Software Engineer

We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Security to own application security across our product platform - APIs, integrations, payments infrastructure, and the developer ecosystem built on top of our Synchronizer.

This is a hands-on engineering role, not a compliance or audit function. You’ll write code, design secure systems, review architecture, and embed security into the way we build - working directly alongside product engineering teams from the earliest stages of design. Data is at the center of everything we do, which means the security bar here is high and the work is meaningful. Moreover as a health tech company, we have the highest levels of responsibility towards safeguarding patient and customer data across all the facilities and services NexHealth provides.

You’ll report to engineering leadership and work closely with both product and platform teams.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build secure systems across our APIs, EHR integrations, payments infrastructure, and SaaS products
• Lead threat modeling and security design reviews for new features - embedded in the development process, not bolted on at the end
• Identify and remediate vulnerabilities in application code, dependencies, and infrastructure
• Improve authentication, authorization, and access control systems across our platform (OAuth, RBAC, service-to-service auth)
• Integrate and maintain security tooling in our CI/CD pipelines - SAST, DAST, dependency scanning
• Contribute to secure coding standards, internal libraries, and developer-facing security frameworks
• Support HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance through strong system design and documentation
• Help raise the security bar across the engineering org through code reviews, education, and pairing with developers

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with 1-3+ years focused on application or product security
• Experience building and securing backend systems in Python, Go, Java, or similar languages
• Solid understanding of common vulnerabilities and mitigations (OWASP Top 10 and beyond)
• Hands-on experience securing APIs and implementing authentication/authorization systems (OAuth 2.0, JWT, RBAC)
• Experience working in cloud environments - we run on AWS and Google Cloud
• Familiarity with security tooling: SAST, DAST, dependency scanning
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience, Access Authorization, Access Control, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Application Programming Interface (API), Applications Security, Authentication, Cloud Computing, Code Reviews, Coding Standards, Computer Programming, Computer Science, Computer Security, Continuous Deployment/Delivery, Continuous Integration, Customer/Client Research, Diversity, Diving, Documentation, Ecosystems, Embedded Systems, Food Delivery, Funding, Go Programming Language (Golang), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), Healthcare, Identify Issues, Java, Juniper Networks M-Series, Leadership, Machine Tool, Medical Record System, Multiplatform/Cross-Platform, OAuth, Product Engineering, Python Programming/Scripting Language, Secure Coding, Security Architecture, Security Design, Software Engineering, Software as a Service (SaaS), System Architecture, Threat Modeling

Our Values

• Solve the customer’s problems, not yours

When making decisions, think from the perspective of the customer. It’s easy to make decisions that make our lives simpler, but not the customers.

• Do the things others are not willing to do

As a Nexer, always go after the hardest problems. Pursue things at the highest quality. Move at the fastest pace.

• Take ownership

Act like a founder. Own your roles, destinies, mistakes, behavior, and our mission. The buck stops with each of us - no blaming or excuses.

• Say what’s on your mind, with positive intent

Be direct, proactive, transparent, and frequent in your communication.

• Default trust

As a Nexer, you do not have to earn trust, trust is given to you by default. If we by default trust each other, our speed of communication, feedback, information sharing, and overall improvements will be a lot faster.

• Think in first principles

We first identify the problem and then break it down to its fundamentals before diving into solutions. We constantly ask “why” to validate our assumptions.
