Design and develop user interfaces for cybersecurity platforms, conduct usability testing, and document processes to support hospital IT teams.
About the Opportunity
About the opportunity:Join a mission-driven team developing advanced cybersecurity platforms that protect hospitals and clinics from cybersecurity threats. This position will help build Whole-Hospital Simulations (WHS)—realistic testbeds that emulate healthcare environments—and Vulnerability Mitigation Platforms (VMPs) that safeguard medical devices and both clinical and non-clinical networks. The work will directly impact patient safety and digital resilience in some of the most vulnerable healthcare settings. If successful, your engineering will revolutionize the healthcare pen testing marketplace to shift from compliance-based thinking to “how gracefully does your hospital fail and how quickly recover when under attack” thinking. The platforms will also cause a paradigm shift in the medical device security regulatory frameworks to shift evaluations from component-level thinking of individual medical devices to whole-hospital system thinking of oodles of interacting medical devices and more.- Reports to the Technical Lead and Program Manager.
- Works closely with cross-functional teams including system architects, cybersecurity researchers, hospital liaisons, and software engineers.
- May mentor junior UI developers or interns as needed.
- Participates in regular program reviews, sprint planning, and stakeholder engagement sessions.
● 3+ years of experience in UI/UX design and front-end development for complex systems.

● Experience with data visualization tools and libraries (e.g., D3.js, Chart.js).
● Familiarity with backend integration (RESTful APIs, GraphQL).
● Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
● Prior experience in healthcare, cybersecurity, or simulation environments is a plus.Documents required:ResumeCover letter
