About The Position

We are looking for a Security Lead to own Trovo’s security program end-to-end, spanning cloud and infrastructure security, application security, compliance readiness, access management, and incident response. This is a strategic, hands-on role: you’ll partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Operations to embed security into how we design, build, and operate our platform, and you’ll be a client-facing leader who can confidently support security reviews, questionnaires, and audits with healthcare partners.

Requirements

• Technical security depth: 6-8+ years of engineering experience, with 2+ years focused on security engineering and shipping security improvements in production.
• Cloud & appsec foundation: Hands-on expertise with AWS security, network security, container/orchestration security, and secure SDLC practices.
• Compliance experience: Familiarity supporting SOC 2, HIPAA, or similar frameworks from a technical security standpoint.
• Automation mindset: Proficiency scripting/automating (Python, Bash, etc.) and comfort embedding security controls into CI/CD.
• Strong communication & ownership: The ability to influence engineering decisions and communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders (including customers).
• NYC-based: You are based in New York and excited to be in-office ~3 days per week.

Responsibilities

• Own the security roadmap: Define and execute Trovo’s security strategy and priorities as we scale in a highly regulated environment.
• Secure the platform: Architect and implement secure cloud infrastructure (AWS), logging/monitoring, IAM, vulnerability management, and secure SDLC practices.
• Drive compliance readiness: Lead technical execution for SOC 2, HIPAA, and related frameworks, building scalable controls, evidence collection, and audit readiness.
• Run incident response: Own detection/response tooling, runbooks, on-call readiness, and post-incident learning to continuously improve resilience.
• Be cross-functional and client-facing: Build relationships with cross-functional stakeholders and represent Trovo in customer security conversations.
