ABOUT THE ROLE
As the Security Operations Engineer at Hopscotch, you will lead and manage core security and compliance controls for the business using modern methods and tools, reporting to and working closely with the Security Officer. Your expertise and insights will contribute to maintaining and building our security and compliance initiatives while helping shape the security strategy for deployment across our clinics and offices. You will own end-to-end execution and management of projects that directly impact the organization’s ability to deliver care to patients.
For today’s modern world of security - you'll need ingenuity to identify where agentic AI can accelerate evidence collection, interpret unstructured data, triage compliance gaps, and augment human judgment in risk assessments. Working closely with Product, Engineering, and Ops teams, you'll translate compliance, operational, and regulatory requirements into solutions that support audit programs including HIPAA, building systems that combine traditional automation with AI capabilities to achieve scale that wouldn't otherwise be possible
RESPONSIBILITIES
Near-term focus areas for this role will include, but are not limited to:
Manage the enterprise security program.
- Define systems security requirements, architecture, and policies according to regulatory and business requirements.
- Own Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of all systems, services, and technologies.
- Develop roadmaps for technology domains to improve operational and security posture.

- Design compartmentalization and data-governance models that scale with the company.
- Conduct secure design reviews and threat modeling; identify and prioritize risks, attack surfaces, and vulnerabilities.
- Translate written policies into policy-as-code—working with Engineering, Product, and Ops to express requirements as enforceable rules, automated checks, and continuous validation – not just static documents.
- Establish feedback loops between policy and implementation: surface where controls diverge from written requirements and where policies need to evolve based on infrastructure realities.
Build automation, AI, and integrations that scale compliance.
- Design and build automated workflows for risk management and compliance, enabling continuous monitoring as Hopscotch grows.
- Build data pipelines that aggregate risk, control, and asset information across the tech stack—mapping disparate schemas, handling inconsistent data quality, and creating unified views of compliance posture through dashboards and reporting.
- Build integrations and automation against SaaS APIs to automate provisioning and catch drift.
- Design and maintain integrations connecting security tooling with cloud infrastructure, identity management, HRIS, ticketing, version control, and pipelines for automated evidence collection and continuous compliance validation.
- Design and deploy agentic AI workflows that extend team capacity - serving as a virtual analyst to automate evidence analysis, monitor control effectiveness, draft audit responses, and interpret policy documents.
Run daily security operations.
- SOC / SIEM / IPS monitoring, alerting, and response.
- Network, email, and endpoint detection and response.
- Configuration baselining and assessment.
- Security education and awareness.

- Configure the application side of SSO connections and SCIM attribute mappings.
- Facilitate and manage security vendor/partner relationships, including Managed Detection and Response (MXDR) and Identity & Access Management (IAM).
