Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Humana is a healthcare company providing insurance and healthcare services. The Senior AI Full Stack Engineer will design and build backend services, APIs, and integrations that connect AI capabilities, data systems, and product frontends. The role also establishes security, compliance, observability, reliability, and engineering standards for the AI platform.
Responsibilities
- Design and lead development of core backend services, REST and GraphQL APIs, and service-to-service integrations that connect all layers of Centerwell's AI product stack
- Establish patterns for authentication, authorization, rate limiting, PHI access control, and audit logging. Ensure HIPAA compliance is embedded in platform design from day one—not bolted on after the fact
- Define and implement reusable patterns for integrating AI capabilities into product APIs, including LLM routing, streaming responses, tool orchestration, and model output handling
- Build logging, monitoring, and alerting infrastructure so the platform is operable and debuggable at scale
- Contribute to product feature development end-to-end using TypeScript and Next.js, from server-side APIs to rendered UI
- Drive architecture reviews and define backend engineering standards that the full engineering team builds on
Skills
- B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and/or Python for API and service development
- Proven track record building scalable, production-grade REST or GraphQL APIs
- Solid understanding of authentication (OAuth2, OIDC), API security patterns, and authorization model design
- Working knowledge of HIPAA requirements, particularly secure transmission, storage, and access control for PHI
- Experience with Next.js and React sufficient for full-stack feature contribution
- Demonstrated ownership of complex backend systems end-to-end, from architecture through production operation
- Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools and LLM coding harnesses (Claude Code, Pi Agent, Cursor, Codex, or similar)
