The work you do with our team will directly improve health outcomes by connecting people with the care, pharmacy benefits, and data they need to feel their best. Here, you will find a culture guided by diversity and inclusion, talented peers, comprehensive benefits, and career development opportunities. Come make an impact on the communities we serve as you help us advance health equity on a global scale. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together. As a Senior Software Engineer in the Identity Risk Platform (IRP) organization within Enterprise Security & Risk Organization (ESRO), you will play a critical role in transforming enterprise identity data into actionable intelligence that identifies, predicts, prevents, and remediates identity-related risk across the organization. Our mission is to prevent identity collisions before they create customer, privacy, or operational incidents, while driving remediation directly at the source. You will work on flagship platforms including IRP (detecting enterprise identity risks), RemHub (remediation enablement platform supporting thousands of SSN corrections), and FRED (Fraud and Risk Entity Discovery & Diagnostics next-generation portal). Our engineering environment is a cloud-native AWS platform featuring 25+ microservices, event-driven architectures, Kafka-based data pipelines, Java/Spring Boot services, React/TypeScript portals, Kubernetes, Terraform, and modern AI-assisted engineering practices. In this role, you will leverage enterprise AI tools and techniques to optimize engineering productivity and build next-generation identity risk and fraud detection solutions. You'll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely * from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges., * Design, develop, and deploy scalable, cloud-native fullstack applications and microservices using Java, Spring Boot, React, Next.js, and TypeScript * Design, develop, and deploy AI-powered solutions and automations to address complex identity risk, fraud intelligence, and entity discovery challenges with an emphasis on responsible AI practices * Leverage enterprise-approved AI tools and modern technologies to streamline software engineering workflows, automate routine tasks, and drive continuous productivity improvements * Build and maintain resilient event-driven architectures and Kafka-based data pipelines supporting core identity risk platforms (IRP, RemHub, FRED) * Design and manage relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and efficient data structures to support high-throughput identity data diagnostics and risk evaluation * Collaborate with UI/UX designers, product teams, and security stakeholders to build intuitive portals for risk investigation and remediation enablement * Evaluate emerging technical and AI trends to inform system architecture design, strategic innovation, and platform evolution * Enforce high standards of code quality, testability, security, CI/CD pipeline automation, and cloud infrastructure management using Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in. ## Related Videos - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) - [Coffee with Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/341-coffee-with-developers) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [How Much FAANG Companies Actually Pay Software Engineers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/230-how-much-faang-companies-actually-pay-software-engineers-in-2025) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
