What this job asks for AI summary
A senior individual-contributor engineering role focused on designing, building, and supporting third-party financial applications within a healthcare context — primarily prescription and claims processing systems. The work spans mainframe technologies (COBOL, CICS, DB2), SOA development, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud platforms. It suits an experienced engineer comfortable bridging legacy mainframe environments with modern tooling and cloud infrastructure.

Why we read it this way (8)
No specific work location or metro area is stated in the posting; the CBSA is left blank. The role may be remote or hybrid but this is not explicitly stated — remote is marked false as a conservative default.
The 5+ years requirement is tied to the mainframe technology stack (CICS, COBOL, JCL, DB2, VSAM, Unix) — the JD frames these as a group with a single 'one or more of the following' qualifier. All named technologies are listed under Required Qualifications and are treated as hard gates; 'one or more' means the candidate must have depth in at least one, but the full list is captured as individual skills per the posting.
The 2+ years block covers SOA, GitHub EMU, CI/CD tools, Control-M, PL/SQL, Unix scripting, and Informatica — all listed together under Required Qualifications. 'SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)' is a methodology/pattern rather than a named tool and is omitted per extraction rules.
Cloud Technologies (Azure and GCP) are listed in the Required Qualifications block but without a specific years demand; Azure is emitted as the primary skill with GCP as an alternative since the JD treats them as a pair.
Pharmacy/Accounts Receivable business experience is mentioned in Required Qualifications but is domain knowledge rather than a named technology, so it is omitted from the skills list.
Third Party Accounts Receivable application knowledge, Agile/SAFe, and healthcare industry knowledge appear under Preferred Qualifications.
The degree requirement is None because the JD explicitly accepts a high school diploma plus 4 years of relevant experience as an equivalent to a Bachelor's degree.
The pay range ($101,970–$203,940/year) is described as base salary; the role is also eligible for a bonus or short-term incentive program.
