  • Drive AI adoption across the IT/Security team through pairing, architecture reviews, and reusable skills/plugins/workflows.
  • Build an MCP-based agent that automates audit evidence collection from multiple sources
  • Replace manual access-review workflows with an agentic pipeline

Security
  • Develop, tune, and maintain SOAR/SIEM detections, dashboards, and correlation rules in Splunk/Wazuh.
  • Support threat hunting, incident investigation, pen test, and/or red teaming, and forensic analysis with custom tooling and queries (Redshift, BigQuery, log platforms)
  • Apply MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, and HITRUST CSF to guide detection engineering and control implementation.
  • Contribute to SOC runbooks, SOPs, and automation playbooks (SOAR).

Security audits & reliability
  • Automate compliance evidence collection and control validation across SOC 2, HITRUST CSF, HITRUST AI, and HIPAA.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation for IT/Security incidents; contribute to post-incident reviews and continuous improvement.
  • Maintain stable, performant, and auditable internal application stacks.
Requirements
  • 2+ years of writing production code in a web-based environment.
  • Professional experience withRuby on Rails, and/or Python, and/or JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Node.js).
  • Hands-on experience with AWS (IAM, EC2, ECS/EKS, S3, RDS, Lambda) and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Demonstrated experience integrating with REST/GraphQL APIs and building automations across SaaS platforms.
  • Working knowledge of at least one compliance framework - SOC 2, HITRUST, HIPAA, ISO 27001, or NIST.
  • Security-first mindset: you think about least privilege, secrets handling, PHI exposure, and audit trails by default.
  • Strong fundamentals in data structures, design patterns, and TDD.
  • Must reside in the U.S.
Nice to have
  • Experience building agentic AI systems in production - agent architectures, tool integration via MCP, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation frameworks.
  • Experience setting up AI development environments and driving AI adoption across a technical team.
  • Familiarity with our stack: Okta, ZScaler, Splunk/Wazuh, Lacework, Drata, Datadog, n8n workflows and/or Argo workflows.
  • SIEM detection engineering or SOC tooling experience (Splunk SPL, Wazuh rules, Sigma).
  • Healthcare technology background - exposure to HIPAA, PHI handling, or DME workflows.
  • Security or cloud certifications (CCA-F, CISSP, CCSP, AWS Security Specialty, OSCP).
  • Experience as a technical lead bridging IT, Security, Engineering, and Compliance stakeholders.
  • Proficient in SQL (Redshift, BigQuery) for forensic and operational analytics.
