If you thrive under pressure and want to do the most meaningful work of your career, you’ll feel right at home. If you’re looking for something easier –this isn’t it.

The work

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

Also

Own Vulnerability management end-to-end

• Design and run a risk-based vulnerability management program spanning cloud infrastructure, containers, application dependencies, the corporate fleet, and connected devices.
• Prioritize by real-world exploitability and business impact — exploitation, reachability, internet exposure, and data sensitivity — not raw CVSS volume.
• Define remediation SLAs and build the automation that routes findings to the right owner, tracks them to closure, and escalates breaches before they become audit exceptions.
• Own software supply chain security: dependency and package risk, SBOMs, container image hygiene, and guardrails in CI/CD.
• Partner with firmware and hardware teams on vulnerability handling for the Pod, including coordinated disclosure intake and patch rollout.
• Run penetration testing and any bug bounty program — scoping, vendor management, triage, and verified fixes.
• Report vulnerability posture through clear metrics (exposure, SLA adherence, mean time to remediate) suitable for executives, auditors, and the board.
