Sr Product Security Architect

What We’re Looking For

As a Sr Product Security Architect at Datavant, you will play a key role in shaping the security posture of our products. You will lead secure architecture and design reviews across Datavant’s portfolio of applications, ensuring that security is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle. Partnering closely with engineering teams, product leadership, and compliance stakeholders, you will provide expert guidance on risk mitigation, make prioritized and actionable security recommendations, and help translate complex regulatory and compliance requirements into practical technical controls.

What You Will Do

• Review projects our development teams build. This will mean putting eyes on code through secure code reviews as well as working with the teams to understand the broad architecture of systems being built. You’ll be very comfortable providing control feedback in a review environment to development teams. This role is not merely a +1, you’ll be adept at using your knowledge to the application of practical risk management.
• Own and conduct security/threat model reviews and provide expertise on security architecture-related topics.
• Own new projects for advancing security in our environment. Be the deep technical expert and collaborate with others on the teams to ensure project success. Your impact here cannot be understated, you are a core contributor and have deep influence to empower Datavant greatness.
• Help facilitate quarterly planning discussions by providing strategic prioritization of all security-related requests, including (but not limited to) architectural feedback, vulnerability remediation, compliance control implementation, etc.
• Be fearless in security control descriptions and writing process related elements down. The processes you build are not a castle of tone deaf documentation but a method of enabling development teams to move faster with more clarity.

What You Need to Succeed

• You have hands-on experience developing in multiple programming languages.You demonstrate strong command of programming and can quickly adapt to new technologies as needed.
• Have a deep understanding of Application and Cloud security. You’ll use this knowledge to provide architectural reviews and contributions to our development teams.
• Have a strong understanding of security controls, both those that exist in audit standards as well as practical controls that can help reduce risk and increase safety in application development environments and AWS and/or Azure.
• Ability to understand the tradeoffs between ideal security and what is necessary to appropriately secure a legacy system
• You are heavily focused on delivery and being impactful; Understand how to operate and succeed in a very fast-paced environment where the security team should be a partner and enabler for the engineering team rather than a blocker.
• 6+ years of working in architectural and threat modeling review areas.
• 6+ years of working with compliance standards. We lean deeply into individuals who have experience and have practical knowledge of applying standards in low friction ways.
• Proficiency in leveraging AI tooling to optimize work efficiency and workflows.
• Knowledge of AI platforms, AI/MCP (Model Context Protocol), and Model Gateways.

What Helps You Stand Out

• You have experience with security in healthcare or other highly regulated space. Examples: HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, PCI, FedRamp experience from an operational response standpoint.
