Position Summary

Reporting to the Director of Security Engineering, this Security Engineer role is a hands-on role responsible for securing Judi Health’s cloud environments and the applications that run in them. This role sits at the intersection of cloud security and application security: hardening cloud infrastructure and infrastructure as code, building automation that enforces and evidences security controls, and partnering with software engineering teams to identify and remediate application-layer risk.

Judi Health operates a FedRAMP Moderate platform in addition to SOC 1, SOC 2, HITRUST, and HIPAA obligations. The engineer in this role will work inside that authorization boundary every day — maintaining continuous monitoring, contributing to continuous control validation and automated compliance evidence, and supporting change management and external assessments. This is a strong fit for an engineer who wants to build durable security capability in a regulated, cloud-native environment rather than operate tools in isolation.

Position Responsibilities:

Design, implement, and improve security controls across our cloud infrastructure, platform services, and supporting integrations, including identity and access management, network segmentation, logging, encryption, and key and secrets management.

Harden infrastructure as code and cloud deployment pipelines, reviewing Terraform and CI/CD changes for security impact and building preventative guardrails rather than after-the-fact findings.

Operate and tune cloud security tooling — CSPM/CNAPP, SIEM, vulnerability management, and endpoint and data protection platforms — and drive consolidation toward a unified, well-instrumented approach.

Triage, prioritize, and drive remediation of cloud misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and posture findings, working directly with platform, infrastructure, and engineering owners through to closure.

Contribute to detection engineering and incident response, including alert development and tuning, investigation, threat hunting, containment support, and documentation of findings and root cause.

Review application and service designs for authentication, authorization, input validation, data exposure, and secrets-handling risk, and participate in architecture and design reviews for new Judi capabilities.

Assess code changes for security impact with enough fluency in Python and modern JavaScript frameworks to recognize unsafe patterns and propose practical fixes.

Embed security into the software development lifecycle through dependency scanning, secrets detection, container image scanning, and enforcement of pipeline security gates.

Contribute to secure coding guidance, developer-facing documentation, and practical enablement that helps engineering teams ship securely by default.

Execute continuous monitoring activities including recurring infrastructure, database, web application, and container scanning, and maintain accurate, timely remediation tracking and POA&M entries.

Build automation for security monitoring, evidence collection, control validation, and policy enforcement to support continuous compliance at scale.

Author security impact analyses for changes affecting the authorization boundary, including affected components, impacted controls, risk, mitigations, and validation approach, and support the change control process.

Translate FedRAMP, SOC 1, SOC 2, and HITRUST control requirements into practical, auditable technical implementations in partnership with the IT Audit and Compliance team.

Required Qualifications:

Three plus years of hands-on experience in security engineering, cloud security, application security, or a closely related discipline.

Demonstrated experience securing production AWS environments, including identity and access management, network controls, logging and monitoring, encryption, and cloud-native security services.

Working proficiency in at least one modern programming or scripting language, with a track record of automating security tasks rather than performing them manually.

Practical experience with infrastructure as code, including reading and writing Terraform and assessing infrastructure changes for security impact.

Experience with application security concepts and tooling, including the OWASP Top 10, API security risks, and SAST, DAST, or software composition analysis platforms.

Experience with security operations disciplines such as SIEM, vulnerability management, detection and alerting, and incident investigation.

Solid understanding of authentication and authorization patterns, least privilege, and secrets management, including OAuth2/OIDC and enterprise SSO.

Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and drive remediation across teams without formal authority.

Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce documentation and evidence that withstands audit and assessor scrutiny.

(Optional) Preferred Qualifications:

Experience supporting a regulated or audited environment such as FedRAMP, FISMA, StateRAMP, or CMMC, including control implementation and evidence management.

Familiarity with NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 control families and FedRAMP continuous monitoring expectations.

Experience with policy-as-code or automated compliance validation in cloud environments.

Knowledge of container and orchestration security, including Kubernetes, ECS, or EKS.

Experience in healthcare, health tech, or another highly regulated industry handling sensitive data.

Industry certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, CISSP, or similar.

Familiarity with AI and ML security concepts, including model access, data protection, and secure adoption practices.

New York, NY Salary Range $122,000 — $152,500 USD

Denver, CO Salary Range $111,600 — $139,500 USD

Charlotte, NC Salary Range $101,600 — $127,000 USD
