  • Experience developing and consuming web-based, RESTful APIs
  • Experience with relational and non-relational database systems
  • Proficiency with scalable search technology
  • Competence in handling and scaling large data sets and their storage
  • Experience using version control systems
  • Experience working in a team environment that uses agile methodologies
  • Experience authoring developer-friendly documentation
  • Experience communicating technical concepts to a non-technical audience

Travel Requirements
This is a remote position; however, occasional travel may be required based on project needs, client meetings, team collaboration events, or training sessions. Travel is expected to be less than 10% and will be communicated in advance whenever possible.
EEO Statement
Aretum is committed to fostering a workplace rooted in excellence, integrity, and equal opportunity for all. We adhere to merit-based hiring practices, ensuring that all employment decisions are made based on qualifications, skills, and ability to perform the job, without preference or consideration of factors unrelated to job performance.
As an Equal Opportunity Employer, Aretum complies with all applicable federal, state, and local employment laws.
We are proud to support our nation's veterans and military families, providing career opportunities that honor their service and experience.
