Senior/Lead Security Engineer - HIPPA

We're looking for a Senior/Lead Security Engineer to lead HIPAA and FedRAMP/NIST 800-53 compliance efforts, converting regulatory mandates into concrete engineering tasks while facilitating third-party audits and collaborating across security, privacy, and legal functions.

Responsibilities

• Convert HIPAA gap analyses, NIST 800-53 privacy controls, and audit findings into scoped Azure DevOps Features/Stories/Tasks with defined acceptance criteria, effort estimates, and a designated owner
• Keep the backlog organized across ongoing compliance features, including access control, data classification, log scrubbing, audit logging, data retention & deletion, and data access restrictions
• Develop and run test cases to confirm controls function as intended, such as privileged-access restrictions, time-bound SailPoint access, PII minimization, and deletion-on-request, then document pass/fail results
• Manage the intake, tracking, and completion of third-party auditor evidence requests, such as Schellman FedRAMP Significant Change Reviews
• Link each audit request to its corresponding NIST 800-53 control and work with engineering, ISRM, Privacy, and Legal to collect artifacts and meet the auditor's timeline
• Generate ongoing compliance status reports for stakeholders
• Create simple automation tools, such as scripts, dashboards, and evidence pipelines, to cut down manual work in future audits as the program expands to new clients and jurisdictions
• Collaborate with ISRM, Privacy Office, Legal, SRE, and cloud platform teams to document which controls are inherited from AWS/Azure versus those that must be developed or maintained internally

Requirements

• 6-15 years of overall IT experience
• Background in security/privacy compliance, GRC, or compliance engineering, with support for HIPAA and/or FedRAMP/NIST 800-53 programs
• Understanding of the HIPAA Security & Privacy Rules, covering administrative/physical/technical safeguards, BAAs, breach notification, and minimum necessary standards, along with NIST 800-53 control families such as AC, AU, SI, and PM
• Proven ability to convert compliance/regulatory language into scoped, estimable engineering backlog items using Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar platforms
• Hands-on experience supporting third-party audits such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, or HITRUST, including gathering evidence, mapping controls to evidence, and meeting auditor deadlines
• Knowledge of cloud environments such as AWS GovCloud and/or Azure Government, plus controls including IAM/RBAC, encryption/KMS, audit logging, and data retention & deletion

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with FedRAMP Significant Change Requests (SCR) and assessor engagements
• Scripting/automation skills using Python or Bash to automate evidence collection, control testing, or compliance dashboards
• Experience with AWS IAM/identity governance tools such as SailPoint or equivalent, and managing access policies across S3, RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift
• Understanding of international privacy regimes such as UK/EU GDPR, Australia Privacy Act, or Canada PIPEDA, or the ability to quickly learn as coverage expands
• Relevant certifications: CIPP/US, CIPM, HCISPP, CISA, CISSP, or an AWS/Azure security certification
• Experience with security-scan remediation tracking tools such as Snyk, Wiz, Qualys, or Burp, along with secrets/certificate rotation programs
• Background supporting legal-tech, healthcare, or government SaaS products that handle regulated data
