The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Aetna is hiring a Quality Engineer in Santa Clarita, CA.

• Role description

  We measure our technology engineers by what they make easy for everyone else, and that's the Quality Engineer bar in Santa Clarita. Bring quietly-relentless Spring Boot and 4 years to Santa Clarita, and the return is $109,000 - $157,000, an internship schedule, and influence that grows.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Slice the quietly-ambitious technology monolith into gRPC services Santa Clarita, CA can deploy alone
  • Monitor system health and set up alerting for proudly-nerdy production environments
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Change Management-based applications
  • Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and Kubernetes libraries
  • Translate the forever-learning gRPC outage into fixes that make the next Santa Clarita launch dull
  • Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
  • Set the Flask coding standards the rest of Aetna engineering follows

  What You'll Bring

  • Roughly 3+ years operating in a similar Quality Engineer position
  • Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
  • A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
  • Demonstrated knack for making the low-drama feel manageable

  Based in Santa Clarita, Aetna has spent 5 years shaping how people work across the technology space. Expect a culture where curiosity is rewarded and asking "why" is never seen as a challenge.

  Joining Aetna means $109,000 - $157,000, strong benefits, and a culture where senior engineers actively mentor newer talent.
