About Buoy Software

Our mission is to deliver the best experience possible to as many donors of blood products (such as plasma) as possible, in as many communities as possible. We use our understanding of blood product donation and the industry’s regulations and pair them with our extensive consumer product experience to enrich the lives of our members and improve health outcomes for patients everywhere. 

In an industry that hasn’t seen innovation in more than two decades, Buoy’s software streamlines the donation process allowing our business to promote loyalty while improving efficiency in a donation center. In turn, the increase in blood product donations improves a supply level that is at an all time low, and allows for blood-product derived biotherapies to continue to evolve, improve, and save lives for those who face life-threatening conditions (i.e. immune deficiencies and blood disorders). Without an increase in blood product donations, we are facing a worldwide health crisis that ultimately results in rationing of care without the proper resources. Buoy Software is excited to be playing more of a role in improving the state of blood products and blood product donations.

We’re working alongside Join Parachute ([www.joinparachute.com/](http://www.joinparachute.com/)) in the opening of small market donation centers across the country that will create local donation center careers, opportunities to donate blood products, and provide financial compensation for those donations that will have a positive economic impact in those communities. 

The need for blood products is growing rapidly. We want to close the gap in blood product supply and demand by empowering organizations with the right tools. Buoy is the intuitive, data-driven mobile application for donors.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Security and Risk Engineer to join our team. You should be someone who is comfortable and experienced in risk management and code review. This role will work closely with specific product engineering pods, owning all security controls and documentation for assigned pods. You should have an eye for continuous improvement, risk and vulnerability management, and security compliance.

What you’ll do:

• Oversee vulnerability and security risk management including, but not limited to, vulnerability and risk identification/assessment, crafting mitigation proposals, tracking mitigation status, and testing and validating mitigation methods
• Oversee security compliance activities including, but not limited to, hazard analyses, threat modeling, root cause analysis, and creating, updating, and maintaining policies and other relevant documentation
• Manage continuous monitoring and auditing processes to detect and respond to security incidents
• Perform code assessments to determine any impacts for Buoy’s applications
• Responsible for defining, implementing, evaluating, and maintaining the effectiveness of security and risk controls
• Identify current and emerging issues including security trends, vulnerabilities, and threats
• Collaborate with team members and stakeholders on projects and audits

• Perform third party security assessments
• Educate and train staff on security best practices

Who you are:

• You have experience with threat modeling analysis such as STRIDE and Attack Tree methodologies.
• You have experience with software as a service.
• You are a self starter. You enjoy working in an environment where you have a lot of autonomy. You are not one to wait around to be given work, but are always looking for ways in which you can provide support for your colleagues.
• You can adapt to change quickly and thrive in an environment where every day is different / you own a variety of tasks.
• You are a team player. Everyone contributes within the Buoy team, and you want to help the team get the job done when needed, regardless of initial ownership.
• You are professional in your collaboration and communication methods. You can represent Buoy and our values both internally and externally (with vendors / partners) as needed.

In the first 30 days, you will…

• Be introduced to the team – we’ll help you start to get to know your colleagues, point of contacts for various scenarios, understanding dynamics within the broader org.
• Learn how Buoy Software operates internally – we’ll help you get accustomed to Buoy’s process, engineering terminology, and other cultural aspects of working here.
• Go through product demos to start to understand Buoy Software and how it works for both donors experience and donor processing.
• Begin meeting with and getting to know your direct manager who will share various projects and goals for this role to provide guidance as you settle into the position.
• Review existing security documentation and determine gaps or improvements.
• Hit the ground running!

In the first 60 days, you will…

• Understand goals for your respective pods over the next 6 – 12 months.
• Begin implementing solutions for gaps identified and performing all duties related to continuous management of security for your pods.
• Become more familiar with workflows and processes.
• Become more autonomous as you work with your pods and other stakeholders.
• Start to define timelines for various projects with your manager to help prioritize your focus and align them with the goals for this role.
• Begin to suggest changes and improvements to the security program and/or internal processes.

