Head of Compliance (HIPAA) and Security

At Bask Health, every role is AI-first. Work starts in an LLM to clarify intent and context, moves into the right tools to explore and execute, is tested with real users and stakeholders, and is continuously refined as we learn. AI and self-serve research are default parts of how we work, not side experiments.
We are looking for people who take full ownership of their work, treat AI as a real collaborator, and care deeply about building a company that meaningfully improves how healthcare is delivered.
What You'll Do

Work AI-first: Use LLMs as your starting point — to clarify thinking, draft output, research problems, and move faster. Apply your own judgment to refine quality and make it count.

Validate and iterate: Test your work with real users and stakeholders. Use what you learn to improve before problems become patterns.

Share AI-native workflows: Document prompts, processes, and workflows that work. Share them across your team so we raise the bar together.
