Job Description
OURÂ MISSION
Imagine building a better healthcare journey for patients with cancer, where individuals and their loved ones feel seen, supported, and heard by their care team – both in and out of the clinic. Where fast access to high-quality care is the norm, not the exception. Where patients have access to a care navigator to guide them through their diagnosis and trusted support all along the way.
At Thyme Care, we share a passion for transforming the cancer care experience – not just for patients but also for their caregivers and loved ones, as well as those delivering and paying for their care. Today, Thyme Care is known predominantly as a cancer care navigation company enabling value-based cancer care; in the next few years, we will become a nationally recognized technology-driven and provider-centric care delivery model, reshaping the landscape of cancer care access, delivery, and experience. Our commitment runs deep—we’re not satisfied with the status quo but determined to redefine it.
To make this happen, we’re building a diverse team of problem solvers and critical thinkers to drive innovation and shape the future of healthcare. If you share our vision and want to be part of something truly meaningful, we want to hear from you. Together, we can revolutionize cancer care and make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
WHAT YOU’LL DO As a Senior Security Engineer, you strengthen Thyme Care’s security posture across our platform and infrastructure. You work closely with our Platform engineering team, IT, and virtual CISO to identify risks, harden our architecture, and embed security by design across engineering. You balance hands-on technical execution with coaching engineers to build secure practices by default.
- Proactively identify and close gaps in cloud, network, and application security architecture
- Lead security reviews of code and infrastructure, conduct threat modeling and partner with Eng squads on secure-by-default design
- Configure, tune, and monitor key security tools (e.g., Nightfall, GuardDuty, endpoint agents) to surface actionable alerts
- Triage and approve incoming security-related requests (applications, packages, Chrome extensions)
- Own technical response during a live security incident – from triage and log analysis to containment – in partnership with CISO, Engineering, and IT
- Build additional and low-friction security automation into CI/CD pipelines (dependency checks, SAST/DAST, IaC scanning)
- Partner with engineers to establish best practices and elevate secure coding practices without slowing delivery
WHAT YOU’VE DONE
- Experience in application and infrastructure security, ideally in a healthcare or regulated environment
- Expertise with cloud security (AWS), IAM, CI/CD pipelines, and core security tools
- Background in securing public-facing APIs, web apps, and data platforms
- Knowledge of security monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices
- Ability to triage and operationalize security requests with pragmatism and rigor
- Comfortability working in fast-paced, scaling environments where priorities shift quickly
