What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Cloud Security Engineer position at Paytient?
About Paytient:
We're on a mission to help people better access and afford care.
Every day, millions of people, and their loved ones, need to see a doctor. For most of us, that moment is an uncertain one - we're unsure of what's wrong, who to go to, how long it'll take to be seen, when we'll feel better, and what it'll cost.
Paytient partners with thoughtful employers and health plans who understand the impact of that moment and want to ensure that every one of their plan members are easily able to access and afford care. Our clients understand that an improved ability to self-pay for care changes patient behavior and creates value for the health plan. This founding belief is becoming an emerging standard of care in health plan design and is now, in fact, a mandatory capability in some governmental health plans. Founded in 2018, Paytient is now part of nearly 6,000 employer health plans and providing certainty that people are better able to access and afford care.
We're looking for passionate, collaborative builders to join our team and help us create a future where everyone can more easily access and afford care.
About The Role:
As a Senior Cloud Security Engineer, you will be an essential part of Paytient's security efforts and will share in the responsibility of safeguarding our cloud and application environments. You'll be spearheading the design and deployment of security controls in our GCP environment, adopting and extending existing controls in AWS, finding and addressing posture gaps, and expanding our ability to protect data that really matters. If you want to make a difference in the lives of our members by enabling better access to healthcare, come join our team!
Our "remote with roots" model allows us to work where we thrive and gather as needed, often in our home office in Columbia, Missouri. This role can be performed from anywhere in the continental U.S., with the exception of Montana.
