Senior Security Engineer

Job Overview

About Pair Team Pair Team is building a new kind of healthcare system across Medicaid, Medicare, and public assistance programs: one that recognizes that access to housing, nutritious food, and reliable transportation are just as critical to health as having the right medications or seeing a doctor.

As a public benefit corporation and AI-enabled medical group, we partner with shelters, food pantries, and community organizations to deliver “whole-person” care to the 115 million Americans who rely on the safety net.

Job Description

We are currently the largest complex care provider in California with over 500 employees and are expanding nationally.

Our model replaces fragmented healthcare and social services systems with one trusted relationship for all medical, behavioral, and social needs. We improve access, build trust, and dramatically lower costs (52% fewer ER visits, 26% fewer hospitalizations).

Our model is a rare combination of saving tax payer dollars ($150B annually at scale) while putting people on an upward life trajectory. At national scale, this approach would save taxpayers.

As our platform, AI capabilities, and regulatory footprint continue to grow, we're looking for our first dedicated Security Engineer to help scale our security posture alongside the business. This is a highly hands-on engineering role.
