Software Engineer

Humana is hiring a Software Engineer to develop, test, deploy, and maintain reliable software applications, with a focus on healthcare technology platforms. The role also involves troubleshooting production issues, using AI-assisted development tools, and collaborating across teams to deliver secure, scalable solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain reliable software applications based on business requirements and technical specifications
• Use Claude and other AI-assisted development tools to support coding, debugging, documentation, test creation, code analysis, and solution design while following established security and quality standards
• Translate functional and non-functional requirements into scalable, maintainable, secure, and supportable technical solutions
• Support the development, integration, or enhancement of solutions within Epic or a comparable healthcare technology platform
• Troubleshoot complex application issues, research production incidents, identify root causes, and implement sustainable fixes
• Participate in code reviews and contribute clean, maintainable, reusable, and well-documented code
• Strengthen software quality through unit testing, integration testing, automated testing, defect resolution, and continuous improvement of quality assurance practices
• Collaborate with product owners, business partners, architects, analysts, quality engineers, and other cross-functional stakeholders to understand priorities, dependencies, and desired outcomes
• Contribute to continuous integration and continuous delivery practices, including automated build, testing, deployment, and release processes
• Identify opportunities to use AI-assisted development responsibly to improve developer productivity, accelerate delivery, and enhance code quality
• Follow established engineering, data privacy, security, documentation, and software development lifecycle standards
• Work with moderate independence in an evolving and sometimes ambiguous environment, taking ownership of assigned work while seeking guidance when appropriate
• Share technical knowledge, lessons learned, reusable solutions, and development best practices with the broader team
• Contribute to improvements in developer experience, team efficiency, application reliability, and consumer-facing outcomes

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
• 3 to 5 years of professional experience in software engineering, application development, systems analysis, or a related technical discipline
• Hands-on experience designing, coding, testing, debugging, and maintaining software applications in a production environment
• Practical experience using Claude or a comparable generative AI development assistant to support activities such as code generation, refactoring, debugging, technical documentation, test creation, or solution analysis
• Ability to evaluate, validate, and improve AI-generated code rather than relying on generated output without appropriate technical review
• Experience with source control, pull requests, code reviews, branching strategies, and standard software development lifecycle practices
• Experience working in Agile, Scrum, or another iterative development environment
• Experience troubleshooting production issues and translating findings into reliable technical solutions
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, technical documentation, and communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to contribute meaningful technical results, such as improving application performance, reducing defects, accelerating delivery, automating manual processes, or strengthening system reliability
• Experience developing, configuring, integrating, or supporting solutions within Epic or a similar healthcare technology platform
• Experience working with healthcare applications, clinical workflows, healthcare data, interoperability, or regulated technology environments
• Epic certification or relevant Epic training is beneficial but not required
• Experience integrating applications through APIs, web services, messaging frameworks, or healthcare interoperability standards
• Experience creating effective prompts, reusable workflows, or development standards for Claude or other approved AI-assisted engineering tools
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, build automation, deployment automation, and release management
• Experience with automated testing frameworks, code quality tools, application monitoring, or secure software development practices
• Experience working in cloud-based, distributed, or highly integrated application environments
• Experience improving developer workflows, engineering efficiency, operational reliability, or application support processes
• Previous achievements such as delivering a significant application enhancement, reducing production defects, increasing test coverage, automating a manual workflow, or improving development cycle time
• Master's degree in computer science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related field
