across the Health 100 portfolio. This role
translates application
security
strategy into scalable engineering solutions that strengthen release readiness, improve
vulnerability remediation,
expand security and mobile testing coverage
, and enable secure-by-default delivery
across engineering teams
.
Who You Are
A senior technical employee with deep expertise in application security, DevSecOps, automation and secure delivery practices.
Experienced translating security strategy into implementations that development teams can adopt consistently.
Strong in automation, tooling integration and process improvement that reduce manual effort and improve engineering outcomes.
Comfortable using metrics to communicate technical risk, delivery progress and measurable outcomes.
Able to balance hands-on engineering depth with cross-functional influence across application, platform, cloud and security teams.
Role Responsibilities
Support application onboarding and security enablement for Health 100 initiatives.
Help development teams meet security requirements through standard tooling, pipeline integration and repeatable implementation patterns.
Translate release-readiness expectations into repeatable technical patterns and evidence.
Ensure mobile applications are included in Health 100 security enablement through mobile application security testing, secure configuration validation and clear remediation guidance.
Lead DevSecOps implementation initiatives aligned to security goals and engineering priorities.
Own technical planning, architecture, delivery, issue resolution and implementation outcomes.
Coordinate across application, platform and security teams to remove blockers and sustain adoption.
Design, implement and improve CI/CD security controls, pipeline enforcement and automated scanning workflows.
Partner with development and platform teams to embed security controls without creating unnecessary delivery friction.
Build self-service security solutions and reusable automation that reduce manual intervention and improve engineering efficiency.
Automate secret-detection and CI/CD security workflows, including Gitleaks or comparable capabilities.
Lead security-tool migrations, including transitions such as Checkmarx to Snyk, from design through stable production operation.
Produce and validate initial post-migration scan results to demonstrate successful implementation and integration.
Standardize tooling configurations across development teams to improve consistency, ease of use and policy alignment.
Partner with platform teams to reduce legacy pipeline risk, fragmented configurations and duplicated manual processes.
Drive remediation of critical and high-risk vulnerabilities across Health 100 applications with clear technical ownership and follow-through.
Monitor remediation against established SLAs and identify aging, recurrence and systemic issues.
Lead technical prioritization of high-impact open-source and software supply chain exposures affecting multiple applications.
Provide remediation guidance and scalable fixes that teams can adopt consistently.
Improve open-source visibility through SBOM coverage and related software supply chain practices.
Drive secure-by-default dependency usage and remediation of high-risk third-party components.
Engineer controls for public cloud, container, Kubernetes, Security-as-Code and Infrastructure-as-Code environments.
Apply network-security and cloud-architecture expertise to design practical, resilient solutions.
Apply mobile security expertise to assess iOS and Android application risk, validate mobile security testing results and guide remediation of mobile-specific findings.
Track and report scan coverage, mobile testing coverage, vulnerability aging, SLA adherence, remediation effectiveness, automation adoption, tool coverage and pipeline compliance.
Use metrics to identify control gaps, adoption barriers and opportunities for continuous improvement.
Provide concise, executive-ready updates on implementation progress, delivery risk and measurable security outcomes.
Serve as a senior technical authority for DevSecOps implementation, migration and automation decisions.
Mentor engineers, establish reusable engineering patterns and strengthen technical consistency across teams.
Create clear implementation guidance and education that foster developer self-service and security awareness.
Build resilient ownership and support models that reduce single points of failure.
