Overseeing a suite of 30+ SaaS apps handling sensitive healthcare data drilled something into me: security isn't just a feature; it's foundational and a regular afterthought. Working within HIPAA compliance went beyond navigating red tape - there was a profound and serious sense of responsibility that I enjoyed the weight of. The frameworks are strict, the rules are deliberate, precisely because the real-world implications of failure are serious. * And the holder of niche, sometimes dry, but entirely essential information is intriguing. There's an attractive weight to that responsibility - knowing that getting it right matters deeply, that you're building trust directly into the product. It’s a stark contrast to the all-too-common approach where security feels like a bolt-on, an afterthought addressed only when something breaks or a big customer demands it. There appears to be capitalization on this gap; there are billboards for Delve.co all over San Francisco. Building things that "work beautifully" inherently includes building them securely from the start. There's something clunky, awkward even, about forcing security in after the fact. It’s about respecting the user and the data they entrust to you. That deliberate, framework and scope driven approach, coupled with the high stakes, makes security a uniquely compelling domain.
