What You Will Bring:
● 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with at least 3-5 years in a hands-on, senior or lead role.
● Proven experience in a regulated industry, with a strong preference for MedTech (medical devices), HealthTech, or Life Sciences.
● FDA Expertise: Demonstrated, hands-on experience with FDA cybersecurity guidance for medical devices, contributing to the cybersecurity sections of regulatory submissions (e.g., 510(k), PMA), and acting as a subject matter expert in direct interactions with regulatory bodies (e.g., responding to submission questions, participating in audits).
● Compliance Expertise: Direct experience leading or playing a primary role in achieving and maintaining SOC 2 and/or HIPAA compliance.
● Product Security: Strong experience with application security, secure SDLC practices, threat modeling (e.g., STRIDE), and vulnerability management for software products.
