Role overview
Job description
We’re building a world of health around every individual — shaping a more connected, convenient and compassionate health experience. At CVS Health®, you’ll be surrounded by passionate colleagues who care deeply, innovate with purpose, hold ourselves accountable and prioritize safety and quality in everything we do. Join us and be part of something bigger – helping to simplify health care one person, one family and one community at a time.
Position Summary
Build software that helps people access care at CVS MinuteClinic, part of a household name in U.S. healthcare. Your work will shape patient-facing experiences and the tools providers use to deliver care, connecting engineering decisions to patient access, provider efficiency, and everyday care experiences. Our modernization is already underway. We have modernized critical systems, including patient-facing kiosks, internal web applications, and APIs, and delivered AI features that our providers use. You will build on that foundation as we expand cloud-native services, open-source technologies, and AI-enabled and agentic workflows.
We value single-threaded ownership: one clearly accountable engineer driving work from problem definition through production. You will independently lead a service or workflow, make technical decisions within your area, coordinate dependencies, and own operational outcomes, with collaboration and support from Staff Engineers and cross-functional partners. Our current environment includes C#, .NET, and Microsoft technologies. Deep expertise in that stack is valuable as we connect existing systems with new capabilities. Our future direction emphasizes Python, Java, Kotlin, Kubernetes, and Kafka, with distributed systems designed for reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
Above all, we value curiosity and a sustained desire to learn. We look for engineers who explore unfamiliar technologies, seek feedback, and apply what they learn to real problems. Bring strong engineering fundamentals, accountability, and the motivation to keep growing
What you will do -
• Own outcomes independently: Drive a service or workflow from understanding the problem through design, implementation, deployment, and production support. Resolve dependencies and communicate decisions, risks, and progress.
• Build cloud-native distributed systems: Design APIs, event-driven services, and asynchronous workflows using technologies such as Python, Java, Kotlin, Kubernetes, and Kafka. Address partial failures, consistency, reliable message processing, and scalability.
• Advance AI for providers: Build on existing provider-facing AI features. Develop LLM integrations and agentic workflows that retrieve information and use approved tools, with measurable quality, explicit permissions, human oversight, and recovery paths.
• Continue platform modernization: Extend progress across kiosks, internal applications, and APIs. Evolve Microsoft-based applications incrementally while maintaining dependable patient and provider experiences.
• Own production quality: Build automated tests and CI/CD pipelines, instrument services, and evaluate AI behavior. Participate in on-call support and use incidents and operational data to improve reliability and protect sensitive information.
• Learn, collaborate, and share: Partner with product and clinical stakeholders to connect technical choices to care delivery. Test new approaches, document tradeoffs, contribute to design reviews, and share knowledge with peers
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with C# and .NET (Framework or Core), Java, Python or similar coding languages,

- Comfort working in a cloud-hybrid environment: Azure, GCP or AWS, JFrog Artifactory
- Strong debugging and production troubleshooting skills; experience with APM or log-aggregation tools (AppDynamics, Splunk, Grafana, or equivalent)
