Security Engineer

The Security Engineer role supports RVO Health’s Security team by strengthening the organization’s security posture and safeguarding sensitive data in a cloud-native environment. This position focuses on building security controls, integrating security into CI/CD workflows, and supporting incident response and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain security controls and architectures to protect cloud infrastructure, applications, and data from cyber threats.
• Strengthen cloud security posture and vulnerability management, including pull-request scanning, triage and tracking of findings through closure with engineering teams, and coverage and license optimization.
• Develop and enforce software supply chain controls across the developer toolchain, including package, dependency, and extension guardrails, with enforcement thresholds tuned to reduce noise.
• Extend security into CI/CD pipelines, including governance of AI-authored code at the pipeline chokepoint.
• Build security automation, internal tooling, and integrations against the developer platform and security stack so security controls are self-service rather than ticket-driven.
• Partner with Platform and Software Engineering teams to provide visibility and awareness of security issues and collaboratively prioritize remediation.
• Conduct security assessments such as code reviews and application security testing to identify and mitigate risk in new and changing systems.
• Participate in a weekly on-call rotation for managed detection and response escalations, investigating potential threats, responding to incidents, and performing root cause analysis.
• Develop and maintain security standard operating procedures and policies aligned with industry best practices and regulatory requirements, including HIPAA and NIST CSF.
• Stay current on application and infrastructure vulnerability tactics, techniques, and procedures, with emphasis on the healthcare space, and adapt strategy or tooling to address emerging threats.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, related field, or equivalent experience.
• Minimum 4+ years of experience in application security, cloud security, or a related cybersecurity role.
• Solid understanding of cloud security principles, architectures, and services (AWS or Azure preferred).
• Hands-on experience with cloud security posture management or CNAPP tooling (examples: Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud), including driving vulnerability findings to closure with engineering teams.
• Experience building security automation, tooling, and integrations, with working proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language.
• Working knowledge of secure coding practices.
• Knowledge of security frameworks, standards, and regulations (examples: NIST CSF, HIPAA, MITRE ATT&CK).
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to make sound, critical decisions.
• Experience in incident response and recovery.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional certifications (examples: CISSP, CCSP, OSCP, GIAC).
• Expertise in AWS security controls, monitoring, and orchestration (examples: SCPs, GuardDuty, Config, Macie).
• Working familiarity with Terraform, GitHub, and DevSecOps workflows, particularly securing GitHub Actions and other CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience securing AI- or LLM-assisted development workflows, including reviewing AI-generated code at scale.
• Experience with internal developer platforms or portals (example: Backstage).
• Experience working alongside an MDR or managed SOC provider.
