You will work closely with product owners, engineers, and healthcare subject-matter experts to make sound architectural decisions, strengthen verification and release practices, and remove recurring obstacles to delivery. This is a technically engaged leadership role, not a position focused primarily on meeting coordination or architecture documents. You should be comfortable examining code, investigating production behavior, and building critical components. Your broader impact will come from guiding engineers and AI-assisted development tools, creating reusable solutions, and developing stronger technical ownership throughout the team.Who We AreFounded in 1947, Milliman is an independent firm that provides actuarial, risk management, technology, data, and economic consulting.

Establish practical deployment, monitoring, rollback, and support practices. Investigate recurring failures and reduce manual intervention through targeted engineering improvements.Make AI-assisted engineering effective and accountable. Guide the use of coding agents and other AI tools, including context management, generated-code review, evaluation, and appropriate human oversight. Measure improvements in complete delivery outcomes rather than code volume.Create reusable engineering capabilities. Improve shared patterns and tooling where they solve demonstrated needs. Help teams adopt them without introducing unnecessary abstraction or approval bottlenecks.Develop independent engineers. Delegate meaningful ownership, review designs and implementations, provide timely feedback, and coach others through difficult technical decisions.Connect engineering decisions to user outcomes.
