[Remote] Software Engineer, IT and Security

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Parachute Health is transforming post-acute care as the leading digital ordering platform for medical equipment and supplies. The Software Engineer role involves writing code for internal operations and building applications and automation services to enhance IT and security processes.

Responsibilities

• You'll be the dedicated software engineer embedded in Parachute Health's IT & Security team, writing the code that runs our internal operations
• You'll build internal applications, automation services, and AI agents that replace manual work across identity, endpoint, cloud security, compliance, and incident response - in an environment governed by HIPAA, SOC 1, SOC 2, and HITRUST
• Concrete projects on the roadmap for your first year: A self-service access portal (React + Node.js + Okta API) that lets employees request app and AWS access, routes for approval, and provisions automatically
• An automated user lifecycle service (Python) that listens to HR webhooks and orchestrates Okta, AWS, GitHub, and SaaS provisioning/deprovisioning end-to-end
• An audit evidence collection service (Python) that pulls evidence from 30+ systems (AWS, GitHub, Okta, Drata, Splunk) on a schedule and writes structured evidence into our compliance platform
• An alert enrichment pipeline (Python) that takes raw security alerts, queries context from logs/CMDB/HR systems, and writes back enriched, triaged tickets
• AI agents and MCP servers (Python, TypeScript) - agents built on the Anthropic API that safely read from and act on our internal systems: running access reviews, drafting compliance evidence, triaging tickets
• Detection-as-code in Splunk SPL / Wazuh rules / SQL that turns log data into actionable alerts
• N8n workflows for simpler integrations where a full service isn't justified - you'll pick the right tool for the job
• Code review, write, and ship - Python services, TypeScript tools, SQL queries, agent definitions
• Pair with security analysts and IT engineers to translate operational pain into shipped automation
• Design and build APIs, schedulers, and event-driven services that integrate across our SaaS stack
• Write tests, dashboards, and runbooks for everything you ship
• Participate in an on-call rotation for the IT/Security tooling you own (not customer-facing platform)
• Sit in on architecture reviews and incident response

Skills

• Minimum 2 years of professional software engineering experience in a production web environment
• Strong professional experience in Python *or* TypeScript/Node.js. Bonus if both
• Comfort writing SQL against real production datasets
• Hands-on experience with AWS (IAM, Lambda/ECS/EKS, S3, RDS) and Infrastructure-as-Code
• Experience integrating with REST/GraphQL APIs and webhooks across SaaS platforms
• Strong fundamentals: data structures, design patterns, testing, code reviews
• Security-first mindset: you think about least privilege, secrets handling, PHI exposure, and audit trails by default
• Working knowledge of at least one compliance framework - SOC 2, HITRUST, HIPAA, ISO 27001, or NIST
• Must reside in the U.S
• Experience building AI agents or LLM-powered tools in production — agent architectures, tool integration, MCP, retrieval-augmented generation, eval frameworks
• Experience driving AI adoption across a technical team (pairing, demos, reusable skills/plugins)
• Familiarity with our stack: Okta, ZScaler, Splunk/Wazuh, Lacework, Drata, Datadog, n8n
• SIEM detection engineering (Splunk SPL, Wazuh rules, Sigma)
• Experience with Kubernetes (EKS), GitOps (ArgoCD), or service mesh (Istio with OIDC/JWT)
• Healthcare technology background - exposure to HIPAA, PHI handling, or DME workflows
• Security or cloud certifications (CISSP, CCSP, AWS Security Specialty, GCIH, OSCP)
• Professional experience with Ruby on Rails (Parachute's primary product stack — useful for cross-team collaboration)
• Experience as a technical lead bridging IT, Security, Engineering, and Compliance stakeholders

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage: Comprehensive plans with options for low-to-no-cost premiums.
• Employer HSA Contribution: Company-funded contributions to your Health Savings Account.
• 401(k) Retirement Plan
• Equity Incentive Plan
• Annual Company-Wide Bonus: Opportunity for up to 15% bonus based on company performance.
