Security Engineer, GRC

Overview We are seeking a Security GRC Lead to build our first in-house GRC program from the ground up. In this role, you won't just write policies or collect manual screenshots in spreadsheets; you will treat compliance as an engineering and data problem. You will build automated evidence pipelines, implement compliance-as-code, and establish continuous controls monitoring across our GCP infrastructure, identity systems, and CI/CD pipelines. You will turn point-in-time audits into a continuous compliance telemetry system that keeps our platform secure, resilient, and audit-ready at all times.

1) Compliance Automation & Engineering Develop automated scripts and API integrations to collect compliance evidence directly from system sources instead of collecting manual screenshots. Write and deploy infrastructure-as-code and policy enforcement rules to enforce security baselines automatically. Maintain live compliance dashboards and alerts that flag configuration drift or policy violations in real time. Partnering with Legal on Medicare and Medicaid compliance Partnering closely with legal and finance teams on future due diligence and compliance projects 2) Framework Mapping & Control Architecture Convert regulatory, security, and industry standards (SOC 2, HiTrust, PCI, HIPAA) into clear, testable technical controls. Map single technical controls across multiple overlapping frameworks to eliminate redundant work. Work alongside DevOps and Software Engineering teams to build compliance controls directly into CI/CD pipelines without slowing down delivery. 3) Risk Management & Audits Lead technical audit readiness and external audit engagements using programmatic evidence pipelines. Automate vendor risk management workflows and API-driven vendor evaluations. Build continuous risk tracking tools fed by live vulnerability telemetry and identity logs rather than static quarterly surveys.

About Candid Health In simple terms, healthcare in the U.S. has a massive, invisible problem behind the scenes: getting doctors paid by insurance companies is notoriously complicated. Insurance rules are constantly changing, and every bill (or "claim") requires mountains of paperwork. When mistakes happen, bills get rejected, patients end up with unexpected charges, and healthcare providers waste billions of dollars and countless hours on administrative bureaucracy instead of focusing on patient care. That is where Candid Health steps in. Founded by former Palantir leaders who experienced these pain points firsthand, Candid Health is building the modern financial backbone for American healthcare. Instead of relying on decades-old legacy software or attempting to patch broken systems with superficial tools, Candid Health rebuilt the underlying infrastructure from the ground up. At its core, Candid Health operates an autonomous Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) platform . Powered by AI agents and a configurable rules engine, the platform unifies clinical, billing, and insurance data into a single smart system. It acts like an intelligent, automated back-office that handles complex medical claims from start to
