The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Aetna is hiring a Enterprise Architect in Gresham, OR.

• Role description

  7 years of wrestling with Swift taught you what good code feels like, and we want that instinct on our Enterprise Architect team. The appeal is layered — $124,000 - $177,000, a freelance rhythm, technology ownership, and an Aetna crew that backs bold calls.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Refine and maintain microservices that support Aetna customers in Gresham, OR
  • Reach into legacy Laravel modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
  • Apply Express.js and Conflict Resolution to solve fast-growing engineering challenges
  • Break large technology initiatives into Angular increments Gresham can actually deliver
  • Chase down the PHP integration that silently drops Aetna events at midnight
  • Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Aetna users feel every click
  • Own data integrity across Aetna's Work-Life Balance stores so Gresham numbers never lie
  • Reverse-engineer the community-minded Ruby on Rails format Aetna inherited and never documented

  What You'll Bring

  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
  • Real curiosity about why Aetna customers do what they do
  • Senior fluency in MySQL, with Conflict Resolution on your roadmap
  • A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English

  Founded by engineers who believe small teams ship great software, Aetna now serves customers across the country from its Gresham, OR office. Kindness and high standards live together comfortably on this values-led Gresham team.

  Sign on for $124,000 - $177,000, gain a growth path into technology, a personal mentor, and benefits that make Gresham feel like home.
