Job ID: R0762508 | App window closes: 01/03/2026 | Pay range: $83,430 – $222,480
This is basically a “Swiss Army knife” senior role: Java + .NET + Angular + Azure + ETL + Kafka + SQL + test automation + AI. That’s a lot. It’s not impossible, but it’s a red flag if your background isn’t already living in that stack.
What this job really is
You’re building and stitching together cloud apps and data flows:
- APIs: Java Spring Boot and .NET
- UI: Angular and .NET MVC
- AI: Azure AI services + (preferred) Python
- Data/ETL: Azure Data Factory, SSIS, Airflow
- Eventing: Kafka
- Quality: Selenium/JUnit/TestNG/Playwright
Translation: they want someone who can ship end-to-end features and also handle the plumbing.
My blunt “fit check”
You’re a legit match only if you can credibly claim most of these buckets:
- Backend: Java Spring Boot OR .NET (ideally both)
- Cloud: Azure (Functions + Data Factory are specifically called out)
- Data: SQL + ETL (SSIS/Airflow)
- Eventing: Kafka
- Testing: at least one serious automation framework
- Front-end: Angular (or strong equivalent)
If you’re missing Azure + ETL + Kafka, this is probably a waste of effort unless you’re willing to frame yourself as “strong in X, ramp fast in Y” and accept lower odds.
What to emphasize on your resume (if applying)
Use bullets that prove outcomes, not duties:
- “Built Spring Boot REST APIs supporting X users / X TPS”
- “Deployed Azure Functions + Data Factory pipelines processing X records/day”
- “Implemented Kafka-based event flow reducing latency from X to Y”
- “Optimized SQL queries/caching cutting runtime by X%”
- “Built automated test suite (Playwright/Selenium) raising coverage to X%”
- “Integrated Azure AI (document extraction, search, classification, etc.) into workflow”
Your fastest next move
Tell me your actual tech background in one line like this:
Java/Spring: Y/N | .NET: Y/N | Angular/React: Y/N | Azure: Y/N | ETL (ADF/SSIS/Airflow): Y/N | Kafka: Y/N | SQL: Y/N | Automation testing: Y/N
And I’ll tell you straight: apply / don’t apply, and if apply, I’ll rewrite your top resume bullets to match this posting.

This one is a high-skill “make engineers faster” role: internal tooling, platform thinking, CI/CD, dashboards/metrics, and some GenAI sprinkled in (prompting + NLP + model fine-tuning).
About CVS Health
CVS Health is building platforms that support Retail, Pharmacy, Health Solutions, and Aetna at Fortune 10 scale, with a big emphasis on improving developer experience across CVS Digital.
Schedule
- Full-time, 40 hours/week
- Remote (available in multiple locations)
What You’ll Do
- Build internal tools/libraries that help teams build, test, preview, deploy, and operate apps with less friction
- Create APIs + dashboards that show platform metrics and developer productivity measurements
- Drive best practices: test coverage, clean code, security, and consistent standards
- Work with architects/product/leadership to set direction for front-end web dev and platform patterns
- Lead prototyping and scaling of GenAI/LLM use cases into production tools
- Mentor junior engineers and operate as a technical leader across infrastructure engineering
What You Need
- 5+ years Java
- 3+ years Spring Boot
- Backend enterprise experience (3+ years)
- CI/CD maturity (Git, automated testing, pipelines) 3+ years
- Public cloud experience 2+ years (AWS/GCP/Azure)
- Data store skills (RDBMS/NoSQL)
- Some NLP familiarity preferred + prompt engineering
- Experience partnering with architecture/product/program teams to influence decisions
Preferred
- React experience
- Strong comms + ability to evangelize new tooling across a big org
- AI/ML infrastructure on cloud (nice-to-have but they clearly want it)
Pay
- Typical range: $83,430 – $203,940/year (bonus eligible)
Deadline: application window expected to close 12/31/2025.
Straight talk (so you don’t waste time)
This is not a “learn on the job” dev role. It screams: senior Java/Spring + DevEx + platform engineering + CI/CD + cloud, and then “GenAI” on top. If your resume doesn’t already show internal tooling, CI/CD ownership, developer productivity work, or platform-ish projects, it’s going to be a rough match.
If you still want to shoot your shot anyway
Your angle has to be automation + systems + reducing lead time, not “I’m a good coder.” Think bullets like:
- built CI/CD pipelines, reduced deployment time by X
- created internal SDKs/tools used by N teams
- built dashboards/metrics (DORA metrics, build times, error rates)
- standardized templates/scaffolding for services
- automated repetitive engineering workflows
- experimented with LLM prompts or AI-assisted tooling (even lightweight)
If you tell me your actual tech background (Java/Spring? any cloud? any CI/CD?), I’ll tell you bluntly whether this is “apply now” or “don’t burn cycles.”

This is a “design the whole machine” role, not a slide-deck architect. You’d be building enterprise solution architectures around event-driven systems, cloud-first design (AWS preferred), and the newer wave of AI/agentic tech, while coaching dev teams and unblocking real technical work.
About CVS Health
CVS Health is reimagining healthcare through a massive national footprint and digital platforms, building systems that are more connected, convenient, and compassionate.
Schedule
- Full-time
- Remote or hybrid (role is open to multiple CVS locations; can be fully remote anywhere in the U.S.)
What You’ll Do
- Architect end-to-end business solutions for strategic initiatives across apps, data, infra, platform, and security
- Lead modern event-driven architecture design (think Kafka, streaming, decoupled services)
- Build cloud-native reference architectures and frameworks, including AI and agentic integration patterns
- Partner across Digital, Data/Analytics, IT, Enterprise Architecture, Infrastructure, and Security
- Coach and guide dev teams, remove roadblocks, and stay hands-on with technical problem-solving
- Drive adoption of cloud-first / cloud-native patterns across legacy + modern environments
What You Need
- 8+ years designing/developing enterprise solutions
- 2+ years hands-on cloud implementations (especially event-driven architectures)
- Strong cloud architecture skills (AWS preferred) for large-scale distributed systems
- Solid architecture coverage across:
- Application, data, integration, and security design
- APIs: REST, GraphQL, gRPC
- Microservices and Domain-Driven Design (bounded contexts to services)
- Streaming platforms like Apache Kafka
- DevSecOps/DataOps and Agile/XP practices
- SQL + NoSQL + cloud database tech
- Demonstrable hands-on experience is essential (they’re basically daring you to prove it)
Preferred
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect
Benefits
- Medical plan options
- 401(k) with matching contributions
- Employee stock purchase plan
- Wellness programs, counseling, and financial coaching
- PTO and other benefits depending on eligibility
Pay
- Typical range: $106,605 – $260,590/year (plus potential bonus/short-term incentives and equity award target)
Deadline: application window expected to close 02/28/2026.
Straight talk: this role screams “principal-level builder who can still code.” If your background is mostly governance and diagrams, you’ll get exposed fast. If you’ve actually shipped cloud-native, event-driven systems and can talk DDD like a native language, this is a power move.
