Ro is the only company to offer nationwide telehealth, labs, and pharmacy services. This is enabled by Ro's vertically integrated platform that helps patients achieve their goals through a convenient, end-to-end healthcare experience spanning from diagnosis, to delivery of medication, to ongoing care. Since 2017, Ro has helped millions of patients in nearly every single county in the United States, including 99% of primary care deserts.

The Role

The Cloud Security function at Ro is dedicated to protecting the security and privacy of our patients by continually raising the security bar across our cloud environments. We achieve this by collaborating closely with engineers and leaders across Ro’s platform, data, and product teams, devising, implementing, and communicating a well-rounded approach to security. In this role, you’ll have direct influence on strategic initiatives, providing the engineering expertise necessary to make confident, scalable, secure, and privacy-respecting decisions—all while employing a hands-on builder mindset to “build it in.”

This role is a senior-level individual contributor position, where you’ll serve as a hands-on technical expert, building internal products and infrastructure to protect Ro’s cloud security posture and meet compliance objectives. As a key member of the Product Security team, which comprises expertise in product security, cloud security, architecture, and privacy engineering, you will design and automate scalable architectures and tools. You will be the technical advocate for cloud security decisions, driving discussions and designs, and working closely with Ro’s infrastructure and engineering teams to make secure infrastructure solutions.

You are an expert communicator and a kind, team player.
