Your role as Senior Cybersecurity Engineer / Developer

Reporting directly to the CISO, as a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer / Developer at Dialogue, you will be a key contributor in safeguarding our innovative healthcare platform and protecting the sensitive data of our users. You will leverage your deep technical expertise to design, build, and optimize security controls, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of our systems and data.

• Security Exercise Participation: Actively participate in planning and executing threat response drills and contribute to improving our business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities

We’d love to hear from you if you have

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, or cybersecurity operations, with a proven track record of increasing responsibilities and a strong understanding of security principles, architectures, and best practices
• Demonstrated expertise and hands‑on experience designing, implementing, and operating solutions across key security domains, including incident response, vulnerability management, network security, and identity and access management
• Significant experience securing cloud‑based technologies (e.g., Okta, Auth0, AWS, DataGuard, GCP, Google Workspace) and a strong understanding of Zero Trust Network Access concepts
• Familiarity with cloud deployment workflows, containerized environments, and infrastructure‑as‑code concepts (e.g., Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines)
• Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation and security analysis is a significant plus
• In‑depth knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks and industry standards such as NIST CSF, OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, and SSDLC
• Relevant information security certifications (e.g., CRISC, CISA, CISM, CGEIT, CISSP, CCSP) are considered a strong asset
