By joining Datavant today, you’re stepping onto a highly collaborative, remote-first team that is passionate about creating transformative change in healthcare. We hire for three traits: we want people who are smart, nice, and get things done. We invest in our people and believe in hiring for high-potential and humble individuals who can rapidly grow their responsibilities as the company scales. Datavant is a distributed, remote-first team, and we empower Datavanters to shape their working environment in a way that suits their needs.

You will:

• Have a thorough understanding of AWS or equivalent cloud security. You’ll use this knowledge to assist the team in building creative security automation. 
• Have worked in an environment where gitops are commonplace. You know how to PR, +1, review code, build things and you have a deep passion for learning how to do more with less in code.
• Work in a combination of building things and configuring things. These things may include automations around Github to help our vulnerability management program operate more efficiently, pipeline controls for security to help uniform our checks, and work with our CSPM (Wiz) to help tune, build integrations, and work through identified problems with developers to resolution. 
• You will have an understanding of risks, but may have some knowledge gaps in depth of risk management. It’s OK, we’ll teach you. The core skill set you bring to the table is a development mindset.
• Have worked past the point of intimidation in your career that may exist around reaching out to anyone (especially developers). You can expect to be deeply interfacing with our development and Infrastructure and Developer Experience teams daily. 
• Work directly with senior members of the team to ensure maturity, depth, and coverage of security controls. You’ll be expected to interface with your team members daily.
• Review components being built in our cloud infrastructure (via pull request reviews and contribution). During these reviews you’ll be mentally present and use your ability to evaluate risk such that you assist in the delivery of secure code. This role is not merely a +1.
• Work directly with world class level DevOps peers to help build practical and usable security into the SDLC and AWS. 
• Collaborate on new projects for advancing security in our environment. You’ll offer an open mind to your teammates and a can-do attitude in all projects. Your impact here cannot be understated, you are a core contributor and have deep influence to empower Datavant greatness.

What you will bring to the table: 

• You are humble.
• You can build in at least a single language (Python, Go) and have Infrastructure as Code depth (Terraform). It is expected that you have a “git native” skillset.
• You can articulate start to finish what a secure release cycle might look like.
• You have opinions and options on most of the steps.
• You are a consummate collaborator, it’s inherent in your work behavior.
• You value time deeply and optimize for greatest impact.
• 1+ years of working in container space security, particularly in Kubernetes environments.
• 2+ years of working in at least 1 major public Cloud provider and a desire to learn a second.
• On projects, you are accountable. In moments of gray area, you don’t “let the work come to you” via assignment but are proactive and pick up work you think may be valuable to the team. Datavant is a high autonomy company, we expect everyone at every level to act as owners.

Bonus points if:

• You have worked in a development environment that uses Python.
• You have experience with security in healthcare or other highly regulated space. Examples: HIPAA/HITRUST, SOC 2, PCI experience from an operational response standpoint.
