Scope of Work
At Illinois Tool Works, the Mobile Developer owns the problem end to end, from the first Python prototype to the 3 a.m. pager that never rings. Plainly put, Illinois Tool Works wants 4 years of Python, will pay $77,000 - $104,000, and expects you to own the result.
Key Responsibilities
- Refactor the technology module Illinois Tool Works has been afraid to touch
- Apply PHP and REST API to solve gloriously-unglamorous engineering challenges
- Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using REST API and Python
- Stand up observability so Illinois Tool Works sees failures before customers in VA do
- Guard the Coaching codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
- Ship incremental improvements to Illinois Tool Works's Roanoke platform on a regular cadence
- Keep the PHP build pipeline green so Roanoke deploys never wait on a red light
- Own the full lifecycle of technology systems from prototype to production
What You'll Bring
- Solid Empathy grounding, plus REST API you can pick up on the fly
- Proven leadership experience guiding mid-level-level initiatives
- A VA sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
- Comfort owning technology decisions in a VA market
- Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
- The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
