Configuration Specialist
VBA
United States · Remote
Posted on Feb 24, 2026
What are we looking for?
The Configuration Specialist is a platform-focused builder responsible for designing and executing structured system configuration within the VBA platform. This role requires strong operational judgment and a deep understanding of healthcare benefit plan builds, structure, and rules. You will translate approved solution designs into clean, scalable platform configurations while ensuring decisions support long-term stability and operational integrity.
The Configuration Specialist plays a critical role in understanding client intent, evaluating current-state setups, and supporting future-state configuration. You will assess how configuration decisions impact downstream processes — including claims, eligibility, accumulators, workflows, reporting, and integrations — and build accordingly.
Success in this role is measured by configuration accuracy, scalability of build patterns, clarity of documentation, and the sustained performance of client environments long after go-live.
What “Configuration” Means at VBA
At VBA, configuration is the structured translation of approved client benefit and operational requirements into system setup — without custom development.
Configuration includes:
- Building and maintaining benefit plans and reusable plan templates
- Structuring eligibility logic, accumulators, workflows, and operational rules
- Defining group hierarchies and system parameters
- Evaluating how plan build decisions impact downstream processes
- Applying standardized configuration patterns to support scalability
- Validating system behavior through structured testing
- Documenting configuration logic to ensure repeatability and long-term support
Configuration is how we operationalize a client’s business model inside VBA — accurately, consistently, and sustainably.
