Frontera Health•Denver, CO

1d•Remote

About The Position

Frontera is reimagining how children with autism and other behavioral health needs get the care they deserve. We bring together world-class clinicians, technologists, and autism specialists to build cutting-edge AI tools that help care teams work smarter and spend more time with the children and families who need them most. Our platform is HIPAA-compliant and designed for the real-world needs of behavioral health teams - from psychologists to ABA therapists. By combining evidence-based care with powerful technology, we’re expanding access to high-quality services for families everywhere. Our Mission Frontera exists to close the care gap: every child, no matter where they live, should be able to access effective behavioral healthcare. Role Overview Frontera is hiring a Head of Information Security/Compliance to own our cloud security posture and compliance program as we scale. This isn't a compliance-generalist seat that partners with engineering from the outside - we need someone with real cloud security depth who can operate inside our AWS infrastructure, hold SOC 2 audits, and be the senior security voice both internally and in front of customers and boards. As we sell into healthcare and enterprise, this role is central to Frontera being trusted with sensitive data at scale.

Requirements

8-12 years of security/compliance experience, including hands-on work running SOC 2 audits against AWS cloud infrastructure — not managed a team that did, or partnered with engineering from a compliance-manager seat
Hands-on IAM architecture experience
Cloud security certification(s)
Has sat on security reviews directly with prospects or customers, and can speak to how those conversations went
Enterprise fluency — comfortable being the senior security presence in front of customers, partners, and boards

Nice To Haves

Healthcare or regulated-industry background
Fractional CISO experience at a digital health company, especially if you're looking to move in-house
Security leadership at a Series B-D health tech company
An engineering background that grew into compliance ownership, with strong infrastructure or platform depth

Responsibilities

Own Frontera's cloud security architecture and posture on AWS, including IAM design
Run and own SOC 2 audits against our AWS infrastructure — not just coordinate them, but do the hands-on work
Build and mature Frontera's compliance program as we scale into enterprise and healthcare customers
Serve as the senior security voice in customer and prospect conversations — sitting on security reviews with prospects and customers, not just internal audits
Present security and compliance posture to customers, partners, and the board
Partner with Engineering to embed security into how we build, without becoming a bottleneck
Build the security and compliance function from the ground up: policy, process, and tooling
