## Job description

## About Sage Care

Sage Care is a fast growing, early stage healthcare startup transforming care navigation with AI. Our platform helps patients find the right care, enables providers to focus on the people who need them most, and improves access, quality, and economic outcomes at scale. Founded by leaders from Apple, Uber, and Carbon Health, Sage Care is backed by top tier investors including General Catalyst and Chelsea Clinton. We work with health systems across the U.S. and have expanded internationally to the MENA region.

## About the Role

Hospitals trust Sage with patient data, and every new health system brings security reviews and audits. As our first dedicated Security Engineer, you'll own security and compliance across our platform, applications, identity, and SaaS footprint, and you'll share ownership of the GCP and Kubernetes infrastructure that runs it. You'll set the guidelines engineering and product teams follow, implement the controls that matter most yourself, and be the technical voice in front of customer security teams. You'll report to the Head of Core Platform, Infrastructure and Security, who serves as Sage's Security Officer and HIPAA Lead.

## What You'll Do

- Run our compliance program: SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA safeguards, risk assessments, vendor BAAs, and pen test remediation, with Vanta as the system of record. Extend it to HITRUST and international requirements as we grow.
- Lead customer security reviews, questionnaires, and audits with hospital IT and security teams across all customers, in the U.S. and MENA.
- Set security guidelines for engineering: secure design review for new services, application security standards, dependency and code scanning, and secrets handling. Decide what must be done and work with teams to get it done.
- Own governance of identity and access: Auth0, Google Workspace, SSO and MFA, access reviews, and least privilege across cloud and SaaS.
- Build and operate infrastructure alongside the DevOps team: GCP, GKE, Terraform, and CI/CD, with IAM hardening, network controls, and policy as code built in.
- Govern PHI: access policy, audit logging, retention, and security review of new data flows, including BigQuery.
- Own detection and incident response: logging and alerting, runbooks, and the breach notification process.
- Secure our AI agents: threat model prompt injection, tool misuse, and sensitive data disclosure in voice and LLM workflows.

## What We're Looking For

Required

- 5+ years in security engineering or infrastructure with security ownership.
- Hands on SOC 2 and HIPAA experience in production environments, with Vanta, Drata, or similar.
- Application security experience: secure code review, threat modeling, and CI/CD scanning.
- Identity and access management experience with Auth0, Okta, or similar, and SSO/MFA across SaaS.
- Strong GCP or AWS security, plus Kubernetes and Terraform in production.
- Proficient in Python, and able to read and review code in TypeScript and Java; Rust a plus.
- Clear communication with engineers, auditors, and customer security teams; comfortable leading customer facing reviews.
- Stand up auditable, policy based access control and dynamic secrets management (HashiCorp Vault or equivalent) for services, infrastructure, and engineers.

## Nice to Have

- Healthcare experience handling PHI.
- HITRUST, ISO 27001, or UAE or other international healthcare compliance.
- Securing LLM or voice AI products.
- Experience as an early or first security hire at a startup.

## How We Work

At Sage Care, our values shape how we build, collaborate, and serve.

- Do Good Through Serving People: We serve users, teammates, and communities with integrity, compassion, kindness, and optimism.
- Innovate with Safety, Evidence, and Transparency: We move quickly while prioritizing trust, safety, ethical decision making, and evidence based approaches.
- Lead with Curiosity and Kindness: We ask questions before making assumptions and approach discovery, debate, and problem solving with humility and care.
- We, Not Me: We believe the best work happens through collaboration, mutual respect, and constructive feedback.
- Efficiency and AI in All We Do: We use automation and AI thoughtfully to work smarter, create leverage, and build better products.

## About Sage Care Inc

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Sage Care builds an AI-powered care navigation platform that helps health systems triage, schedule, and connect patients to the right care more efficiently.
- **Entity Type**: Private (venture-backed, early-stage)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, CA (likely – not explicitly stated; team background suggests Bay Area)
- **Founded**: Not publicly available
- **Founders**: Justin Ho (CEO), Dr. Caesar Djavaherian (Chief Medical Officer), Chris Blumenberg (CTO) — repeat entrepreneurs with prior exits from Carbon Health, rideOS, and Uber

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Healthcare technology (care navigation, patient access, clinical operations)
- **Target customers**: Health systems, hospitals, and provider organizations (B2B)
- **Mission or purpose**: “Make healthcare more efficient and scalable” by eliminating operational inefficiencies that frustrate patients and providers, and ensuring patients get the right care at the right time ([sage.care/about-us](https://www.sage.care/about-us))

## Products & Services
- **Sage (Care Navigation OS)**: An AI-powered platform that orchestrates patient calls, triage, and scheduling. Core modules include:
  - **AI-powered patient support**: Automates routine patient inquiries via call or text with human-like responses and SOP execution.
  - **Clinically informed copilot**: Provides real-time triage recommendations and automated documentation for clinical staff.
  - **Intelligent provider & patient matching**: Aligns patient needs with provider preferences to reduce no-shows and optimize schedules, utilization, and revenue.
Product type: SaaS / API-based healthcare operations platform ([sage.care](https://www.sage.care/))

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding not publicly available; notable metrics from leadership background include scaling Carbon Health to 138 clinics and over $200M in annual revenue, and building rideOS’s dispatch system that improved Gopuff’s profitability by $450M+ annually.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Mentioned as “backed by transformative investors” but names not disclosed. Customers include Bronson Healthcare and Jiva Health.
- **Growth Signals**: Team consists of repeat entrepreneurs with $1B+ in cumulative exits; platform is “trusted by leading health care systems”; actively hiring across multiple roles.

## Competitive Advantages

- **Clinically grounded design**: Tools are built in partnership with healthcare teams, incorporating evidence-based protocols and user feedback to ensure safety and practicality.
- **Human-centric AI**: Focus on empathetic, efficient interactions – not just automation – which differentiates from “clunky” alternatives (per customer quotes).

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Scaling AI-driven care navigation to reduce administrative burden, improve patient access, and drive operational efficiency for health systems. Expanding platform capabilities and deepening integrations with existing health system workflows.
- **Direction for growth**: Continuing to invest in AI that “eases staff workload” and “gets patients to the right care faster,” with an emphasis on evidence, safety, and transparency.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: Described as “a culture of innovation and impact” where employees tackle “complex, meaningful problems with real healthcare impact.” Values include collaboration over individual credit, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to improving healthcare.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Not explicitly stated; job postings (via Ashby) and language like “We’re looking for people who care deeply” suggest a remote-friendly or hybrid environment typical of early-stage tech.
- **Notable perks**: “Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits” are called out on the careers page. Team includes former engineers from Apple, Uber, and Carbon Health, offering a steep learning curve in AI and healthcare.
- **Engineering culture**: Emphasis on building “systems that are clinically grounded” and “shaped by user feedback” – a blend of technical rigor and real-world impact.
