Come build the backend that powers our unfussy products, writing Java that holds up under serious load. You'll bring 5 years of REST API, and in return get $108,000 - $160,000, a supportive team, and the freedom to drive your own results.
Key Responsibilities
- Build the nimble Conflict Resolution feature that wins back the MA accounts Aetna lost
- Turn Aetna's REST API on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
- Translate the ego-light Tailwind CSS outage into fixes that make the next Boston launch dull
- Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
- Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
- Ship the quietly-ambitious Kafka features that move Aetna's technology roadmap forward
What You'll Bring
- Roughly 3+ years operating in a similar Mechanical Engineer position
- A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam
- Solid understanding of technology best practices and industry standards
- The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
- Real Terraform chops, plus the Cypress curiosity to keep growing
We are Aetna, a warm-yet-rigorous technology company headquartered in Boston, MA. Burnout is treated as a system bug at Aetna, not a badge of autonomy-driven honor.
Our $108,000 - $160,000 package travels with real mentorship, a growth ladder you can see, and the flexibility to clock in from Boston or home.
This role is being actively staffed, with offers expected before the quarter closes.
Got the drive and the Rust? we'd love to see your application.
