The Job
As a key member of Flo’s Security Architecture team, you will lead the design and operation of our US Healthcare security controls. You'll work directly with Product and Engineering teams to translate HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements into technical security controls across Flo's AWS multi-account environment - including EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, VPC networking, IAM, and KMS.
You'll own the roadmap for HIPAA compliance and SOC 2 Type II certification, working closely with external auditors and professional services partners, and partnering with Engineering and Legal to build a secure, compliant platform for millions of users.
Your Experience
Must have:
- 7+ years in security, compliance, or risk management (3+ in a leadership capacity), with a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
- Deep expertise in SOC 2 within the AWS environment (familiarity with HIPAA frameworks would be considered a big plus).
- Familiarity with PHI handling, GRC and compliance automation platforms, and exposure to enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF.
- Strong ability to manage multiple concurrent audit and certification workstreams.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to translate complex compliance requirements into clear actions for engineering and business teams.
Nice to have:

What you'll be doing
You'll be responsible for:

- Vendor Risk Management: Support vendor risk activities including contract reviews and security posture assessments.
- Operational Excellence: Partner with control owners to automate evidence gathering and ensure controls reduce friction rather than creating it.
- Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary Security POC for US regulators and partners; support the wider Security team with ISO 27001/27701 alignment; report risk status to security leadership.
