About Hinge Health

The #1 clinic for joint & muscle pain. Join today and take control of your pain with access to our personalized virtual physical therapy program. Backed by Bessemer and Insight.

About the role

Join the team securing the platform that helps millions of people move beyond musculoskeletal pain. As Hinge Health's engineering organization embraces AI-assisted development — including AI-powered code generation, automated PR review workflows, agent sandboxing, and MCP gateway integrations — we need a Lead Security Engineer who will build the security guardrails, tooling, and standards that ensure we ship with confidence.

What they're looking for

  • A Security-First Thinker : You instinctively design systems that are secure by default, and you know how to balance security rigor with engineering velocity
  • An AI-Savvy Engineer : You're energized (not intimidated) by the rapid adoption of AI-assisted development and see it as an opportunity to build novel security frameworks
  • A Trust Builder : You communicate effectively across engineering, compliance, and leadership teams — authoring clear, plain-spoken technical proposals that drive alignment
  • A Learn-it-all : You stay ahead of emerging threats and continuously evolve your approach — from adversarial ML to supply chain attacks on AI pipelines
  • A Leader at All Levels : You're hands-on in code and architecture, but you also mentor others and help the team self-organize around measurable outcomes
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical, engineering, or scientific field — or comparable education/experience
