Regional health insurer serving 7.1M members across mid-Atlantic and Northeast
Highmark is a nonprofit Blue Cross Blue Shield licensee operating across Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, and New York with 7.1 million members. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft- and Oracle-centered (.NET, SQL Server, Office 365, Teams) with mature analytical layers (SAS, R, Teradata, DB2), reflecting a large, regulated organization built on legacy enterprise infrastructure. Hiring skews heavily toward healthcare operations and sales roles—70 healthcare, 23 sales—signaling member-facing delivery and network management as operational drivers, while engineering (4 roles) and product (4 roles) remain lean, suggesting technology is a cost center rather than a competitive lever.
