Top SchoolJustin Safford is a Director of Engineering with a decade of hands-on experience leading XP and Scrum teams to deliver cloud-native, client-facing products in large enterprises. Currently managing 10+ product teams in CVS Health’s PBM space, he blends human-centered design with strict security and cloud standards to modernize underwriting and revenue-generating applications. He’s known for driving digital transformation—teaching Agile/XP practices, establishing coding and cloud standards, and shipping the company’s first externally exposed cloud app under a tight COO-imposed deadline. Comfortable pairing with stakeholders and platform partners (Google, Azure, networking, and security), he also brings deep practical experience in microservices, CI/CD, Terraform/Ansible, and data-streaming systems from prior roles. Colleagues rely on him to unstick troubled products and to turn cross-functional complexity into repeatable, reusable delivery patterns.
