## Job description

## Why Translucent

Healthcare providers drive $2.5 trillion in medical expenditures annually — and operate on razor-thin 2–5% margins. Despite these stakes, the finance teams behind these organizations are buried in spreadsheets, manual data pulls, and disconnected systems, spending more time finding and cleaning data than actually using it to make decisions.

Translucent is changing that. We're building the agentic AI platform designed exclusively for healthcare finance— giving every finance team, department, service line their own arsenal of AI Agents that run 24/7, understand their specific data, business logic, and workflows.

Founded in 2024 and backed by GV, NEA, FPV, and Virtue, we've already been deployed by healthcare organizations managing over $5 billion in combined revenue. The product-market fit is real, the problem is massive, and we're just getting started. If you want to work at the intersection of AI and one of the most complex, consequential industries in the world — this is the place.

## About the role

We're hiring a Senior Security Engineer in New York to own security and compliance across our IT and software development practices at the frontier of LLM-agentic product development. You'll join the platform technology organization as its primary security engineer, building and maintaining security infrastructure in GCP and across our sub-processors. Partnering closely with platform and product engineers, you'll keep our core deployed systems secure and well-tested, define internal security standards, and evaluate and audit the technologies the company adopts. In short, you'll enable us to move fast with emerging technology without compromising on security.

- Manage SecOps software in GCP and Vanta.
- Continually monitor, analyze and improve our deployed software’s security posture
- Validate software is correct, secure, and maintains customer privacy

- Maintain a database of core security artifacts, document processes and help manage security work
- Build the data and AI governance framework for internal operations
- Select and audit technologies for use internally in operating the business

## Core Business

- **Mission/purpose**: Automate manual data work so healthcare finance teams can focus on moving the margin, giving hospitals the financial clarity to thrive while delivering excellent patient care.

## Products & Services
- **Translucent Platform**: A unified SaaS platform that connects six domains of financial truth – Claims, Labor, Clinical Output, P&L, Budget & Forecasts, and Contract Economics. AI agents analyze millions of scenarios in real time, delivering full traceability from enterprise totals to individual transactions. The platform enables finance teams to act on current data instead of waiting for month-end reports.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $34M (Seed $7M led by NEA in September 2025; Series A $27M led by GV in March 2026)

- **Force multiplication**: Customers report 97% of routine financial analysis completed without manual effort, 56% increase in charges from the same provider cohort, and 17% increase in finance team capacity without adding headcount.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale the financial operating system for healthcare, deepening integration with health systems and expanding the agentic AI capabilities to cover more financial workflows. Recent Series A funding will accelerate product development and go-to-market.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Values include “Iterate with Urgency” (ship real vs. perfect), “Default to Lean” (constraints as creative fuel), “Focus Relentlessly” (say no to good ideas), “Own the Outcome” (full responsibility), “Earn & Extend Trust” (transparency), and “Share Context Freely.”
- **Work environment**: NYC preferred for most roles; hybrid/office policy not explicitly stated but headquarters in New York.
