We're looking for a Senior/Lead Security Engineer to lead HIPAA and FedRAMP/NIST 800-53 compliance efforts, turning regulatory requirements into concrete engineering tasks while supporting third-party audits and collaborating across security, privacy, and legal teams.

Responsibilities

- Convert HIPAA gap analyses, NIST 800-53 privacy controls, and audit findings into scoped Azure DevOps Features/Stories/Tasks with defined acceptance criteria, effort estimates, and an assigned owner
- Keep the backlog organized across active compliance features, covering access control, data classification, log scrubbing, audit logging, data retention & deletion, and data access restrictions
- Develop and run test cases to confirm controls function as intended, including privileged-access restrictions, time-bound SailPoint access, PII minimization, and deletion-on-request, and record pass/fail results
- Manage the intake, tracking, and completion of evidence requests from third-party auditors, such as Schellman FedRAMP Significant Change Reviews
- Link each audit request to its corresponding NIST 800-53 control and work with engineering, ISRM, Privacy,



and Legal to collect artifacts and meet auditor deadlines
- Deliver regular compliance status updates to stakeholders
- Create lightweight automation—scripts, dashboards, and evidence pipelines—to cut down manual work in future audits as the program expands to new clients and jurisdictions
- Collaborate with ISRM, Privacy Office, Legal, SRE, and cloud platform teams to document which controls are inherited from AWS/Azure versus those that need to be built or maintained internally

Requirements

- 6-15 years of overall IT experience
- Background in security/privacy compliance, GRC, or compliance engineering, with support for HIPAA and/or FedRAMP/NIST 800-53 programs
- Understanding of the HIPAA Security & Privacy Rules, including administrative/physical/technical safeguards, BAAs, breach notification, and minimum necessary standards, along with NIST 800-53 control families like AC, AU, SI, and PM
- Proven ability to convert compliance/regulatory language into scoped, estimable backlog items using Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar tools
- Hands-on experience supporting third-party audits such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, or HITRUST, including evidence collection, control-to-evidence mapping, and meeting auditor deadlines
- Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS GovCloud and/or Azure Government, plus controls like IAM/RBAC,



encryption/KMS, audit logging, and data retention & deletion

Nice to have

- Hands-on experience with FedRAMP Significant Change Requests (SCR) and assessor engagements
- Scripting/automation skills in Python or Bash for automating evidence collection, control testing, or compliance dashboards
- Experience with AWS IAM/identity governance tools like SailPoint or equivalent, and managing access policies across S3, RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift
- Knowledge of international privacy regimes such as UK/EU GDPR, Australia Privacy Act, or Canada PIPEDA, or willingness to quickly learn as coverage grows
- Relevant certifications: CIPP/US, CIPM, HCISPP, CISA, CISSP, or an AWS/Azure security certification
- Experience with security-scan remediation tracking tools such as Snyk, Wiz, Qualys, or Burp, along with secrets/certificate rotation programs
- Background supporting legal-tech, healthcare, or government SaaS products that handle regulated data

We offer

- Prospect to work on technical challenges that may impact across geographies
- Vast opportunities for self-development: online university, knowledge sharing opportunities globally, learning opportunities through external certifications
- Opportunity to share your ideas on international platforms
- Sponsored Tech Talks & Hackathons
- Unlimited access to LinkedIn learning solutions
- Possibility to relocate to any EPAM office for short and long-term projects
- Focused individual development
- Benefit package:
- Health benefits
- Retirement benefits
- Paid time off
- Flexible benefits

- Forums to explore beyond work passion (CSR, photography, painting, sports, etc.)
