Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with several years of experience focusing on cybersecurity for cloud-native applications. You’ve seen what works, and probably a few things that didn’t work. Your opinions are grounded in experience
- Passionate about software security, and experienced at multiple levels of the stack. You can determine whether a piece of code is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack; debate the relative merits of CBC vs GCM; and architect a system with appropriate data segregation for confidential data
- Experienced working in a regulated environment. You have worked with compliance frameworks such as SOC2 and HITRUST
- Up-to-date on industry best-practices and trends, and enjoy of learning new things
- Excited about being hands-on in a fast-moving, productive, and supportive environment
- Willing to pitch in wherever needed - as a fast-moving startup we need to do good work, quickly
What the job involves
- Our generative AI-powered products are bringing joy back to the practice of medicine, and we’re looking for experienced security engineers to join our growing US-based engineering team. You’ll serve as a subject matter expert to help us build applications that are secure from current and future information security threats, and will be involved at all stages of the software development lifecycle
- Help define and implement secure coding standards, and work with engineers and engineering management to advocate for and implement these standards
- Perform architectural and code reviews, with a focus on secure development practices
- Perform threat modeling and risk assessment, both standalone and as part of our larger security and compliance program
- Identify and remediate security vulnerabilities through manual and automated testing
- Incorporate automated tools such as SAST / DAST / RASP / SCA into the development process, such as by augmenting CI + CD pipelines
- Lead triage of incoming issues, and work with engineering teams to remediate known or suspected security vulnerabilities
- Train and mentor engineers on secure development practices
- Research commercial and open-source solutions, and make build vs buy recommendations to bring new capabilities into the technology organization
- Build deep user empathy and maintain a user-centric mindset
- Communicate regularly and effectively within and on behalf of our cross-functional product delivery teams. You’ll work with other disciplines including product, machine learning, and platform engineering, and will have opportunities to learn from and contribute to projects across the company
Our take
Summarizing key elements of healthcare conversations is crucial for both physicians and patients. Medical scribes, though effective, are costly, and the healthcare system faces funding and staffing crises. This has created a demand for more efficient notetaking solutions.
This is where Abridge comes in, it has developed a HIPAA-compliant AI platform that transcribes, structures, summarizes, and provides insights from audio or transcripts of medical conversations. It claims to work across all specialities and offers patient-friendly summaries in easy-to-understand language.
Abridge aims to alleviate pressure on the healthcare system from the patient's perspective, a unique approach among healthtech startups. While companies like Inovia, DOUB, and DeepScribe focus on assisting physicians with medical transcription AI, they lack Abridge's patient-centric features, which are valuable in enhancing the patient experience.
