Job description

We are seeking a Senior/Lead Security Engineer to drive HIPAA and FedRAMP/NIST 800-53 compliance initiatives, translating regulatory requirements into actionable engineering work while supporting third-party audits and cross-functional coordination across security, privacy, and legal teams.

Responsibilities

• Translate HIPAA gap analyses, NIST 800-53 privacy controls, and audit findings into scoped Azure DevOps Features/Stories/Tasks with clear acceptance criteria, effort estimates, and a named owner
• Maintain backlog hygiene across active compliance features, including access control, data classification, log scrubbing, audit logging, data retention & deletion, and data access restrictions
• Write and execute test cases to verify controls work as designed, such as privileged-access restrictions, time-bound SailPoint access, PII minimization, and deletion-on-request, and document pass/fail evidence
• Own the intake, tracking, and fulfillment of third-party auditor evidence requests, such as Schellman FedRAMP Significant Change Reviews
• Map each audit request to the relevant NIST 800-53 control and coordinate with engineering, ISRM, Privacy, and Legal to gather artifacts and deliver on the auditor's schedule
• Produce recurring compliance status reporting for stakeholders
• Build lightweight automation, such as scripts, dashboards, and evidence pipelines, to reduce manual effort in future audit cycles as the program scales to new clients and jurisdictions
• Partner with ISRM, Privacy Office, Legal, SRE, and cloud platform teams to document controls inherited from AWS/Azure versus controls that must be built or owned internally

Requirements

• 6-15 years of overall experience in IT
• Experience in security/privacy compliance, GRC, or compliance engineering, supporting HIPAA and/or FedRAMP/NIST 800-53 programs
• Knowledge of the HIPAA Security & Privacy Rules, including administrative/physical/technical safeguards, BAAs, breach notification, and minimum necessary standards, as well as NIST 800-53 control families such as AC, AU, SI, and PM
• Demonstrated ability to turn compliance/regulatory language into scoped, estimable engineering backlog items in Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar tools
• Direct experience supporting third-party audits such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, or HITRUST, including evidence collection, control-to-evidence mapping, and meeting auditor deadlines
• Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS GovCloud and/or Azure Government, along with controls including IAM/RBAC, encryption/KMS, audit logging, and data retention & deletion

Nice to have

• Direct experience with FedRAMP Significant Change Requests (SCR) and assessor engagements
• Skills in scripting/automation using Python or Bash to automate evidence collection, control testing, or compliance dashboards
• Experience with AWS IAM/identity governance tooling such as SailPoint or equivalent, and access policy management across S3, RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift
• Familiarity with international privacy regimes such as UK/EU GDPR, Australia Privacy Act, or Canada PIPEDA, or readiness to ramp quickly as coverage expands
• Relevant certifications: CIPP/US, CIPM, HCISPP, CISA, CISSP, or an AWS/Azure security certification
• Experience with security-scan remediation tracking tools such as Snyk, Wiz, Qualys, or Burp, and secrets/certificate rotation programs
• Background supporting legal-tech, healthcare, or government SaaS products handling regulated data
