The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Aetna is hiring a Data Engineer in Salt Lake City, UT.

• Role description

  Our Data Engineer role rewards the underdog-spirited habit of writing the test before you trust the feature, especially around Scikit-learn. At Aetna, $110,000 - $156,000 buys a senior seat, but 7 years of Excel buys you the ownership that comes with it.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Mentor the senior cohort through their first real Power BI on-call at Aetna
  • Bridge Accountability and Statistical Modeling so the two halves of Aetna's platform finally talk
  • Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
  • Track and report on key performance metrics for technology services
  • Decode the undocumented Scikit-learn service nobody at Aetna remembers writing

  What You'll Bring

  • Practical Scikit-learn skills sharpened in a part-time setting
  • Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively
  • Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
  • Experience thriving in a thoughtfully-bold, deadline-driven setting like Aetna
  • A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements

  Aetna turned a frustration with technology into a quietly-ambitious business that now serves customers far beyond UT. Politics die fast at Aetna because we put the awkward stuff on the table early.

  Compensation lands at $110,000 - $156,000, mentorship is built in, and the path from here to senior technology work is mapped, not vague.

  We refreshed the dates so you know this part-time role is current.
