Company mission
To catalyze healthcare's greatest inventors by maximizing the value of patient insights - so that they can build up, not around.
Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone comfortable with tackling a diverse set of responsibilities and who can communicate effectively with the rest of the organization
- A passion for information, coding, cloud computing, and implementing data pipelines
- Understanding of and heavy interest inAWS compute and networking resources (ALB, S3, EC2, ECS, etc.)
- A desire to learn and steward Infrastructure-as-Code (we primarily use Terraform)
- Knowledge of and interest in working with Continuous Deployment
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline tools (we primarily use GitHub Actions) to achieve repeatable, idempotent, secure and monitored pipelines of code deployments
- General awareness and knowledge of cybersecurity principles
- Familiarity with Linux and the command line and coding: shell/bash, nodeJS, python (not necessary these languages, but the willingness to learn languages/frameworks to accomplish guided tasking)
- A self-starter attitude that shows that you are ready for the fast, and sometimes unstructured, nature of an early stage startup, and can get things done independently
- An effective communicator, and the willingness to level up in technical writing and communication (intra-team, customer, vendor, and leadership)
What the job involves
- Security is central to Zus’s mission to bring information speed to health care
- As part of our compliance and security team, you’ll help drive the automation of the monitoring Zus (AWS) cloud security posture, build data pipelines and integrations to our Governance-Risk-Compliance platform to capture evidence on our security controls, partner with engineering teams to capture metrics on technical operations, and ensure alignment with auditors and framework requirements
- Help with Regulatory Compliance (SOC2, HITRUST), maintaining and automating an auditable security posture
- Track KPI around security, and help steer the strategy of how the InfraSec team uses and responds to these signals
- Improve CI/CD tools integration/operations, and full automation of CI/testing
- Participate in Risk Assessment sessions, and help document, capture, and prioritize remediation or improvements
- Cloud security (AWS): help improve security posture by researching and implementing configurations, fixes, or third-party services
- Work with other engineering teams to develop or improve cloud infrastructure, remediate security vulnerabilities or improve logging, monitoring and metric capabilities
- This person will report to our Manager, InfoSec and Compliance
Application process
- This person will need to be in Boston at least 3 days per week. This co-op will run from early January to late June
Our take
Whilst the healthtech sector is growing fast, the kind of tech needed to build within each healthcare field can be radically different. The result has been that most of these companies develop in a vacuum, with time and resources wasted on unnecessary duplications of tools, data, and backends. Zus is looking to remedy this health data isolation issue by building a shared development platform for healthcare startups.
The idea is that companies will benefit from shared data in the backend - thus bringing down the cost and delays currently involved in setting up individual new companies. Whilst the healthtech boom of recent years is showing signs of abating, at least in the US, it’s still a strong and fertile market with plenty of room for innovation. This should keep interest high for capabilities like those offered by Zus.
Moreover, the company is led by HealthTech veteran Jonathan Bush. His tenure at athenahealth saw it ultimately sold in a $17B private equity deal after becoming a leading healthcare network service provider. With this expertise, a market-accelerating proposition, and impressive partnerships, Zus is becoming an important player.
