OUR MISSION & VALUES Our Mission: Improving Lives and Communities. Simplifying Healthcare. Expecting More. Our Values: Leadership | Community | Integrity | Agility | Diversity JOB PURPOSE • Carelon Global Solutions India is seeking a Senior Manager Architecture to lead architecture and end-to-end implementation of enterprise pharmacy management capabilities for CarelonRx. • The role owns technical vision, solution architecture, engineering execution, implementation readiness, and platform outcomes across complex, multi-system pharmacy transformation programs. • The position is intentionally weighted toward architecture, engineering, AI-enabled Spec-Driven Development, and large-scale implementation leadership. Delivery administration is a supporting responsibility, not the primary mandate. • The leader will combine strong software engineering depth with practical pharmacy and PBM domain knowledge to translate business capabilities into secure, scalable, resilient, and operable platforms. JOB RESPONSIBILITY Enterprise Pharmacy Architecture • Define and govern target-state solution architecture for end-to-end pharmacy management systems, aligned with enterprise architecture, security, data, privacy, resiliency, and regulatory guardrails. • Create capability maps, domain boundaries, reference architectures, reusable patterns, integration standards, and modernization roadmaps across the pharmacy ecosystem. • Lead architecture decisions for microservices, APIs, event streaming, workflow orchestration, data platforms, cloud-native services, observability, and interoperability with legacy platforms. • Own architecture reviews, trade-off decisions, non-functional requirements, technical debt strategy, and design assurance from concept through production adoption. End-To-End Pharmacy Platform Implementation • Lead implementation across relevant pharmacy and PBM capabilities such as benefit configuration, formulary, eligibility, claims adjudication, pricing, prior authorization, pharmacy networks, specialty pharmacy, clinical programs, rebates, member and provider experiences, and operational reporting. • Translate business journeys and pharmacy operating models into domain-aligned services, data contracts, interfaces, implementation increments, migration plans, and measurable acceptance criteria. • Own the technical implementation lifecycle covering discovery, architecture, engineering, integration, data conversion, testing strategy, cutover, production readiness, stabilization, and benefits realization. • Manage cross-platform dependencies and ensure that application, data, infrastructure, security, operations, and vendor workstreams converge into one implementable solution. • Drive phased rollout, coexistence, migration, and decommissioning strategies that protect member, client, pharmacy, and operational continuity. AI-Enabled Spec-Driven Development (SDD) • Establish an AI-first Spec-Driven Development approach in which approved business, architecture, interface, security, testing, and operational specifications become the governed source for implementation. • Enable engineering agents and copilots to accelerate design elaboration, code generation, test creation, documentation, code review, traceability, and impact analysis, with human review and approval at critical control points. • Define reusable SDD templates, prompt and context standards, repository conventions, quality gates, evaluation criteria, and responsible AI controls for enterprise adoption. • Measure SDD outcomes using baselines and agreed targets for engineering cycle time, specification-to-code traceability, automated test coverage, escaped defects, rework, deployment frequency, and productivity improvement. • Ensure AI-generated artifacts meet enterprise standards for security, privacy, intellectual property, explainability, maintainability, and auditability.
