Required qualifications include 15+ years in software engineering with 7+ years in engineering leadership, proven track record managing 50+ engineer organizations in a software product company, and strong architectural grounding in cloud-native development (AWS or Azure). You should have hands-on background in Java, Python, or .NET; microservices, API design, and event-driven architectures; solid command of CI/CD, DevSecOps, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and modern Agile or SAFe methodologies. Hands-on adoption of GenAI tooling to improve engineering productivity or quality is expected.
Preferred qualifications include experience in healthcare payer products (claims, EDI, eligibility, enrollment, benefits) in a health plan, TPA, or payer software company, and background in multi-tenant SaaS product development serving health plans or TPAs.
