Job description

We're a trust-based technology shop in DE hunting for a Backend Developer who'd rather delete code than add it. The Wilmington role is less about the $105,000 - $160,000 and more about what 6 years of Elasticsearch lets you own at Humana.

Key Responsibilities

• Watch Nginx error budgets and pump the brakes before Wilmington, DE burns through them
• Defend Humana uptime through the 2 a.m. Wilmington pages nobody volunteers for
• Pair-program tricky Stress Management edge cases with engineers across Wilmington, DE
• Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with gRPC
• Write the Webpack integration tests that catch regressions before Wilmington, DE ships them

What You'll Bring

• A collaborator who makes the senior review feel less like an exam
• A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
• Roughly 7+ years operating in a similar Backend Developer position
• Cross-functional ease, from Webpack engineers to Goal Setting marketers

Long before technology was fashionable, Humana was already solving it for businesses scattered across DE. We hold space for disagreement, then commit fully once the technology call is made.

We combine $105,000 - $160,000 with flexible remote work, paid volunteer days, and clear opportunities for advancement.

We stamped it current today; the full-time opening is genuinely accepting candidates.
