About the role
We’re looking for a hands-on security leader who sets the security vision and roadmap, represents Knit credibly to customers, auditors, and health-system security reviewers, and personally does the early-stage work of building the program: writing policies, gathering audit evidence, configuring and writing tools, and closing gaps. You’ll lead a cross-functional team spanning operations, engineering, IT, and external partners. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Direct ownership of a HIPAA program and a SOC 2 Type II (or comparable, such as HITRUST or ISO 27001) audit, including personally doing evidence, policy, questionnaire, and contract review work, not only overseeing it
- Strong working knowledge of cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP), identity and access management, and common SaaS security tooling, including the ability to directly review code and infrastructure
- Experience representing security to external audiences (customers, auditors, or partners) including completing security questionnaires and leading review calls
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical risk into terms a non-technical audience (leadership, customers, sales) can act on
- Comfortable operating with significant autonomy in a fast-moving, resource-constrained startup environment. You’re comfortable building directly and energized by being a team of one
- Track record of driving security outcomes through cross-functional teams you don’t directly manage, including engineering and IT, and resolving competing priorities through planning and collaboration
More about this role
Knit Health is building a novel clinical foundation model to improve how healthcare is delivered. We combine expertise in AI with deep clinical knowledge to develop safe, trustworthy systems that improve care, expand access, and reduce waste.
Knit is led by a founding team with roots at the University of California, Berkeley. The team has developed a novel AI architecture designed to reason like physicians. We are now using that foundation model, together with frontier clinical LLMs, to build a next-generation clinical intelligence platform for healthcare providers.
We are venture backed and work with U.S.-based health systems and data providers.
Security and compliance are core to Knit Health's ability to earn the trust of health systems, partners, and patients. We’re bringing on our first enterprise customers, starting with pilots. We've relied on an outsourced virtual CISO, alongside our operations, engineering, and IT teams, to build the foundation. It's now time to bring that leadership in-house.
