Role
Who you are
- A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience), graduating between December 2026 and June 2027
- Solid fundamentals in networking, operating systems, and how the web actually works (HTTP, DNS, TLS, authentication)
- Scripting ability in at least one language (Python, TypeScript, Bash, etc.). You don't need to be a software engineer, but you need to be able to read code and write automation
- Evidence you can actually do security: CTFs, home labs, security projects, internships, bug bounty submissions, open source contributions. We care about what you've broken and fixed, not just what you studied
- A hunger to learn and an ego small enough to admit when you don't know something
- Grit. You don't give up when things get hard. You Google, you read the docs, you ask questions, you figure it out
- Strong communication skills. You can explain a finding to an engineer, take feedback without defensiveness, and translate risk for people who aren't technical
- Sound judgment and discretion. We're a healthcare company handling protected health information, and you'll be trusted with sensitive access and sensitive situations
- Extreme bias toward action. You'd rather ship something imperfect and iterate than wait for perfect
What the job involves
- Are you a new grad who wants to defend something that matters from day one? As an Associate Security Engineer, you won't be relegated to ticket triage or endless compliance checklists. You'll be doing real security work that protects real patient data within your first weeks. This isn't a hand-holding job. You'll be challenged daily, expected to move fast, learn faster, and take ownership of your work like a seasoned engineer
- You'll join a small, security team that built this program from scratch. We will push you to grow, but you'll also be expected to think independently, ask the right questions, and own your work from start to finish
- You are scrappy, resourceful, and eager to prove yourself. You don't need all the answers; you need the drive to find them. You're not afraid of ambiguity or hard problems; in fact, they excite you. You take feedback like fuel, and you're looking for a place that will invest in making you exceptional, not comfortable
- This is an in person role in our Redwood City office, 3 days a week
- Do real security work in your first week: no shadowing period, no toy projects
- Rotate across the full breadth of a security program: incident response, cloud security, identity and access management, endpoint security, application security, vendor reviews, and compliance engineering. You'll find out what you're great at by doing all of it
- Take ownership of projects end-to-end. You'll be accountable for what you find and fix, and you'll feel the weight and pride of that responsibility
- Work directly with senior security engineers, platform engineers, and compliance. You'll have mentorship, but you'll also be expected to drive your own work forward
- Investigate incidents, review access, harden systems, and close out risks. Not glamorous, but essential, and you'll learn more from this than any certification could teach you
- Automate the boring stuff. If you do something twice by hand, we expect you to script it the third time
- Participate in incident reviews, vendor security reviews, and risk discussions. Your voice matters here, even on day one
- You'll get hands-on experience across every domain of a modern security program:
- Incident response and investigations
- Cloud security across AWS and GCP
- Identity and access management (Okta, Google Workspace)
- Security monitoring and detection
- Endpoint and corporate security
- Application and product security
- HIPAA compliance and security automation
Our take
The US healthcare system is complex and difficult to navigate. This leaves many patients overwhelmed with paperwork and insurance claims, and struggling against limited provider availability.
Solace has set out to tackle this issue, by connecting patients with expert healthcare advocates. These professionals, including former doctors and nurses, offer support and guide patients through their healthcare challenges.
With substantial funding to its name, Solace is in a position to expand its services, grow its network of advocates, and enhance coverage across Medicaid and private insurance plans. Alongside a partnership with Medicare, Solace aims to make healthcare advocacy more accessible and continue empowering patients with expert support.
