YC-backed startup Metriport is hiring a senior security engineer to harden its open-source healthcare data platform. The role, based in San Francisco, focuses on securing infrastructure for handling patient data across major US healthcare IT systems. The company serves over 100 customers and has reached multi-million ARR.

This hire comes as healthcare data interoperability faces increased scrutiny. Metriport's platform, built on Node.js and React, must ensure robust HIPAA compliance and SOC 2 readiness. The security engineer will drive full-stack projects, from audit logging to access controls, directly impacting the platform's trustworthiness and scalability.

The position requires 6+ years of experience, AWS proficiency, and a hacker's mindset. With founders working six days a week, the team values output over prestige. This move signals Metriport's scaling phase, prioritizing security as it expands its customer base and data integrations for 300+ million individuals.
