You'll work directly with Product and Engineering teams to translate HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements into technical security controls across Flo's AWS multi-account environment - including EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, VPC networking, IAM, and KMS.
You'll own the roadmap for HIPAA compliance and SOC 2 Type II certification, working closely with external auditors and professional services partners, and partnering with Engineering and Legal to build a secure, compliant platform for millions of users.
Your Experience

-
7+ years in security, compliance, or risk management (3+ in a leadership capacity), with a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
-
Deep expertise in SOC 2 and HIPAA frameworks within the AWS environment.
-
Familiarity with PHI handling, GRC and compliance automation platforms, and exposure to enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF.
-
Strong ability to manage multiple concurrent audit and certification workstreams.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to translate complex compliance requirements into clear actions for engineering and business teams.
Nice to have:
- CISA, CISM, or CISSP certifications
- Experience with NIST 800-53, Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), and Center for Internet Security (CIS) frameworks
- Experience in healthcare or another regulated industry; HITRUST experience a plus
- Experience building compliance roadmaps in early-stage startups
- Exposure to containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), serverless, and big data platforms
- Exposure to DevSecOps and sprint-based Agile development
- Vendor management experience
What you'll be doing
You'll be responsible for:
-
Compliance Leadership: Lead annual SOC 2 and HIPAA certifications, managing interfaces with external auditors and professional services.
- Technical Control Design: Partner with Engineering to harden AWS workloads (EKS, EC2, data pipelines, and more) to meet HIPAA and SOC 2 controls; perform technical security design reviews and architectural risk assessments for services handling PHI.
-
Policy & Risk: Define and maintain security policies and standards; embed risk assessment activities within engineering processes, and evolve Flo's security risk management framework.
- Vendor Risk Management: Support vendor risk activities including contract reviews and security posture assessments.
-
Operational Excellence: Partner with control owners to automate evidence gathering and ensure controls reduce friction rather than creating it.
-
Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary Security POC for US regulators and partners; support the wider Security team with ISO 27001/27701 alignment; report risk status to security leadership.
-
Tooling: Manage and integrate GRC and compliance automation platforms to streamline monitoring and reporting.
