Security Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• A builder, not just an auditor. You've built or run a security program inside a product company, not just assessed one from the outside. You can point to systems, controls, and habits you put in place that made a real difference.
• A technical peer to engineers. You read code, read Terraform, and talk to developers in their language. When you flag a vulnerability, you can explain the fix, not just the finding.
• A pragmatist. You understand that we need to ship. You weigh tradeoffs, probability, and impact, not by saying no to everything.
• A strong writer. Remote work demands it, and clear writing is clear thinking. You'll write policies, incident reports, audit narratives, and messages to engineers explaining why something matters. Clarity counts.
• An AI-aware security thinker. You're already wrestling with what AI means for security: new attack surfaces, new tooling, new ways that development workflows create risk.
• 5+ years in application security, infrastructure security, or security engineering at a SaaS company
• Hands-on experience with AWS security (IAM, VPC, Security Groups, KMS, CloudTrail, GuardDuty)
• Experience owning or heavily contributing to the engineering side of SOC 2 Type II compliance
• Familiarity with container security (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
• Solid grasp of web application security fundamentals (OWASP Top 10, secure SDLC)
• Experience securing AI/ML systems or LLM-powered products
• Concrete examples of how you've used AI to improve your own security work: automating compliance tasks, speeding up threat analysis, building detection rules faster, or something we haven't thought of
• Able to work remotely from the Eastern, Central, or Mountain time zones
• Qualified to work in the United States or Canada

Nice To Haves

• Experience building or maintaining HIPAA-compliant or HITRUST-certified environments
• CISSP, OSCP, or AWS Security Specialty certification
• Background in penetration testing or red team work

Responsibilities

• Own AxisCare Engineering's security program as an individual contributor. Continually improve our security standards as threats evolve, strengthen the systems that enforce them, and work directly with engineers to close gaps.
• Own engineering's share of SOC 2 Type II compliance: control design, evidence collection, audit prep, and gap remediation. Chart the path toward HITRUST certification, mapping what we already have and building what we don't.
• Threat-model our application and infrastructure. We run a PHP/React modular monolith on AWS, managed with Terraform, deployed in Docker containers, backed by MySQL in RDS. Raise the bar on this stack's security (IAM policies, VPC design, secrets management, container security, database access controls) and keep raising it as the architecture evolves.
• Own and improve our security scanning program. Tune findings, cut false positives, and make sure scan results turn into developer action.
• Assess and mitigate the security risks inherent in our AI products: prompt injection, data leakage, model output filtering, abuse scenarios. Set guardrails for AI-assisted development workflows so the team ships faster without opening new attack surface.
• Strengthen our detection and response capabilities: logging, alerting, incident response playbooks. Coordinate penetration tests, track findings, and drive remediation.
• Keep our security policies clear, current, and short. Train developers on secure practices without burying them in process.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
• Flexible work arrangements, including remote work options.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) plan with company matching.
• Company will provide laptop and other needed computer equipment.
