Full Job Description

Position Summary

We're looking for a senior technology leader to own the software engineering strategy that powers CVS Health's analytics ecosystem—someone who came up through hands-on software engineering, understands what makes systems fast and reliable at the foundation, and has grown into an architect and now an engineering executive who can scale that judgment across a large organization. This isn't a role for someone whose experience is primarily strategy decks and roadmap templates, or for someone who has only coordinated other people's engineering work without having done it themselves.

You'll lead a multi-disciplinary engineering team building the platforms behind pricing transparency, provider search, call center AI products, voice translation, and large-scale text summarization. You'll be accountable for latency, scalability, and simplicity—and you won't hesitate to jump into a code review or a design discussion when it matters.


Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead, grow, and mentor a large engineering organization, building strong managers and senior ICs while raising the bar on engineering craft

  • Personally engage in architecture reviews and code reviews for critical systems, driving down latency and eliminating unnecessary complexity

  • Partner with Data Science, Product, Analytics, and Architecture teams to translate business priorities into scalable, cloud-based data solutions

  • Define and execute the engineering roadmap for enterprise analytics platforms, balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform modernization

  • Drive operational rigor—reliability, observability, and cost efficiency—across production data platforms supporting healthcare-critical applications

  • Establish engineering best practices and standards that improve speed, quality, and maintainability across teams

  • Communicate technical strategy and trade-offs clearly to both engineering teams and senior business stakeholders

  • Champion a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement


Required Qualifications:

  • 15+ years of progressive experience in Software Engineering or related technology disciplines.

  • 7+ years of experience leading large engineering organizations through multiple layers of leadership.

  • Significant hands-on software engineering background, including experience architecting and delivering end-to-end data or software products

  • Demonstrated growth path from engineer to architect to engineering leadership, with experience managing large, multi-disciplinary teams

  • Strong grasp of core software engineering fundamentals—system design, performance optimization, and building simplified, maintainable solutions

  • Experience with cloud-based data platforms and modern engineering practices

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical rationale clearly to varied audiences


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in healthcare, insurance, or other regulated, high-scale industries

  • Background supporting AI/ML-powered products (e.g., conversational AI, summarization, search)

  • Experience driving large-scale platform modernization or migration initiatives

  • Familiarity with latency-sensitive, customer-facing systems at enterprise scale

Education

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
