Information Security Engineer – Security Operations & AppSec
This is a full-time, Remote-First role at Bamboo Health, a leader in Real-Time Care Intelligence. This position is a technical “hybrid” role within the Security Operations (SecOps) team, blending application security, cloud defense, and incident response. You will protect a platform that impacts over 1 billion patient encounters annually, requiring a high degree of focus on HIPAA and HITRUST compliance.
- Location: Remote-First (US).
- Experience Required: Bachelor’s degree or 5+ years of equivalent professional experience.
- Core Focus: Web application penetration testing, vulnerability management, and security automation.
- On-Call: Participation in the incident response on-call rotation is required.
- Compliance Environment: SOC 2, HIPAA, HITRUST, and ISO 27001.
Key Responsibilities: Proactive Testing and Reactive Response
The Engineer serves as a technical partner across the software development lifecycle, ensuring that security is “baked in” rather than bolted on.
Vulnerability Management and Pentesting
You will manage infrastructure, container, and API vulnerabilities through Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and manual penetration testing. This includes performing root-cause analysis and threat modeling to prioritize remediation efforts.
Cloud and Kubernetes Security
The role involves securing applications hosted in automated Kubernetes platforms and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP). You will be responsible for ensuring that containerized workloads meet strict security standards.
DFIR and Detection Engineering
You will support the Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) process, including monitoring events, containment of threats, and remediation. A major part of the role is developing automation scripts to streamline these operations and improve detection logic.
Security Advocacy and SDLC
Partnering with development teams is essential. You will advocate for secure coding practices and ensure that security checkpoints are integrated into the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
Required Technical Skills
Bamboo Health is looking for a versatile engineer who can code, test, and respond to threats with equal proficiency.
- Security Testing: Practical experience with DAST tools and manual web application penetration testing.
- Operating Systems: Intermediate proficiency with Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Cloud Mastery: Foundational knowledge of cloud platforms and experience securing Kubernetes or containerized environments.
- Automation: Intermediate understanding of scripting languages like Python, PowerShell, or Bash.
- Compliance Knowledge: Familiarity with healthcare-specific frameworks such as HIPAA and HITRUST.
- Communication: Ability to articulate technical risk and business rationale to both engineers and stakeholders.
The First Year: Roadmap to Success
- Months 1–3: Mastery of internal tools; supervised vulnerability scanning; integration into the on-call rotation.
- Months 4–6: Independent web application penetration testing; management of the automated phishing training program.
- Months 7–12: Leading the system-wide vulnerability management program; implementing security automation to replace manual procedures.
