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.

This is a highly influential individual contributor role focused on solving complex technical challenges, improving engineering effectiveness, and shaping the future of software development within Access Engineering. Success in this position is measured by organizational impact, technical leadership, and the outcomes enabled across teams rather than individual code contributions alone.
What You'll Do

  • Define and influence architectural direction across the Access Engineering portfolio.
  • Lead technical strategy for initiatives that span multiple products, systems, and engineering teams.
  • Evaluate architectural tradeoffs and guide teams toward scalable, maintainable solutions.

  • Reduce technical friction and operational overhead, enabling engineers to focus on delivering customer value.
  • Champion improvements that increase engineering velocity, quality, and sustainability.

AI-Enabled Engineering
  • Define and advance Access Engineering's strategy for AI-assisted software development and AI-enabled engineering practices.
  • Partner with enterprise AI teams to adopt established standards while identifying use cases specific to Access Engineering.
  • Evaluate tools, practices, and safeguards that support the responsible use of AI throughout the software development lifecycle.

Technical Mentorship & Influence
  • Mentor senior engineers and help strengthen technical leadership across the organization.
  • Foster a culture of technical excellence, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.
  • Influence engineering, product, and leadership stakeholders through technical expertise and strategic thinking.

Hands-On Technical Contribution
  • Remain actively engaged with implementation details to ensure architectural decisions are practical and executable.
  • Contribute to software design, prototyping, troubleshooting, and critical development efforts when appropriate.
  • Partner with engineering teams to solve complex technical and operational challenges.

Priority will be given to candidates who reside in the Columbus, OH metropolitan area.
We are unable to provide sponsorship for this role presently or in the future.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field; equivalent practical experience considered.
  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including experience designing and building enterprise-scale software systems.
  • Demonstrated experience leading technical initiatives across multiple teams, products, or organizational boundaries.
  • Experience designing distributed systems, APIs, integration platforms, or cloud-native applications.
  • Proven ability to influence technical direction without formal management authority.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and driving engineering best practices.

Critical & Required Skills
The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong capabilities in the following areas:
Software Architecture
  • Enterprise application architecture
  • Distributed systems design
  • Microservices and service-oriented architectures
  • API strategy and integration patterns
  • Event-driven architectures
  • System scalability and performance optimization

Engineering Leadership
  • Technical strategy and roadmap development
  • Cross-team collaboration and influence
  • Architectural governance and standards
  • Technical decision-making and tradeoff analysis
  • Leading large-scale, complex technical initiatives

Software Quality & Reliability

  • Production readiness and operational excellence

Cloud & Modern Development
  • Cloud-native architectures
  • CI/CD and DevOps practices
  • Infrastructure automation
  • Modern software engineering practices
  • Developer productivity and platform engineering concepts

AI Readiness & Engineering Innovation
  • Experience evaluating or implementing AI-assisted development tools
  • Understanding of responsible AI practices and governance considerations
  • Ability to identify practical AI use cases that improve engineering effectiveness

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in healthcare technology, health tech, pharmacy technology, payer technology, or regulated industries.
  • Familiarity with prior authorization workflows, healthcare interoperability, or healthcare integrations.
  • Experience supporting engineering organizations with 50+ developers across multiple products.
  • Experience building developer platforms, shared services, or internal engineering tooling.
  • Experience with architectural modernization initiatives involving legacy systems.
  • Experience implementing engineering effectiveness metrics and software quality frameworks.
  • Experience with AWS or other major cloud platforms.
  • Prior experience serving as a Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, Lead Architect, or equivalent senior individual contributor.
