The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Blue Cross Blue Shield is hiring a Engineering Manager in Grand Rapids, MI.

• Role description

  Blue Cross Blue Shield needs a hands-on Engineering Manager who can architect, code, and deploy without losing sight of quality. You'll take full ownership of Flask initiatives, work alongside a strong team, and earn $98,000 - $135,000 in this freelance role.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Design React APIs other Grand Rapids, MI teams will still thank you for next year
  • Own the quietly-relentless C# subsystem that the rest of Blue Cross Blue Shield quietly depends on
  • Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Grand Rapids, MI production without dropping the baton
  • Carry the MongoDB platform work that makes Blue Cross Blue Shield's next MI expansion boring
  • Guard the Java codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
  • Keep Blue Cross Blue Shield's MongoDB dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
  • Comfort with freelance arrangements and the rhythms of an inclusive workplace
  • Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
  • Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations

  Most of Blue Cross Blue Shield still fits in one Grand Rapids building, and that fast-growing closeness is exactly why its technology work stays sharp. Our MI crew runs on candor, caffeine, and a stubborn refusal to ship sloppy work.

  At Blue Cross Blue Shield, you'll find $98,000 - $135,000, a four-day flex week option, and ongoing coaching to deepen your Redis skills.

  We bumped the date today, signaling this Engineering Manager search is ongoing.
