We are value-driven, agile in practice and philosophy, constantly innovating and improving our processes and tech stack, and committed to self-governing teams within a matrixed leadership structure. We are passionate about solution delivery as a principle, entailing greater transparency and accountability for what is being delivered, decreasing risks faster, delivering organizational value sooner, and maximizing the flexibility and responsiveness of digital solutions to our customers' evolving business needs. We serve the California Department of Health Care Services, which provides equitable access to quality health care for a third of Californians, leading to a healthy California for all.

Join the Department of Healthcare Services (DHCS) as a Senior Security Engineering Manager, where you'll lead the security transformation protecting sensitive healthcare data for 14 million Californians against nation-state actors and sophisticated cyber threats. As a Senior Security Engineering Manager, you'll command a multidisciplinary security force spanning security engineering, SecOps, compliance, and penetration testing. This role transcends traditional security management – you'll architect zero-trust environments, orchestrate threat hunting operations, and build security programs that enable innovation rather than inhibit it.

DHCS offers the unique challenge of securing healthcare systems with nation-state level threats while maintaining the agility of a tech startup. You'll have comprehensive ownership across the security spectrum, from writing infrastructure-as-code for security controls to briefing executives on risk posture. You'll build a security organization that shifts from reactive compliance to proactive cyber resilience.
