Manager, Full Stack Engineering

Location: Chicago, IL

Become a part of our caring community

Humana is seeking a Manager, Full Stack Engineering for our Wisconsin Medicaid Market who is equally passionate about leading people and building technology. This is a hands-on working manager role where you'll spend much of your time designing, coding, reviewing, and delivering solutions alongside a small team of engineers. Just as important, you'll lead, coach, motivate, and develop the people doing that work. Technical credibility gets someone into the conversation. The ability to connect with people and make them want to follow is what will make someone successful here.

We're looking for a dynamic, highly engaged leader who genuinely cares about people and shows it. This leader knows team members as individuals, sees potential they may not yet see in themselves, and invests the time to help them grow. They lead with empathy and kindness, bring energy and optimism into the room, and create an environment where people feel valued, challenged, supported, and connected to a shared purpose. They listen closely. They ask thoughtful questions. They notice when someone is struggling, and they act.

This leader also understands that change is both technical and deeply human. They'll help the team make sense of why change is needed, involve people in shaping the path forward, acknowledge uncertainty honestly, and remain present when the work gets difficult. They'll know when the team needs clarity, when someone needs coaching, and when a little humor or levity can help people reset. This doesn't mean being the loudest person in the room.

It means being genuine, self-aware, visible, and able to create energy and belief in others. They're also comfortable learning in the open. They ask questions, admit when they don't know, change their mind when the evidence calls for it, and let the team see that strong leadership doesn't require having every answer.

In this role, you'll partner with other deliver leaders to oversee full-stack development across two health plan technology environments, including Microsoft-based applications, Azure cloud services, Dynamics 365, and modern DevOps platforms. You'll drive modernization, improve reliability and security, reduce technical debt, and help prepare systems for future enterprise migration. Success requires a builder's mindset, sound engineering judgment, strong ownership, and an early-adopter mindset toward AI-enabled engineering.

This leader will help the team move beyond occasional AI assistance toward disciplined use of coding agents and autonomous agentic engineering workflows, with people setting direction, reviewing decisions, validating outputs, and remaining accountable for quality, security, and outcomes
