About the Role
Lead the AI-first transformation of Humana's clinical technology organization, embedding AI-assisted engineering, agentic workflows, and modern data platforms into enterprise healthcare systems. This role involves building the engineering organization of the future, where AI tools are core infrastructure, while driving mission-critical delivery across Epic Tapestry (Utilization Management) and Compass Rose (Care Management) platforms.
Responsibilities
- Lead and scale an engineering organization responsible for enterprise integrations, clinical data platforms, and payer/provider interoperability (APIs, HL7, FHIR, EDI/X12, Epic ecosystem).
- Own the AI-first engineering agenda: drive adoption of AI-assisted development (e.g., Claude Code), agentic workflows, and automation across the SDLC — from requirements to testing to production support.
- Provide technical and delivery leadership across Epic Tapestry (UM) and Compass Rose (CM) integration programs, partnering with a multi-vendor ecosystem to hold delivery accountable.
- Drive architecture and delivery for clinical and healthcare data platforms using Databricks and Snowflake.
- Champion measurable "Return on AI Investment" (ROAI) — identifying and scaling use cases where AI materially compresses delivery timelines, testing cycles, and operational cost.
- Partner with clinical, product, and compliance leaders to translate healthcare operations — Utilization Management, Care Management, HEDIS, STAR Ratings, and Value-Based Care — into scalable, AI-enabled technical solutions.
- Build, mentor, and grow a high-performing engineering team, instilling an AI-first mindset and modern engineering culture as a durable capability.
- Represent engineering in executive and board-level conversations on technology transformation, delivery risk, and AI strategy.
Requirements
- 10+ years of engineering leadership experience, with significant time in healthcare technology (payer, provider, or health tech environments).
- Demonstrated experience leading AI-first or AI-assisted engineering transformation — adoption of tools like Claude Code, Copilot, or comparable agentic/AI development platforms at team or org scale.
- Strong technical foundation in enterprise integration and interoperability: APIs, HL7, FHIR, EDI/X12.
- Experience with modern cloud data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, or equivalent).
- Proven experience supporting payer or clinical operations — UM, CM, HEDIS, STAR Ratings, or Value-Based Care.
- Track record of leading engineering teams through large-scale platform transformation, including multi-vendor delivery environments.
- Executive-level communication skills — able to translate technical delivery into business and clinical outcomes for senior leadership.
- Direct experience with Epic Tapestry and/or Compass Rose.
- Experience with Medicare Advantage, commercial payer, or Value-Based Care environments.
- Cloud platform certification or deep hands-on experience (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
- Experience standing up or scaling an AI Center of Excellence, AI governance framework, or enterprise AI adoption program.
- Background leading teams through regulatory-driven transformation (e.g., CMS interoperability mandates).
