Associate Application Security Engineer
Elation Health
USD 80k-100k / year
We build tools that help physicians and clinicians deliver exceptional, high-quality care. Our
platform powers physician practices, health systems, and other care organizations that manage
sensitive data and depend on Elation as a critical part of their clinical workflow.
As we continue to grow, we are investing in application security to help keep our web
applications, APIs, and patient-facing experiences secure by design.
If you're excited about securing tools that help doctors and patients — and you enjoy making the
secure path the easiest path for engineers — we want to hear from you, even if you don't check
every box below!
What you'll do in your first 60 days:
- Assist with secure design and implementation reviews for new and existing features across web applications, APIs, and backend services.
- Monitor, triage, and help remediate findings from security tooling.
- Get familiar with our security technologies and processes
- Work with feature teams to understand exploitability, prioritize fixes, and track closure of vulnerabilities in alignment with internal SLAs.
- Implement an enterprise security control and configure it for long-term observability.
Success at 6-12 months looks like:
- You're assisting in applying key application security processes
- You're helping shape technical direction for secure, AI-native, product-critical services handling sensitive data
- You're supporting evidence collection for compliance audits
- You've built strong partnerships with product, support, infrastructure, and IT to help identify and triage vulnerabilities and quickly resolve issues
- The security improvements you've implemented are measurably reducing risk
- You’re independently reviewing and triaging security alerts
and tooling by identifying, triaging, and tracking vulnerabilities, while also independently
reviewing security alerts and supporting our incident response process to ensure security events
are resolved quickly and safely.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Essential:
- Experience securing web applications and APIs, including a strong grasp of common vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10) and practical mitigations
- Hands-on experience with application security tooling (e.g., SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC/container scanning) and/or observability for security-relevant signals
- Ability to communicate complex security and technical problems clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Exposure with secure SDLC practices such as threat modeling, security-focused design reviews, and vulnerability management
- Track record of delivering high-quality, pragmatic security outcomes in collaboration with product and engineering teams
- Enthusiasm and interest in technology in general and securing systems
Valued but not required:
- Exposure to building or securing systems with AI/LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic)
- Familiarity with OAuth2/OIDC, SSO, secure API design, and multi-tenant SaaS architectures.
- Experience with coding languages such as Python and JavaScript
- Hands-on experience with security monitoring tooling (e.g., SIEM, IPS, WAF, SASE, Network Vulnerability Scanning) and/or observability for security-relevant signals
- Exposure with secure SDLC practices such as threat modeling, security-focused design reviews, and vulnerability management
- Knowledge of US healthcare industry, PHI/PII protection, and health tech
