About the role
Become a part of our caring community
Humana's Digital Health Platform (DHP) is the engineering platform behind many of Humana's consumer digital experiences. DHP Product Engineering builds the shared pieces other Humana teams build on, including a micro-frontend catalog, accessibility tooling, and API foundations, and we build them with AI coding agents at the center of how we work. We are hiring a Senior Product Engineer, Accessibility, to own the products that help Humana's teams build accessible web and mobile experiences from the start.
We run accessibility as products with customers. Product teams across Humana are the customers, and our members and patients benefit. You set the direction for products such as automated accessibility testing in pipelines, an accessibility linter, an accessibility health dashboard, and AI agent skills, and you build them alongside our product engineers. You also run parts of Humana's Digital Accessibility Program, and we expect you to automate more of that work over time.
How we work
Our practice is skills-driven. A skill is a set of reusable instructions that an AI agent follows for a recurring task. The accessibility program already runs on skills. You will use them, write new ones, and ship accessibility skills that other teams use in their own work.
We welcome candidates with disabilities, including people who use assistive technology every day. That experience is directly relevant to this role. We support IAAP certification if you do not hold one yet.
