About The Position

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 We are hiring a Full Stack Staff Software Engineer with strong React and Python experience to join our Data Engineering team. You will take a lead role in the end-to-end development of a new, critical internal self-service application. Your work on this software solution will be instrumental in our initiative to modernize how data is accessed and managed, enabling teams across the company to easily work with their own data through the user-friendly tools you build. This project involves a shift from traditional data handling processes, with your primary focus being creating a robust application that empowers this new approach to data accessibility and decentralized ownership. About this Role: This is a high-impact, high-autonomous role is suited for a detail-oriented and collaborative individual who thrives on ownership, knows how to apply best practices, and can independently design, build, and maintain production-grade software. While you'll be leveraging your core software engineering expertise, you'll also be at the forefront of our data modernization, gaining deep insights into modern data architectures and practices by building the tools that enable them. You will have access to AI tooling to assist in all aspects of the SDLC. You will build a solution that will provide: Self-Service Data Ingestion - You'll empower application teams to register new Kafka topics, update schemas, and ingest data through a UI, reducing lead times from weeks to minutes. Automated Monitoring & Incident Management - You will integrate standardized logging, alerting, and escalation to improve issue resolution and system reliability. Data Preview Capabilities - You will enable application engineers to preview how their data will appear in the warehouse during design and before production, allowing for on-the-fly redesign if needed. About the Project: The Data Self-Service Platform The Data Self-Service Platform initiative addresses critical challenges in our current data operations. Today, data ingestion is often manual and ticket-driven, leading to delays and limiting self-service for our application teams. You’ll help build a platform that empowers data owners to ingest, transform, and serve their data — giving them full control and accountability for data quality. This platform will enable data producers and consumers to collaborate efficiently, address issues directly, and streamline testing changes.
