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 an assigned feature or component through delivery. You will independently move defined work forward, make implementation decisions within agreed designs, and follow through on production outcomes. Senior Engineers and tech leads provide design guidance and review as you grow your scope. 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'll Do

• Own your work through delivery: Take responsibility for a defined feature or component from understanding requirements through implementation, testing, deployment, and follow-up. Proactively resolve questions, raise blockers, and communicate progress.

• Build cloud-native capabilities: Develop APIs and backend features while building practical experience with Python, Java, Kotlin, Kubernetes, and Kafka. Apply team patterns for asynchronous processing, reliable service interactions, and failure handling.

• Contribute to AI and agentic workflows: Extend provider-facing AI capabilities and help build workflows that retrieve information and interact with approved tools. Implement tests, evaluations, permissions, and human review steps with guidance from experienced engineers.

• Extend our modernization work: Improve patient-facing kiosks, internal applications, and APIs. Maintain and enhance C#/.NET services while helping connect existing capabilities with newer cloud-native systems.

• Deliver dependable software: Write clean, testable code, participate in code reviews, and contribute to CI/CD workflows. Work with databases, application logs, and monitoring tools; participate in on-call support using team runbooks and escalation paths.

• Keep learning and improving: Seek feedback, explore unfamiliar technologies, and apply new skills to your work. Partner with product, QA, and infrastructure colleagues, document decisions, and share what you learn.
