Texas HHSC operates a sprawling multi-agency health and benefits system (Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, long-term care) across 10,000+ employees. The tech stack reveals a mature, compliance-heavy infrastructure: Salesforce + PeopleSoft for core HR and case management, Oracle + SQL Server for financial and program data, Power BI + Informatica for reporting, AWS/Azure/GCP for cloud migrations, and clinical systems (Cerner, Dentrix). Active hiring (549 roles in 30 days, accelerating velocity) skews heavily toward healthcare (670 headcount), ops, and finance—mirroring the operational burden of managing multi-program eligibility, vendor oversight, and federal compliance.
