Who We Are
Ro is a direct-to-patient healthcare company with a mission of helping as many patients as possible achieve their health goals. Ro is the only company to offer telehealth care, at-home diagnostic testing, labs, and pharmacy services nationwide. This is enabled by Ro's vertically integrated platform that helps patients achieve their goals through a convenient end-to-end healthcare experience spanning from diagnosis, to delivery of medication, to ongoing care. Since 2017, Ro has helped millions of patients in nearly every single county in the United States, including 98% of primary care deserts.
Ro was recognized as a CNBC Disruptor 50 in 2022, listed by Inc. Magazine as a Best Place to Work in 2022 for our third consecutive year, and named one of FORTUNE's 2022 Best Medium Workplaces.

You are a security expert and lifelong learner, well-versed in the latest threats. You are a leader that has a track record of achieving alignment with product and engineering teams, mitigating risks while enabling the business. You subscribe to the shift-left security philosophy, enabling engineers and developers to be secure and mitigate risks early in the software development lifecycle.

  • Conduct risk assessments of digital healthcare products and underlying platform components, identifying potential vulnerabilities and recommending risk mitigation strategies.
  • Lead the threat modeling, application security, vulnerability disclosure, bug bounty, and client-side security programs.
  • Build, maintain, and execute a robust security education program. Provide training, brownbags, secure code examples, and self-help resources that enable developers to deliver magic.
