Lead Software Engineer, Identity & Access Management

YOUR TEAM

Security Foundations stands as the vanguard of technical excellence, championing security and efficiency to drive our continued success in the healthcare industry. Due to strict regulations on Protected Health Information (PHI), our org frequently partners with Compliance and Legal to ensure we are meeting the compliance standards of HIPAA and SOC2. The healthcare industry is a prime target for cyberattacks due to the value of medical data. Threat actors, including hackers and ransomware groups, are continually evolving their tactics, making it critical to stay ahead of security vulnerabilities. Healthcare data needs to be shared securely across our systems and with our customers. Ensuring secure data exchange while maintaining data integrity and privacy is paramount to the success of Nuna. Striking a balance between ensuring data security and enabling efficient access for authorized users is a continuous goal of the Security Foundations Org.

Our mission as the IAM team is to ensure secure and seamless identity, authentication, access control, and auditing for our company's products and data. We are dedicated to enhancing our authorization mechanisms to meet cutting-edge industry standards. We build and maintain product user permissions and role based access controls, database access control policies, and a robust logging and auditing mechanism that tracks all events triggered in an authenticated session.

The technologies we work with heavily include AWS, Open Policy Agent, Snowflake, Auth0, Terraform, Python and BI-Tooling.
