Head of Security Engineering

You will be the first dedicated security leader at Candid Health. You won’t just be managing a checklist; you will be building the team and systems that protect our customers and their patients. You will partner closely with our Engineering and Product leadership to ensure that we move fast without breaking our promise of data integrity.

• →

• You have 10+ years of experience in security engineering, with a proven track record of building and leading teams that own complex matrices of technical surface area in startup and scaled environments.

• Your expertise isn't just theoretical. You’ve had the hard conversations and driven the outcomes at an organizational scope, especially when it comes to the rituals and routines of security compliance.

• With strong knowledge of HIPAA, you're no stranger to the delicate information we handle.

• You are adaptable and flexible, always ready to engage with security challenges at both enterprise and customer levels.

• You know when to get your hands dirty and when to delegate. You possess the ability to read, understand, and audit systems, networks, and IT setups to ensure airtight security. That, combined with a keen sense for when to handoff ownership to someone with depth in the spaces that your breadth doesn’t cover makes you an effective engineering leader.

We spend at least as much time with our coworkers as we do with our closest friends + family - if we intend to do the most important + challenging work of our lives, it’s important that these folks energize us, support us, inspire us, and push us to do our best work. This is what you can expect of your teammates at Candid (in no particular order):

• We put our customers first

• We take care of each other and ourselves

• We anchor on outcomes and work relentlessly and creatively to achieve them

• We collectively prioritize building a diverse and inclusive workspace

• We believe humility is our greatest strength

• We are candid, kind, and committed

• We strive to be the most prepared person in the room

• We are truth seekers
