Founding Security Engineer

As a Founding Security Engineer at Forus, you will build the security foundation for a company using AI to remove the barriers between patients and medicine. Our platform handles protected health information and powers time-sensitive access workflows across providers, payers, and life sciences partners. Security is therefore both a technical requirement and a prerequisite for earning the trust that lets us scale.

This is a broad, deeply technical role. You will own cloud and infrastructure security across AWS and GCP, build security into the product, secure how our AI systems handle sensitive data, and establish detection and incident response, including the audit trails that show how protected data is accessed. As our first security engineer, you will make foundational architecture decisions, build the secure primitives other engineers use, and set the technical bar for how Forus scales.

This is a demanding role, with a high level of autonomy and responsibility. You will be expected to act like an owner and commit yourself to Forus’ success. If you are low-ego, hungry to learn, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and accelerated career progression, we want to hear from you.
