Job description

This is a chance to ship code that matters, working with Django on systems serving high-traffic workloads. What you're really weighing is $56,000 - $88,000 against 1 years, with technology ownership and Aetna growth tipping the scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
• Reverse-engineer the plainspoken Django format Aetna inherited and never documented
• Keep Aetna's AWS dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
• Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems

What You'll Bring

• Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
• The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
• Prior experience working on-site in Metairie, LA, or willingness to relocate
• 1 years of Mentoring práctica, plus a hunger for what's next
• 1+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illustrations
• A Metairie network, or the hustle to build one from scratch

Aetna has spent 1 years turning technology headaches into routine wins for clients across Metairie, LA. Ownership runs deep here: you'll own outcomes, not just tasks, from your first week as an Unreal Developer.

In return for your PostgreSQL expertise, you'll earn $56,000 - $88,000 along with 401(k) matching and flexible remote options.

We are growing the Aetna team in LA and adding this position immediately.
