• Conduct code reviews, unit testing, defect resolution, root-cause analysis, and technical quality assessments.
• Support system integration testing, regression testing and production implementation.
• Troubleshoot complex claims, membership, eligibility, and regulatory processing issues.
• Develop reusable engineering approaches where regulatory requirements are common while accommodating state-specific variations.
• Maintain technical specifications, mappings, configuration documentation, traceability and implementation artifacts.
