As a Principal Software Engineer on CVS Health’s PBM underwriting and financial metrics team, you will lead the technical direction for a platform processing hundreds of millions of claims-level records with strict latency requirements. Your role involves deep solution design, big-data architecture, and effective communication to ensure that finance, actuarial, and engineering teams trust and can extend the system without issues. You will mentor senior engineers, drive architectural decisions through ADRs and design reviews, and own the technical narrative for executive stakeholders. The ideal candidate has extensive experience in modern JVM stacks like Java and Spring Boot, SQL-first persistence with JOOQ or similar tools, and a strong background in performance engineering and cloud-native delivery. Experience in PBM, healthcare claims processing, and financial underwriting is highly valued.
