The platform processes sensitive medical data and operates under strict regulatory requirements, requiring compliance with recognized cybersecurity standards and medical device regulations. You will work closely with engineering, product, and DevOps teams to proactively identify risks, define security requirements, and implement best practices that protect our systems, data, and users. You will also play a key role in supporting audits and regulatory processes, contributing to required documentation, and ensuring that security controls are clearly defined, effectively implemented, and fully traceable.
