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.
