Overview

 

How You Can Make a Difference

The Manager, Software Engineering is a hands‑on technical leader responsible for building, modernizing, and operating software solutions for HealthEquity’s COBRA platform, a mission‑critical legacy system in a regulated domain.

Reporting to a Director of Software Engineering, this role leads a blended team of onshore and offshore engineers, owns technical execution and delivery outcomes, and works in close partnership with Product, Architecture, Security, and Operations. The manager is accountable for both day‑to‑day platform stability and the definition and execution of a long‑term technical modernization strategy, using Agentic AI as a required accelerator in alignment with HealthEquity’s engineering productivity and modernization goals.

 

In this role, you will have a direct impact on the stability, evolution, and future of a mission‑critical HealthEquity platform. You will help modernize a complex, regulated system while keeping it reliable for customers and partners, elevate how teams apply engineering rigor and AI‑accelerated workflows, and develop engineers who will shape the long‑term health of the platform. The COBRA platform is foundational to HealthEquity’s business. This role is critical to maintaining platform stability, meeting regulatory obligations, and executing a responsible modernization strategy—while accelerating engineering effectiveness through disciplined use of Agentic AI.

 

What You’ll Be Doing

You will lead a blended onshore and offshore engineering team, remain hands‑on in technical decision‑making, and turn business and regulatory requirements into clear, executable technical outcomes. You’ll balance day‑to‑day platform operations with longer‑term modernization efforts, embedding Agentic AI into how the team builds, tests, modernizes, and supports software.

Technical Leadership & Modernization Execution

• Remain hands‑on with system design, architecture, code reviews, and complex problem solving across the application stack.
• Lead the technical modernization of the COBRA platform, balancing near‑term regulatory and operational commitments with long‑term architectural health.
• Define, sequence, and execute a pragmatic modernization roadmap, applying incremental modernization patterns while maintaining production stability.
• Ensure engineering practices meet HealthEquity standards for code quality, security, performance, test automation, and maintainability.
• Oversee the design and governance of data warehouse solutions that support COBRA platform reporting, compliance, and operational analytics needs.
• Lead the evaluation, optimization, and modernization of SSIS/SSRS/ETL jobs, ensuring reliable, auditable data movement across source systems, staging layers, and reporting environments.

• This role is well suited for a Principal or Staff Engineer ready to step into people leadership for the right reasons—to multiply impact through teams, steward complex systems, and drive sustainable platform evolution.

   

Agentic AI as an Engineering Accelerator (Required)

• Embed Agentic AI into software development and support workflows to accelerate:
• Legacy code comprehension and documentation
• Test design, automation, and maintenance
• Refactoring and modernization efforts
• Production support, incident analysis, and defect resolution
• Ensure AI usage is secure, compliant, auditable, and aligned with enterprise governance.
• Set expectations that AI is a force multiplier for disciplined engineers, not a substitute for sound technical judgment or accountability.

Team Leadership, Delivery & Capacity Management

• Lead, coach, and develop a hybrid onshore and offshore engineering team, establishing clear roles, ownership boundaries, and performance expectations.
• Own sprint execution, capacity planning, and throughput, ensuring effective utilization of internal teams and vendor partners.
• Provide clear
