The Job at a Glance

You will securely and scalably operate systems which move hundreds of millions of benefit dollars through our retail partners. These benefit dollars serve millions of Americans, most of whom are older, lower-income, or both. You will make it easy for colleagues to safely and quickly get their software through lower environments and to production all the while keeping those environments running tip-top. Because the internet is a dangerous neighborhood, you anticipate and model threats, calculate risks, and introduce countermeasures in the stack and in the codebase; and because software is a team sport, you are a strong advocate and coach of others, training and influencing them to do it right. Your work is highly automated and expressed in code anywhere it’s feasible to do so. You’re dev, you’re sec, you’re ops and you teach others to become the calvary.

What You Will Do

Working within an organization created at the intersection of health care, retail and financial technology, no two days will look the same. Typical responsibilities of the role include:

• The software must be secure: you will perform security feature reviews, own our automated security tooling, and provide visibility to all of it via reporting. You will run and coordinate pen tests. You will run our security advocacy program which guides our software engineers on the golden path.
• The operational environment must be secure too: here’s where we talk about vulnerability management, network architecture, intrusion detection and prevention, lateral movement impediments, application isolation, and so on. You’ll route all the juicy events to our SIEM.
• The operational environment must be stable: you will ensure our computing environments are fast and available, in the face of exponential growth and extremely spiky workloads during benefit reload windows.
• The software must flow: our pipeline and automated testing give us the confidence to release to production 4x daily, fully automated on a cron during work hours. You will make this process ever faster and smoother.
• Making this a career highlight for all engineers. Guardrails help you drive fast; no engineer wants to introduce a bug; no one wants to get paged at 3am. You balance kindness and empathy with a burning desire to do things right; you create an environment which is inherently safe and fast, and you give colleagues the ability to thrive within it.

About You

While every candidate brings a unique resume and prospective, an ideal candidate will include:

• 7+ years at a senior level, overlapping in software engineering, application security, cloud/infrastructure/network security, and infrastructure operations. You must have hands-on experience in dev, sec, and ops. You must be able to work independently; you are the expert.
• Experience in a B2B2C SaaS is a plus, as is experience in a regulated environment. You will keep us compliant with HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 2, HITRUST, PCI, and more. Healthcare and payments chops would differentiate a strong candidate.
• A background in scaling environments which manage lots of money for lots of people, and which are constantly under attack, and constantly changing.
• Technical chops on the shell, Python, Go, Terraform, Kubernetes, and a cloud provider, ideally GCP.
• Ability to influence others, achieving goals without being The Security Police.
• Commitment to building a diverse culture that is highly collaborative, strives to set and achieve goals together and embraces transparency, innovation and accountability.
• A clear passion for, if not experience in, addressing health inequities.
• Bachelor’s degree or similar experience strongly preferred.
