We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to lead delivery across the engineering teams supporting our health plan technology platform, spanning software engineering (Junior through Architect levels, working in Go, Python, Node.js, and AWS-based distributed systems), Data & Integration Engineering (AWS Glue, Power BI, Message Broker/ACE), and DevOps & Cloud Engineering (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes/EKS/OpenShift). This is a techno-functional leadership role: you will own the program plan, translate customer and business requirements into clear technical direction, and track delivery across multiple concurrent workstreams and onshore/offshore teams. Just as key, you will be the driving force behind an AI-first mindset across every team and every solution, setting the expectation that AI-assisted engineering is the default way of working, not an exception.
