Why we read it this way (7)
This is a people-management Director role with direct reports, multi-vendor delivery accountability, and executive/board-level representation — 11-3021 is the clear primary SOC. The alt SOC (15-1252) is noted because the JD emphasizes a strong personal technical foundation and hands-on AI engineering transformation mandate, but the primary day-to-day work is organizational leadership.
The role is listed as remote but requires the candidate to reside near one of 11 specified metro areas (Louisville KY, Dallas/Frisco TX, Washington DC/Arlington VA, Chicago IL, Fort Lauderdale FL, Tampa FL, New York NY, Boston MA, Atlanta GA, Nashville TN, Charlotte NC). Louisville is used as the primary CBSA since it is Humana's headquarters city.
Databricks and Snowflake are listed together as 'Databricks, Snowflake, or equivalent' in the Required Qualifications section — both are named explicitly and treated as a required cloud data platform capability; each is emitted separately as a hard gate with the other as its alternative.
Claude Code and GitHub Copilot appear together as examples of required AI-assisted development tools ('tools like Claude Code, Copilot, or comparable agentic/AI development platforms') in the Required Qualifications section — emitted as a single hard-gate skill with Copilot as the alternative.
Epic Tapestry and Compass Rose are listed under Preferred Qualifications, as is cloud platform certification/deep hands-on experience with Azure, AWS, or GCP.
The compensation range ($172,200–$236,900/year) is explicitly stated as a base pay estimate; the role is also eligible for a bonus incentive plan.
No minimum degree is stated — the JD lists no formal education requirement anywhere in the posting.
