Cigna runs lean, deploys often, and now needs a senior Performance Engineer who finds that combination exciting rather than terrifying. For someone 7 years deep in Java, this Raleigh job means $97,000 - $135,000, a remote cadence, and genuine influence.
Key Responsibilities
- Build Scrum dashboards so Cigna's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
- Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Raleigh, NC production without dropping the baton
- Wrangle RabbitMQ config across environments so Raleigh staging mirrors production
- Spike a Resilience proof of concept fast when Cigna needs a yes-or-no answer
- Pull Cigna's Express.js stack out of the NC region before the migration deadline
- Document the Resilience system so the next senior engineer onboards in days, not weeks
- Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with Google Cloud
- Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and PHP libraries
What You'll Bring
- Hands-on command of Express.js, with Adaptability as a close second
- The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
- Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
- 5 or more years steering technology projects end to end
- A track record of customer-centric delivery in a remote structure
- Familiarity with the rhythms of a mission-soaked remote team
- Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
