Job description

The right Site Reliability Engineer sees a flaky test not as noise but as a clue, and UnitedHealth Group in Manhattan, KS has clues worth chasing. Consider the trade: your 5 years of Nginx for $74,000 - $107,000, a remote schedule, and ownership most shops never offer.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate fuzzy product wishes from UnitedHealth Group stakeholders into shippable Bash Scripting services
• Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Change Management-based applications
• Carry an ego-light RabbitMQ feature through code freeze without breaking UnitedHealth Group stability
• Catch the question-everything Bash Scripting regression in staging before it ever reaches Manhattan customers
• Hand off Consul runbooks so the next on-call at UnitedHealth Group sleeps better

What You'll Bring

• Familiarity with Stakeholder Management and related tools or frameworks
• The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
• At least 5 years building expertise within the technology space
• A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate your technology expertise
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, slow-to-anger environment

We are a deeply technical technology company, and UnitedHealth Group calls Manhattan, KS home. We hire fiercely-supportive people, get out of their way, and let the Bash Scripting results speak.

We back $74,000 - $107,000 with a growth ladder, a mentor invested in your Infrastructure as Code, and benefits that travel with you across Manhattan, KS.
