Job Description & How to Apply Below
Core Responsibilities Include

Engineering Strategy & Execution Translate the New PBM Platform roadmap, architecture, and product priorities into executable engineering plans for the assigned domain. Lead design, development, integration, release, and production-readiness activities with clear commitments and measurable outcomes. Ensure solutions meet functional, performance, scalability, reliability, recovery, security, privacy, and compliance expectations. Prove that delivered capability holds at production volumes, covering load, soak, throughput, latency, and recovery, and produce the supporting evidence before capability is accepted.

Drive disciplined engineering practices, design reviews, code quality, documentation, and technical decision-making. Balance near-term delivery with long-term sustainability, reuse, maintainability, and reduction of technical debt.

Product & Platform Partnership Partner with Product Management and Product Architecture to own the engineering half of the specification, confirming requirements are clear, complete, testable, and buildable before work enters a sprint. Partner with Platform Architecture and shared engineering teams to apply common patterns, standards, and reusable services. Coordinate dependencies across product domains, platform teams, enterprise integrations, and the teams integrating, modernizing, and re-implementing the existing PBM systems.

Contribute engineering insight to roadmap decisions, sequencing, capacity planning, and investment tradeoffs. Ensure assigned capabilities can operate at required enterprise scale without unnecessary client-specific rebuilding.

Engineering Performance & Operations Establish metrics for delivery predictability, throughput, quality, reliability, technical health, and operational performance. Partner with Build Quality and Test Architecture leaders to meet the program quality bar and produce required readiness evidence. Ensure observability, support models, runbooks, incident response, resilience, and recovery capabilities are built into delivered solutions. Lead resolution of critical technical issues, production risks, and cross-team engineering barriers.

Manage the engineering resources that carry production support for delivered capability, including sustaining and on-call coverage, defect and incident workload, and the balance between support demand and new delivery commitments. Drive continuous improvement in automation, developer productivity, release practices, and operational excellence.

People & Organization Leadership Build, lead, and develop a high-performing organization of engineers and technical professionals. Establish clear roles, accountability, objectives, feedback, and development plans across the team. Recruit and retain talent with the technical depth and learning agility required to scale the New PBM Platform. Create an inclusive, collaborative, and outcomes-focused engineering culture. Manage employees, contractors, vendor resources, capacity, and budget within the assigned function.
