Principal Security Engineer

You will be the foundational technical pillar for security at Candid Health. As our first Principal Security Engineer, you won't just be managing a compliance checklist—you will architect, build, and scale the technical systems that protect our customers and their patients.

Operating as a high-influence individual contributor, you will partner directly with Engineering and Product leadership to ensure we ship features rapidly while maintaining an ironclad promise of data integrity. This is a role for a heavy-hitting technical leader who wants to set the security blueprint for a fast-growing health-tech platform.
