Application Engineer

About the Role

You'll be the software engineer embedded in Parachute Health's IT & Security team, building the internal platforms, automations, and AI-powered workflows that keep our healthcare technology environment secure, compliant, and operationally efficient.

You'll write code that touches on identity, endpoint, network, cloud security, compliance, evidence collection, and incident response in an environment governed by HITRUST, SOC 1, and SOC 2.

Responsibilities

Internal tooling & automation

• Design, develop, and maintain internal applications and automations that eliminate manual IT/Security work, including provisioning, access reviews, compliance evidence collection, audit preparation, and ticket triage.
• Develop and maintain integrations across the security and IT stack, including Okta, Zscaler, Splunk/Wazuh, Lacework, Drata, Datadog, AWS, GCP, GitHub, and n8n.
• Package, deploy, and operate IT/Security tooling using Parachute's standard deployment patterns and observability stack.

AI & agentic workflows

• Architect agentic AI workflows for IT and Security operations, including automated alert triage, log correlation, root-cause analysis, guided remediation, access-review automation, and audit evidence collection.
• Build the context layer (MCP servers, retrieval pipelines, and embeddings) that grounds AI agents in Parachute-specific systems, policies, and runbooks.
• Drive AI adoption across the IT/Security team through pairing, architecture reviews, and reusable skills/plugins/workflows.
• Build an MCP-based agent that automates audit evidence collection from multiple sources.
