Job Description
Become a part of our caring community Healthcare is entering the most consequential technology shift of the next decade — and Humana is at the center of it.
We're seeking a Director of Engineering to lead the AI-first transformation of our clinical technology organization, embedding AI-assisted engineering, agentic workflows, and modern data platforms directly into how we build, test, and deliver enterprise healthcare systems. This isn't an incremental modernization role.
You'll be building the engineering org of the next decade — one where AI tools like Claude are core infrastructure, not an experiment — while driving mission-critical delivery across our Epic Tapestry (Utilization Management) and Compass Rose (Care Management) platforms.
If you want to look back in ten years and point to the moment healthcare engineering fundamentally changed, this is that moment. Why This Role Massive scope, real stakes.
You'll help lead the technology backbone for one of the nation's largest Medicare Advantage payers, supporting millions of members through mission-critical UM and CM platforms — with a hard December 2026 UM go-live and April 2027 CM go-live. AI-first, not AI-adjacent.
You will own the mandate to make AI-assisted engineering (Claude Code and agentic development workflows) the default way our teams build software — not a pilot program bolted onto legacy process. A decade-defining opportunity.
Healthcare AI is moving from administrative automation to core clinical and operational infrastructure. You'll be one of the leaders who defines what "AI-native" engineering looks like inside a Fortune 50 payer. Direct executive visibility.
This role partners closely with senior technology and clinical leadership and has a direct line of sight to enterprise-level compliance and transformation initiatives (including CMS-0057 interoperability mandates).
Key Responsibilities
Lead and scale an engineering organization responsible for enterprise integrations, clinical data platforms
