About the role

We are looking for a Security Engineer to help build and strengthen security foundations from the ground up in a fast-moving startup environment, with a primary focus on detection and response. This is a strong opportunity for someone early in their career who brings a strong interest in security monitoring, incident response, and detection engineering and is excited to work across these areas as the company scales.

What they're looking for

  • A security profile with strong exposure to detection and response, rather than a narrow specialization elsewhere
  • Strong interest in security monitoring, incident response, and modern observability stacks, with the ability to understand technical environments and identify meaningful security improvements
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment where priorities can shift and the workload can be intense
  • A high degree of ownership, autonomy, and initiative, with the ability to make progress in environments that are still being built
  • Willingness to learn quickly, stay open-minded, and adapt to new projects or unfamiliar problem spaces as business needs evolve
  • Ability to work cross-functionally and build productive relationships with teams across the company
More about this role

Every time you call a doctor's office, the system forgets you the moment you hang up. You wait on hold, explain everything from scratch, get bounced between lines, and hope someone follows up. Everyone has felt this. No one should have to.

At Assort Health, we're building one continuous conversation for every patient. An AI agent that knows who you are, remembers how you like to be reached, and carries that context from your first symptom to your full recovery. What began as the first voice AI agent to schedule a specialty appointment has become the largest proprietary specialty dataset in healthcare: 270 million patient interactions, 62,000 care protocols, 1.6 million decision pathways.

We went from 15 people in 2025 and will cross 250 by the end of 2026. Revenue is up 20x in 15 months and we've raised $222 million, including a recent $120 million Series C at a $1.2 billion valuation. We've also been named to the Forbes Cloud 100 and the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30 as the only healthcare AI company on the list!

Healthcare spends $1.1 trillion a year on administration instead of care. If you want to help change that, apply below.
