The listing
Pomelo Care is the leading virtual medical practice for women and children, providing care across pregnancy, postpartum, pediatrics, menopause, and perimenopause. We combine proactive, 24/7 clinical care with technology that helps us reach patients earlier, identify risks sooner, and deliver personalized care throughout their journey. Our team includes clinicians, technologists, operators, and problem-solvers working together to make high-quality care more accessible for families nationwide.
About The Role:
Your north star: Our engineering team is the engine behind our innovative virtual care platform, building AI-powered solutions that fundamentally transform care delivery and create exceptional experiences for both patients and clinicians. If you're passionate about using technology to effect real, tangible good in the world, we'd love to meet you. Security at Pomelo is an engineering problem. This role owns the execution side — the controls, automation, and code that actually reduce risk — with a lot of latitude to decide what matters and ship it. A separate compliance team owns policy and audit; you build the things that make us safer.
This role reports to VP of Engineering and can be based anywhere in the continental US.
What you'll do
Own security problems end to end: navigate ambiguity to decide what matters, build it, ship it independently.
Find the real risks and build the most direct controls that take them off the table.
Build secure-by-default libraries, guardrails, and tooling so dozens of engineers can move fast without footguns.
Define and implement strict least-privilege guardrails across all services to safeguard sensitive patient information and health metrics.
Harden developer machines to minimize the risk of supply chain attacks and Whatever Comes Next from AI.
Partner with compliance to turn control objectives into real controls, and help focus effort on the requirements that genuinely reduce risk and unlock new commercial opportunities (HITRUST, health plan requirements, etc.).
Who you are
You have a strong track record of making organizations measurably safer. That track record is risks you've closed, not tickets you've opened.
You can tell signal from noise, and you spend your time on the risks that actually move the needle.
You're a builder first: 5+ years of software engineering with production-grade code under your belt (Kotlin, Java, Python, Go, C# or similar).
You have real security depth — threat modeling, identity and auth flows, the OWASP Top 10, cloud and supply-chain security.
When something's wrong, your instinct is to understand the actual threat and build the most direct fix — not to go shopping for a product that claims to handle it.
You're looking for room to own more over time — and you're the type to take it, not wait for it.
We'll be super excited if you:
Have built in healthcare and understand HIPAA and HITRUST — and how to satisfy them without drowning engineering in process.
Have experience with Google Cloud Platform and a modern product stack.
Have built internal developer platforms or secure-by-default tooling that other engineers actually adopted.
Have worked in a fast-paced, product-oriented startup.
Why you should join our team

We strive to create an environment where employees from all backgrounds are respected. We value working across disciplines, moving fast, data-driven decision making, learning, and always putting the patient first.
