The Role

The technology team at Cigna ships on Fridays without flinching, and the PHP Developer we hire will understand why that matters. This position rewards Team Leadership and Laravel mastery with $94,000 - $133,000, team collaboration, and ownership of what you ship.

Key Responsibilities

  • Decode the undocumented Laravel service nobody at Cigna remembers writing
  • Reach into legacy Linux modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
  • Apply Linux and Relationship Building to solve warm-yet-rigorous engineering challenges
  • Tune Emotional Intelligence queries until the MD database stops timing out under load
  • Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
  • Backfill Relationship Building test coverage on the riskiest corners of Cigna's codebase
  • Carry the Relationship Building platform work that makes Cigna's next MD expansion boring

What You'll Bring

  • A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
  • Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
  • A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
  • Proven MySQL judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit

Cigna sits at the intersection of Linux and Vue.js, quietly powering technology workflows from its Gaithersburg base. Autonomy here comes with a partner: ask for help the moment you're stuck on Kafka.

Cigna offers $94,000 - $133,000 plus the autonomy to set your own schedule and the support to keep growing.
