We are a data logistics company for healthcare whose products and solutions enable organizations to move and connect data securely. Datavant has a network of networks consisting of thousands of organizations, more than 70,000 hospitals and clinics, 70% of the 100 largest health systems, and an ecosystem of 500 real-world data partners.

By joining Datavant today, you're stepping onto a highly collaborative, remote-first team that is passionate about creating transformative change in healthcare. We hire for three traits: we want people who are smart, nice, and get things done. We invest in our people and believe in hiring for high-potential and humble individuals who can rapidly grow their responsibilities as the company scales. Datavant is a distributed, remote-first team, and we empower Datavanters to shape their working environment in a way that suits their needs.

You will:

• Have a deep understanding of AWS security. You'll use this knowledge to help Datavant navigate all the traps of good AWS products vs. great AWS products and know when to be thoughtful on use.
• Have a point of view on secure continuous development and represent it as Datavant continues to mature working collaboratively with other team members.
• Have a point of view on secure network controls and the deep design paradigms of secure cloud networking, overlay networks, and vpn design.
• Work directly with security senior leadership to ensure maturity, depth, and coverage of security controls.
• Review components being built in our cloud infrastructure (via pull request reviews and contribution). During these reviews you'll be mentally present and use your ability to evaluate risk such that you have a great impact on the delivery of secure code. This role is not merely a 1.
• You will have an understanding of risks, but may have some knowledge gaps in depth of risk management. It's OK, we'll teach you. The core skill set you bring to the table is a development mindset.
• Work directly with DevOps peers to help build practical and usable security into the SDLC and AWS.
• Own new projects for advancing security in our environment. Be the deep technical expert and collaborate with others on the teams to ensure project success. Your impact here cannot be understated, you are a core contributor and have deep influence to empower Datavant greatness.

What you will bring to the table:

• You are humble.
• You can build Infrastructure as Code in Terraform. It is expected that you have a "git native" skillset.
• You can articulate start to finish what a secure release cycle should look like in detail.
• You have opinions and options on most of the steps.
• You are a consummate collaborator, it's inherent in your work behavior.
• You value time deeply and optimize for greatest impact.
• 3 years of working in at least 1 major public Cloud provider and a desire to learn a second.
• Broad scoped projects don't scare you, they energize you. However, you like to get things done fast (and help others) with limited dependencies.

Bonus points if:

• You are often viewed as the "expert in the room" on cloud security in your current role.
• You have experience with security in healthcare or other highly regulated space. Examples: HIPAA/HITRUST, SOC 2, PCI experience from an operational response standpoint.
