The opportunity

Help Humana engineer the next generation of our platform, one well-tested Go commit at a time. A freelance Software Engineer role that values ownership over busywork, pays $77,000 - $109,000, and invests in your long-term growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Go-based applications
  • Re-architect the technology flow so Collaboration handles ten times Albuquerque's current load
  • Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
  • Automate the manual Agile chores that quietly drain Albuquerque, NM engineering hours
  • Sit with technology users in Albuquerque to learn what the REST API tool really needs
  • Reach into legacy Initiative modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
  • Pull Humana's Mentoring stack out of the NM region before the migration deadline
  • Own data integrity across Humana's Python stores so Albuquerque numbers never lie

What You'll Bring

  • A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
  • A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
  • A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
  • The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses

At its core, Humana is a service-minded bet that Albuquerque, NM can out-build anyone when it comes to Kafka. Honest feedback is a gift here, and we try to wrap it kindly before we hand it over.

We pay $77,000 - $109,000 and protect it with coaching, coverage, and a flexible setup so your Jest grows without burning you out.

The search is live, the seat is funded, and we are interviewing this week.

If this client-centric role reads like your wishlist, do yourself a favor and apply.