In the first 90 days, you will…

• Meet with stakeholders across the broader Buoy Software organization.
• Become more familiar with the other departments across Buoy Software (including leadership, support, customer success, marketing, and people ops).

About us

Kialo – the world’s largest discussion platform – was founded in 2011 to offer an alternative to the often toxic, confrontational, and intellectually isolating state of online discourse. In 2019, we launched Kialo Edu as a platform designed to teach students how to discuss issues with logic, self-reflection, and civility while making life easier for educators. At Kialo Edu, we believe that visualizing argumentation helps students think critically and focusing on reason helps students practice civil disagreement. In this way, we ultimately hope to make the world a more thoughtful place. That is why Kialo Edu is free and always will be.

Are you passionate about education and looking for an opportunity to make a global impact? We’re on the hunt for a talented and driven Education Outreach Associate to join our dynamic and diverse global team at Kialo. This is a unique chance to play a pivotal role in expanding our outreach efforts, forging meaningful partnerships, and driving growth for our innovative educational platform. We’re especially excited to hear from current or former educators who are eager to leverage their classroom expertise to help Kialo Edu flourish.

To set you up for success, you’ll begin with a comprehensive six-week training period where you’ll learn the ins and outs of our platform, develop essential skills, and get hands-on experience in how Kialo discussions evolve.

Your role

Once trained, you’ll be at the forefront of our outreach efforts, taking on responsibilities such as:
– Developing and executing global marketing strategies to promote Kialo Edu.
– Managing content creation across social media, blogs, and other channels to increase brand awareness.
– Identifying potential partners and developing effective strategies to build meaningful relationships with educational institutions and edtech companies.
– Delivering engaging presentations tailored to diverse audiences to effectively introduce Kialo Edu and its capabilities.
– Representing Kialo Edu at conferences and events to grow our network and influence.
– Collecting user and partner feedback to refine our platform and strategies.

Location and eligibility

– While this is a remote role, you’ll be working with a team primarily based in Europe. To allow for reasonable coordination, there is a preference for candidates located in an ET timezone. There may be the occasional need for coordination slightly outside standard working hours. 
– As our work involves a certain amount of travel for conferences and events, it’s important that you be able to travel, within Northern America, approximately 6-8 times per year.

What we’re looking for

To excel in this role, you should have:
– Fluency in English, with excellent communication skills (written and spoken).
– A Bachelor’s degree or higher.
– At least two years of experience in education (preferably in a classroom setting) or educational technology.
– A creative, results-driven approach to developing outreach solutions.
– Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
– A knack for building and maintaining strategic relationships.
– High attention to detail and an ability to critique your own work.

Preferred skills and qualifications:

– Experience with education industry marketing or outreach, including social media.
– Expertise in planning and executing trade show and conference participation.
– A working knowledge of website and branding design.
– Remote work experience.
– Proficiency in a second language.

What we offer

– Open-ended employment contract (subject to successful 3 month probationary period) or the option of a long-term contractor arrangement. We are flexible on which of these options best suits your needs, and pay contractor loading, as reflected in the compensation information below.
– Reasonable flexibility in working hours.
– Remote working.
– Healthcare cover.
– Negotiable industry standard leave entitlement.

Compensation

– Our starting rate is between 33 USD/hr and 39.50USD/hr for contractors, depending on experience. As we pay contractor loading, an employment relationship will reduce this commensurate with the associated benefits. Final salary will be contingent on contract requirements and hours worked. We ask for a minimum of 30hrs/week commitment.

To apply, submit your résumé and a short piece – between 300 and 500 words – of argumentative writing.  

– Successful applicants will be invited to a short pre-screen video interview so we can get to know you (and you, us!) a little better (approximately 15 min).
– If shortlisted, we will ask you to give a short presentation – 5 mins – on an edtech tool of your choosing, followed by some interview questions. This usually lasts around 1-1.5hr.
