Senior Cloud Solutions Engineer

Role Description

The Senior Cloud Solutions Engineer supports the development and execution of Humana’s cloud implementation and modernization strategy for Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) platforms. This role plays a critical hands-on engineering leadership role in advancing large scale transformation initiatives, including the Nuance Migration Project.

This position represents a strategic shift from primarily operational and process oversight to deep technical execution and technical leadership, embedding stronger cloud, SaaS, and contact center engineering expertise within the team while maintaining awareness of delivery and operational considerations. The role addresses moderately complex to complex technical challenges and exercises significant autonomy in determining technical approaches and solutions.

The Senior Cloud Solutions Engineer is a key member of Humana’s technology organization, responsible for implementing and advancing the enterprise cloud strategy for the Customer Experience Center Platform ecosystem, including Genesys Cloud and the new Platform Google CX Agent Studio.

This role provides hands-on technical leadership across architecture, design, integration, and optimization of cloud-based contact center solutions. The engineer collaborates closely with product owners, solution architects, business analysts, delivery teams, IT leadership, operations leaders, and vendor partners to ensure Humana fully realizes the value of its CCaaS investments in a secure, compliant, and scalable manner.

The role begins to influence platform and innovation strategy, makes decisions on moderately complex to complex technical issues with limited guidance, and exercises considerable latitude in defining objectives and approaches. Success in this role requires a strong balance of engineering execution, vendor partnership, and transformation leadership.
