What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Virtual Assistant Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Virtual Assistant Engineer, you need strong programming skills (often in Python, Java, or C#), experience with AI and NLP technologies, and a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, dialog management systems, and cloud-based development environments is typically required. Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork abilities help you collaborate effectively and design user-friendly voice or chat interfaces. These skills ensure you can build, deploy, and refine intelligent virtual assistants that enhance user experiences and meet business objectives.

How does a Virtual Assistant Engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve virtual assistant performance?

Virtual Assistant Engineers regularly work with product managers, UX designers, and data scientists to enhance the capabilities and user experience of virtual assistants. Collaboration often involves participating in sprint meetings, sharing data insights, and integrating user feedback into system improvements. This teamwork ensures the virtual assistant remains accurate, responsive, and aligned with evolving business needs. Effective communication and openness to iterative feedback are essential for success in this collaborative environment.

What are Virtual Assistant Engineers?

Virtual Assistant Engineers are professionals who design, develop, and maintain virtual assistant technologies, such as chatbots and voice-activated AI systems. They work with artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and machine learning tools to create digital assistants that understand and respond to user input. Their responsibilities may include coding backend logic, integrating APIs, and continually improving the assistant's performance based on user interactions. Virtual Assistant Engineers often collaborate with UX designers, data scientists, and product managers to deliver seamless user experiences.

Job description

McKesson is an impact-driven, Fortune 10 company that touches virtually every aspect of healthcare. We are known for delivering insights, products, and services that make quality care more accessible and affordable. Here, we focus on the health, happiness, and well-being of you and those we serve - we care.
What you do at McKesson matters. We foster a culture where you can grow, make an impact, and are empowered to bring new ideas. Together, we thrive as we shape the future of health for patients, our communities, and our people. If you want to be part of tomorrow's health today, we want to hear from you.
CoverMyMeds is seeking a Software Engineer to support backend-heavy development for systems that automate prior authorization workflows and EHR integrations. This role focuses on building scalable, reliable services that process high-volume, asynchronous transactions critical to medication access.
You'll work closely with product and engineering partners to design, build, and maintain APIs and background processing systems, with opportunities to contribute across the stack as needed.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design, build, test, and maintain backend services and APIs, primarily using Ruby (Ruby on Rails).
  • Develop and support background processing and asynchronous workflows supporting high-throughput systems.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to translate business needs into technical solutions.
  • Participate in code reviews and architectural discussions to improve system quality and scalability.
  • Troubleshoot production issues, identify root causes, and implement well-tested fixes.
  • Write clean, maintainable, well-documented code and contribute to technical documentation and runbooks.
  • Apply software development best practices including version control, CI/CD, and automated testing.

Priority will be given to candidates who reside in the Columbus, OH metropolitan area. This role will allow for remote work.
We are unable to provide sponsorship for this role presently or in the future.
Minimum Qualifications
Degree or equivalent and typically requires 4+ years of relevant experience.
Critical Skills & Qualifications
These are required to be successful in the role:
  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Strong backend development experience in Ruby or another modern backend language (Java, Python, or C#), with the ability to ramp quickly in Ruby.
  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining APIs.
  • Experience with asynchronous/background job processing systems.
  • Solid experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MSSQL).
  • Familiarity with engineering best practices (Git, CI/CD, automated testing, code reviews).
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently within a collaborative team environment.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Skills
These will help candidates stand out but are not required:
  • Ruby on Rails experience.
  • Experience with Sidekiq or similar background job frameworks.
  • Exposure to event-driven architectures or messaging platforms (e.g., Kafka).
  • Familiarity with healthcare integration standards such as FHIR, SCRIPT, or EHR data sources.
  • Experience working on highly regulated or high-availability systems.
  • Frontend experience (e.g., React), though the role is primarily backend-focused.
  • Background as a well-rounded or full-stack engineer.
