Highmark Health Tech Stack
National health system spanning insurance, delivery, and population health
Highmark Health operates as a diversified health organization with $29.4 billion in consolidated 2024 revenues, serving millions across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The tech stack reflects a hybrid-legacy infrastructure: Epic Systems dominates clinical workflows, while modern cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible) sit alongside health-specific systems (Allscripts, da Vinci Surgical integration, ICD-10-PCS coding). Hiring remains heavily weighted toward clinical and ops roles (707 healthcare, 54 ops) against minimal engineering velocity (7 open roles, 33 total hires in 30 days), suggesting infrastructure decisions are driven by business-critical rather than innovation-first imperatives.
