The Role

You will work very closely with backend, firmware, and data engineers, with R&D and clinical teams, and directly with the Head of Security.

We are looking for an experienced Security Engineer who embraces an AI-first culture to enable them to scale beyond themselves. This is a generalist role with real ownership from day one: various portions of the security program including corporate IT, identity, AI Security, enterprise, and cloud. The ideal candidate has been "the security person" on a small team before - someone who takes whatever comes up, automates the second occurrence of anything, and writes clearly enough that engineers, auditors, and executives can all act on their work.

How you'll contribute

• Google Workspace administration, device management, and the SaaS access lifecycle - onboarding, offboarding, and access reviews that hold up in an audit.
• Keep compliance green with code, remediate failing tests at the infrastructure level, extend Vanta with custom tests, and automate evidence collection.
• Partner with internal teams to find secure solutions to enable them to achieve the company's goals.
• Vulnerability management and endpoint management on the company's corporate fleet.
• Build processes for secure and ethical AI in corporate environments to minimize shadow AI/IT.
• Act as the security team's second brain: triage inbound requests, run security reviews of internal tools, and run point on incidents
• Tackle new security engineering projects.

What you need to succeed

• AI-first mindset. We empower the team with the best tools available to scale beyond themselves
• 4+ years across security and/or IT engineering, including time on a small team where you owned whatever came up
• Experience operating a SIEM (Datadog Cloud SIEM, Panther, Splunk, Elastic, or similar)
• Corporate IT fluency: Google Workspace admin, MDM, identity lifecycle
• Scripting ability (Python or similar)
• Clear security writing and documentation: triage notes, runbooks, and audit evidence that engineers, agents, auditors, and executives can act on

Bonus points for

• Vanta (or Drata) ownership through a real audit cycle for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA
• Experience in a regulated or health-adjacent environment
• Incident response experience beyond tabletop exercises
