Senior Application Security Engineer

About Radicle Health: 

Radicle Health is a collection of human services software products created and designed to foster collaboration and experimentation across our teams so that we can collectively better serve our communities. We believe technology is at the root of success in the human services sector, but that no single system can meet the needs of every agency. So we’ve built Radicle Health around this guiding principle. Our products are 100% committed to their customers and the individuals their customers serve. But under one roof, our teams can learn from each other, can more quickly test ideas, and can think holistically about our communities and the people at the center of those communities.
