About The Position

In healthcare, some of the most powerful tools are the ones that quietly change lives. For decades, home health nurses have been buried in paperwork—spending more than half their time completing forms, instead of caring for patients. This burden drives burnout, shrinks margins, and makes it harder for agencies to thrive under the increasing pressures of Medicare Advantage.
At Apricot, we believe software can—and should—do better. Built by home health experts and seasoned product architects, Apricot is designed to streamline home health documentation with speed, and accuracy, freeing nurses to focus on patients while helping agencies expand their capacity. User experience drives everything we do, and this role plays a key part in ensuring our product decisions are grounded in real user insights.

We are seeking a motivated, early-career IT & Security Operations Specialist to join our growing team. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and learning across multiple technical domains.
In this role, you’ll support day-to-day IT operations of a growing start-up, assist with SOC 2 compliance tracking in Drata, and help keep our internal systems running smoothly.
