About the role

Original posting from Garnerhealth via Greenhouse

What you’ll be part of

Garner is on a mission to transform the U.S. healthcare system — and we’re the only proven player doing exactly that. We partner with employers to redesign how healthcare works: applying 550+ proprietary clinical metrics across 80+ specialties to a dataset of 320M+ patients to identify the best-performing doctors, then using compelling incentives to steer members to the care that helps them get healthier, faster.

The result is a rare “win win” — better care and lower costs for both members and employers. In just five years, our work has helped over 2.5 million people access higher-quality care and saved $1B in healthcare costs. We recently raised our Series E and have doubled five years running. If you've ever wanted your work to solve a problem that touches every person in this country, this is the opportunity to do exactly that. You'd be joining a team fundamentally reimagining healthcare in the U.S. — and using AI to scale that impact further and faster than anyone else can.

About the role:

We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to serve as a technical anchor for our security function. This role is critical for leading technical design reviews and ensuring our security posture scales alongside our rapid customer growth. You will be responsible for defining the security standards that protect sensitive healthcare data, ensuring our systems are resilient against evolving threats while maintaining high engineering velocity.

Master complex domains: Maintain and apply a mastery of one or more technical security domains (e.g., Cloud Security, AppSec, or Data) to solve the most complex business and technical challenges

Course-correct technical direction: Identify when technical paths are inefficient or insufficient and proactively redirect efforts to capture higher ROI for the firm

Architect automated defenses: Create and implement advanced tools and automation that increase the efficacy of security monitoring and incident response

Translate ambiguity into execution: Take broad, complex security objectives and break them down into well-defined deliverables and architectural requirements for the broader engineering team

Mentor through technical rigor: Raise the bar for the engineering function by providing high-level feedback during code and design reviews, fostering a culture of security-first development

The ideal candidate has:

Exceptional Technical Judgment: Proven ability to make high-stakes technical decisions that result in positive long-term outcomes for the company's security posture

Strategic Problem-Solving: Effectively leverages context and data to analyze root causes and prioritize security initiatives that offer the greatest impact on risk reduction

Influential Stakeholder Management: Builds strong relationships across the organization, conveying complex security risks in a clear and compelling manner to both technical and non-technical partners

Drive for Innovation: Continuously identifies and implements creative solutions to pay down technical debt and improve the efficiency of our security infrastructure

Reliability Under Pressure: Handles complex escalations and security incidents with discipline, ensuring rigorous analysis and comprehensive resolution without jumping to conclusions

A desire to be a part of a high-performing, mission-driven team that operates with intense urgency, a strong sense of individual accountability, and a commitment to authentic feedback
