Here, collaboration fuels progress, adaptability sparks innovation and every voice can help shape what’s next for R1 and the future of healthcare.
About the Role
The Offensive Security team is hiring a Senior IT Security Engineer to strengthen how we find and fix vulnerabilities before attackers do. You'll run hands-on penetration tests across infrastructure, networks, and applications, work across multiple cloud environments, and help mature testing methodology and tooling for a healthcare technology company operating at real scale. This is an individual contributor role with room to shape process, not just execute against a checklist.
Responsibilities
- Plan and execute penetration tests across internal and external infrastructure, networks, and web and mobile applications.
- Perform application security testing — manual and tool-assisted — integrated into the SDLC, including source-code-assisted ("gray box") testing where applicable.
- Test across multiple cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP), including cloud configuration, IAM, and workload-level exposures.
- Simulate real-world adversary techniques against production and pre-production systems, in coordination with engineering and infrastructure owners.
- Build, maintain, and extend a toolkit spanning both open-source and commercial tooling; write custom scripts and tools to close gaps in existing coverage.
- Document findings with clear risk ratings, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance, for both engineering teams and executive stakeholders.
- Partner with engineering, infrastructure, and product teams to validate fixes and reduce time-to-remediation.
- Support testing tied to compliance obligations, including HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI DSS assessments and audits.
- Track emerging attack techniques, exploits, and threat intelligence relevant to healthcare and revenue cycle technology environments.
- Contribute to tabletop exercises, purple-team collaboration, and internal security training as needed.
Minimum Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in penetration testing or offensive security, spanning both infrastructure/network and application security testing.
- At least one recognized offensive security certification — e.g., OSCP, GPEN, GWAPT, GXPN, CEH, or equivalent demonstrated hands-on skill — with a track record of pursuing further certification.
- Practical experience testing in multiple cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP), not just on-prem infrastructure.
- Working knowledge of established methodologies and frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, the OWASP Testing Guide, and PTES.
- Fluency with both open-source and commercial security tooling (e.g., Burp Suite, Zap, Nmap, Metasploit, BloodHound, Nuclei, OWASP ZAP) and the judgment to pick the right tool for the job.
- Scripting or automation ability (Python, PowerShell, or Bash) to build custom tooling and speed up repeatable testing.
- Experience operating in environments subject to HIPAA, SOC 2, and/or PCI DSS.
- Strong written and verbal communication — you can explain a finding's real-world impact to an engineer and to a non-technical stakeholder in the same afternoon.
- Comfort operating independently inside a large, fast-paced, matrixed organization.
Preferred Qualifications
- Advanced certifications: OSWE, OSCE/OSEE, GXPN, CISSP, or CCSP.
- Experience testing containerized environments and Kubernetes.
- API security testing experience (REST/GraphQL), beyond standard web app testing.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline security and secure SDLC integration.
- Experience contributing to or maintaining open-source security tools.
- Healthcare, healthcare IT, or financial services industry experience.
- Experience with AI models, harnesses, and exploiting AI services.
