Software Engineer

The Corporate Applications team at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee is seeking a Software Engineer to support Compliance, Finance, and Legal systems across a mix of vendor‑provided SaaS and on‑premise applications. This role is well suited for an engineer who is both technically curious and comfortable taking ownership, and who enjoys working across a broad technology landscape rather than a single product or framework. You’ll partner closely with vendors and internal stakeholders, contribute ideas, and help guide solutions from problem statement through implementation—developing your technical depth while building leadership through influence, collaboration, and accountability. If you’re someone who enjoys learning new technologies, asking good questions, and stepping up to help teams deliver reliable, customer‑focused solutions, you’ll find strong growth and impact opportunities in this role.

• Experience with ASP.NET, Visual Studio, C#, Python, and REST/SOAP APIs
• Proficiency with Microsoft SQL Server or other relational databases
• Experience with system integrations (APIs, file exchanges, e‑signatures, reporting, data storage)
• Strong data analysis, reporting, and troubleshooting skills

Preferred Skills:

• Experience leveraging AI‑assisted tools to capture requirements, document processes, generate technical artifacts (e.g., run books, user stories), and improve development efficiency
• Familiarity with applying AI or automation solutions to enhance workflows, data analysis, documentation, and decision‑making
• Ability to evaluate, validate, and govern AI‑generated outputs to ensure accuracy, security, and alignment with business and technical standards

Note:

• Sponsorship is not available for this role.
• An on‑call rotation is required once every third sprint, primarily during business hours, with occasional evening or weekend support for deployments, validations, or urgent production issues.
