About The Position

Cherry is a profitable, high-growth fintech ($500M+ revenue, ~3x YoY) building the financial infrastructure for healthcare providers. Security is core to our product, not a support function. We are looking for strong leaders that will help us scale Cherry to be the go-to financial partner for every doctor in the country. We’re hiring a Head / Director of Security to build and own Cherry’s security function, including hiring and scaling a high-impact team. This is a deeply technical, hands-on role as the company scales. Cherry is at an exciting inflection point, evolving from a single-product company into a multi-product platform providing a suite of financial tools for medical practices. As part of this growth, we’re scaling the engineering team by nearly 80 people. We value simplicity and focus when building platforms, which helps us execute quickly while holding a high bar for quality and craft as we scale, especially in an AI-first world. You’ll report directly to the VP of Engineering and partner closely with engineering leadership on architecture, risk, and execution.
