## About the role

Ambience runs real-time clinical workflows inside some of the country’s most security-sensitive health systems. Security can’t be bolted on—it must be engineered into the product. This is a senior technical role focused on how Ambience designs, builds, and operates secure products. You’ll bring deep product security expertise and a strong software engineering foundation while extending your impact into cloud security as our AWS environment evolves.

## What they're looking for

- Cloud security fluency or aptitude. You have working knowledge of cloud security concepts such as IAM, network architecture, workload isolation, secrets, and logging—or a demonstrated ability to develop that expertise quickly
- Offensive validation instincts. You can reproduce vulnerabilities, conduct targeted dynamic testing, build proof-of-concept exploits, and distinguish exploitable risk from theoretical concern
- Demonstrated influence. You’ve helped engineering teams understand, prioritize, remediate, and verify material security risks
- Tooling ownership. You’ve owned security tooling or automation beyond deployment, including integration, tuning, triage, maintenance, and evaluation
- Based in the Bay Area and able to work from our San Francisco office three days per week
