The opportunity

The AWS Engineer we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; Cigna is honest about both. At Cigna the $125,000 - $180,000 matters, sure, but so does owning the technology outcome with 7 years of Infrastructure as Code behind it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
  • Lead Grafana design reviews that catch the costly mistakes before Rockville, MD builds them
  • Spike an Amazon EKS proof of concept fast when Cigna needs a yes-or-no answer
  • Automate the manual GitOps chores that quietly drain Rockville, MD engineering hours
  • Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Rockville, MD and remote teams
  • Watch Python error budgets and pump the brakes before Rockville, MD burns through them
  • Resurrect flaky Amazon EKS tests until the Rockville, MD suite is trustworthy again
  • Build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces with Infrastructure as Code

What You'll Bring

  • 7+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
  • A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake

Cigna treats Rockville, MD as both home and laboratory, prototyping tinker-friendly technology ideas no larger rival would risk. Giving and receiving direct feedback is a skill we practice openly across every level.

The offer rewards both ends, $125,000 - $180,000 for your PagerDuty today and mentorship for the senior leader you become tomorrow.
