HIPAA Security Engineer
We are seeking a HIPAA Security Engineer to help protect sensitive health information and strengthen the security of systems, applications, and infrastructure that support healthcare operations. In this role, you will design, implement, and maintain security controls aligned with HIPAA, HITECH, NIST, and other applicable privacy and security standards. You will work closely with information technology, compliance, engineering, and operational teams to identify risks, improve safeguards, and support the secure delivery of business and clinical services.
Key responsibilities include conducting security risk assessments, vulnerability reviews, and control evaluations; monitoring security events and supporting incident response activities; and contributing to the investigation, containment, and remediation of potential breaches. You will help maintain policies, procedures, risk registers, evidence repositories, and audit documentation, while supporting internal and external assessments. The role will also involve reviewing access controls, encryption, logging, endpoint protection, network security, cloud configurations, and third-party security practices. You will recommend practical improvements, track remediation actions, and help ensure that security requirements are incorporated into system designs and technology changes.
The successful candidate will have experience in healthcare security, privacy engineering, compliance, or a closely related field, with a strong understanding of HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules. Practical knowledge of security frameworks such as NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, CIS Controls, or HITRUST is desirable. Experience with vulnerability management, security information and event management tools, identity and access management, cloud platforms, and security automation is advantageous. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, Security+, HCISPP, or a comparable qualification are welcome. Strong analytical, documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to explain technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
