At Fullscript, we’re not just changing healthcare—we’re making it whole.
We help 100,000+ healthcare practitioners support 10 million patients with a platform that delivers evidence-based health solutions, diagnostic support, and practitioner tools—all in one place.
Healthcare today is disconnected. We’re fixing that. Fullscript makes it easier for practitioners to treat the whole person, not just symptoms, so patients get the support they need—when they need it.
We’re building a better way—one where healthcare is connected, complete, and built for impact.
The Role
We’re looking for an experienced Lead Security Engineer to help shape and strengthen Fullscript’s security posture. You’ll play a key role in embedding security across our development lifecycle, leading initiatives in DevSecOps, AppSec, GRC, security operations, and incident response.
This is an opportunity to tackle real-world security challenges, develop scalable security strategies, and work cross-functionally to ensure security is built into everything we do.
What You'll Do:
Great work happens when people are supported, challenged, and inspired. Here, you’ll be part of a team that:
⬦ Values innovation—we push boundaries and always look for better ways.
⬦ Supports growth—through learning, mentorship, and meaningful work.
⬦ Cares about balance—with flexible work options and time off when you need it.
Apply now—let’s build the future of healthcare, together.
Fullscript is an equal-opportunity employer committed to creating an inclusive workplace. Accommodations are available upon request—email [email protected] for support.
Before joining the team, all candidates who receive and accept an offer will complete a background check.
