What is a Security Engineer at Datavant?
At Datavant, the mission is to connect the world's health data while strictly protecting patient privacy. As a Security Engineer, you are at the absolute center of this mission. You are responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the secure infrastructure and data-sharing protocols that protect highly sensitive health information for hundreds of millions of patients. This is not a typical perimeter-defense security role; it requires a deep understanding of cryptography, data de-identification, secure multi-party computation, and robust cloud architecture.
The impact of this position is immense. A single security vulnerability could compromise critical health registries, clinical trial data, or provider networks. Consequently, the systems you build and defend must be resilient against highly sophisticated threat actors. You will work closely with engineering, product, and legal teams to ensure that security is integrated into every stage of the software development lifecycle, enabling Datavant to remain the trusted infrastructure for healthcare data connectivity.
This role is both technically challenging and strategically influential. You will be expected to make high-stakes decisions about data access controls, threat mitigation, and privacy-preserving technologies. If you thrive on solving complex, real-world security challenges where patient privacy is the ultimate metric of success, this position offers an unparalleled opportunity for professional growth and impact.
