#LI-REMOTE

Surescripts embraces flexibility through its Flexible Hybrid Work model for most positions. This model allows employees to work virtually while still utilizing our offices as collaboration centers. With alignment and agreement from your leadership, you can come and go from the office as needed.

You're technical. Analytical. Imaginative. Maybe you're building your own crypto-mining rig-or not. Either way, your mind works to anticipate vulnerabilities and protect the company and its information against those vulnerabilities. You do the right thing because it's the right thing without seeking to point fingers or brag. And of course, you're always willing to keep learning.

We're a team of friendly folks who do serious work. Our best work is done by rising to the occasion under stress, but we keep each other cool under pressure. We're a tight team but we also look for ways to partner across the business. Our style is casual and laid back, but we shoulder our responsibility to protect patient data from sophisticated adversaries, which sometimes means delivering a difficult truth.

Our challenge is to protect our customers' data and our company. This requires anomaly analysis, risk reviews, pen testing of our controls, red-teaming and tabletops, policy and procedure work, documentation, and audits. We also engineer and maintain our security products and tools. It's not always a typical 9-to-5 gig, of course, but then again, you work in information security, so you already know that.

Why Wait?

We're a midsize company. This means you're not just another employee ID number. Here, you can build real relationships and feel supported by truly awesome people with diverse backgrounds and talents in an innovative and collaborative work cu.
