Why you want to work at Flexion:

We're looking for a full-stack engineer with an unwavering passion for agile development and automation. Most of the work we do at Flexion is on large-scale, enterprise-wide systems (both commercial and government)-this project in particular will help ensure that millions of Americans receive high-quality healthcare.

Flexion is an agile software company that's been delivering excellence for over 24 years. Our company culture is built on autonomy, trust, and transparency. We empower self-directed teams by hiring people like you who can solve complex problems through collaboration. This means lending a hand and flexing your multi-skilled muscles (research, content, business analysis, information architecture, etc.) as needed. Every member within a cross-functional team is a leader who takes responsibility for the entire team's success, which mirrors the company's overall low bureaucracy structure.

What the job looks like:

You'll be part of a multi-disciplinary foundational components team tasked with improving DevOps and software engineering practices for government enterprise systems in healthcare. We strive to automate all things and build the highest quality software systems with modern, cloud-native tools and emerging technologies. The project work is primarily remote but may require some client on-site work estimated at

• You develop reusable patterns and encourage innovation that will increase team velocity.
• You drive a quality mindset within the team.
• You use your excellent communication skills to build relationships with other teams.

Why we want to hire you:

You can design small pieces as you go, while still thinking about how they fit into the whole. You welcome change as a positive thing and never look at anything you deliver as "final."

You demonstrate an unwavering commitment to automated code coverage.

You have these attributes:

• A history of technical leadership, excellent communications, relationship building, and a positive attitude.
