About the role

Humana Inc. is seeking a seasoned Lead Software Engineer to architect and deliver foundational services enabling real-time recommendations. You will own the State Machine and Transactional Outbox, ensuring robustness, traceability, and scalability under high concurrency. The role blends hands-on coding with technical leadership across Java, Python, Node.js, and TypeScript. You will mentor engineers, drive automated testing, observability, and production readiness for an enterprise-scale platform.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
