RemoteRemote

AI Summary

A Senior Software Engineer designs and implements scalable security infrastructure for Cadence's clinical AI platform, embedding compliance, risk controls, and secure integration across cloud, Kubernetes, and healthcare partner systems.

About this role

Sixty million Medicare seniors live with chronic disease. The care system sees most of them twice a year. Cadence is building the infrastructure to support them every day.

Cadence is a clinical AI company that delivers continuous, proactive care for older adults with chronic conditions like hypertension, heart failure, and diabetes. We pair patients with a dedicated clinical team, integrate deeply into health system EMRs and workflows, and use our Clinical Intelligence platform to monitor vitals, surface risk early, optimize medications, and close care gaps between visits. The result: patients engage with care 100x more than before Cadence, clinicians focus on judgment instead of administrative work, and Medicare saves $2M a week.

We operate as a full clinical care delivery organization, not a software vendor. Our clinicians work alongside health system partners, extending the reach of local primary care providers into patients' homes. We're now applying AI agents across these workflows – from alert review and medication titration to lifestyle coaching and care coordination – with clinicians always in control of clinical decisions.

The Role

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Security Infrastructure to build scalable security infrastructure that embeds compliance and risk controls directly into the Cadence platform. You will solve complex security challenges such as data classification, AI governance, GRC automation, and secure integration with healthcare partners and external systems.

What You'll Do

Embed directly within Product and Platform Engineering teams to implement security-critical features and components of Cadence's platform, and drive teams toward secure architectural and implementation decisions as needed.
Build security capabilities that differentiate Cadence and influence the broader healthcare ecosystem, including reusable security primitives, contributions to open standards and open-source initiatives, and partnerships with customers and vendors to raise the bar for privacy, interoperability, and secure AI adoption.
Design and implement security controls across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD systems, endpoints, identity systems, secrets management, and broader platform security primitives to keep core systems secure.
Build AI governance processes, frameworks, and safeguards that help ensure Cadence's AI systems are safe, reliable, fair, and aligned with patient safety outcomes.

What You Need

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
3+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years building and shipping real systems or infrastructure.
Strong ability to navigate and reason across the stack - quickly understanding unfamiliar codebases, architectures, and tooling ecosystems.
Ability to identify patterns and design scalable “golden paths” (e.g., logging, access controls, network security) that work across teams.
Effective communicator who translates technical findings into clear designs, builds alignment, and drives initiatives from concept to execution.
Demonstrated interest in security and the ability to think adversarially - approaching system design with rigor, considering failure modes, and leveraging modern tools to accelerate solutions.
