The Role
This is a chance to ship code that matters, working with Jenkins on systems serving high-traffic workloads. Here $129,000 - $190,000 buys not just your time but a stake in the technology work, the kind Aetna trusts senior people to steer.
Key Responsibilities
- Tune MySQL caching so Aetna survives the Boulder launch spike on the same hardware
- Question the deeply-curious PostgreSQL pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
- Trace an unfussy technology bug across three CI/CD services to the one bad line
- Pair-program tricky Problem Solving edge cases with engineers across Boulder, CO
- Lead technical design reviews for senior technology initiatives
What You'll Bring
- A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
- Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
- The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
- The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
- Working understanding of both Kafka and Problem Solving in real-world settings
Aetna grew out of a Boulder, CO research lab and never lost its customer-obsessed, question-everything approach to Kafka. Disagreement is welcome here, but once we decide, the whole Aetna team rows in the same direction.
Earn a $129,000 - $190,000 base while a mentor accelerates your jump from senior to lead, with benefits and flexibility along for the ride.
