Healthcare insurer and care-delivery platform serving 147 million members

The tech stack—SAS, SQL, ServiceNow, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and specialized tools like PeopleSoft and Splunk—reflects a hybrid operational footprint: regulatory and actuarial work sitting alongside emerging ML infrastructure. Active hiring across healthcare (55), security (30), and finance (24) roles, plus a dedicated GenAI security program and enterprise IAM policy rollout, signals simultaneous scale in compliance-heavy operations and security hardening around AI deployment.
