About Cigna

Let us tell you a little more about us. Cigna exists to improve lives. Together, with our 74,000 employees worldwide that service Cigna, Express Scripts and other affiliate customers, we aspire to transform health services, making them more affordable and accessible to millions.

We are going through an exciting period of expansion; at the centre of our International division’s ambitious growth strategy we are currently working towards multi-year effort to implement a consistent digital strategy for the International Markets (IM).

About the Job

The DevOps Engineer has a fantastic opportunity to help bring the benefits of DevOps to a wider audience throughout Europe, APAC and North America.  Key to our ongoing success is a growth mindset and understanding the value of culture over tooling, as well as outcomes over output.

We develop in multiple cloud platforms (Public and Private), traditional Datacentres and Salesforce, so the DevOps Engineer will need to be an application or infrastructure SME in at least one of these areas, with the ability to upskill quickly in the others as required.
