Who We Are At Elemy: 

Elemy is a tech-forward provider of pediatric therapy across the United States. We believe that families, clinicians, and insurers all deserve a better healthcare experience, so we built one.

Backed by General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Founders Fund, & others. Our mission is to provide personalized, technology-empowered care for children with autism in the environment best suited to help them grow and thrive — the home. We’re looking to rapidly grow our team with values-driven, diverse, caring professionals to help us improve autism care. . 

About The Role: 

The Elemy Security and Trust team is committed to achieving and maintaining the trust of our customers. Integral to this mission is providing a robust security and compliance program that carefully considers data protection matters across all our products and offerings, including the data submitted by customers, partners, and employees to our services. Our business is built on trust and security and making sure all our customers trust us to offer great autism care while safeguarding all of their data.

In cloud first environments we have to assume that the perimeter is fluid, and we cannot assume safety. At Elemy we are embracing a modern Zero Trust posture where we continuously want to assess and identify that the right people have the right level of access to the right resources in the right context with the least performance impact and least friction for all involved.
