We connect patients with hassle-free sexual + reproductive care online, with discreet and convenient treatment that saves them time, money, and stress. Our goal is to empower everyone to make the decisions about their health that are right for them. We’ve scaled quickly, serving patients across the nation and becoming part of the WELL Health family—and now we want you.

What You’ll Do

• Ensure a very high degree of cloud security posture in AWS by addressing vulnerabilities and ensuring technical controls are passing

• Enable our engineers to ship secure code by building a robust stack of security tools and integrating it into our CI/CD pipeline (static and dynamic application security testing).

• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure secure design and code review, supporting our Python codebase.

• Act as a thought leader, educating our engineering team on security best practices and curating a culture where everyone feels invested and responsible for building a secure product.

• Collaborate cross-functionally across the business to help define and implement our organization’s roadmap for security.

• You have proven hands-on experience with AWS and Kubernetes; you’re comfortable in the code, and other engineers look to you for help with those tools.

• You have been a team of one, serving as a security SME and proactively getting out ahead of potential problems and prioritizing work.

• You have experience with common vulnerability and SIEM tooling and owning the lifecycle of findings and remediations.

• You have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and articulate complex security concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
