Security & Compliance Lead

We are hiring our first dedicated security and compliance owner. You will serve as our designated HIPAA Security Officer and own the security program across the company.

You will build Maigrate's security and compliance program from the ground up. You will lead SOC 2 readiness through Type II, build the policy and control framework, establish our HIPAA security program, and put the systems in place to keep all of it running as we scale.

The work has a second layer most security roles do not have. Our products run on large language models, which creates new questions around what data reaches a model, how providers handle that data, what gets logged, how long it is retained, and how AI systems are monitored in production. You will own the controls around that layer too.

You will personally build the compliance foundation. On the technical side, you will set the requirements, verify the work, and drive remediation with engineering, who will implement the changes.

Serve as Maigrate's designated HIPAA Security Officer

Set security standards for our cloud environment and hold the company to them

Own vulnerability management as a program: define the process, prioritize findings, and drive engineering to close them
