The Role
We don't need a Safety Engineer who knows everything about Tailwind CSS; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. What you're signing up for is $67,000 - $94,000, a contract cadence, technology ownership, and a Civic Innovation Lab team that rewards nerve.
Key Responsibilities
- Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
- Lead technical design reviews for mid-level technology initiatives
- Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
- Carry a customer-obsessed Go feature through code freeze without breaking Civic Innovation Lab stability
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
- Decode the undocumented Tailwind CSS service nobody at Civic Innovation Lab remembers writing
- Drive the Strategic Planning incident postmortem that stops the Rockford outage from recurring
What You'll Bring
- Familiarity with the rhythms of a deeply collaborative contract team
- Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
- Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
- Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a contract project
- Hands-on technology experience that holds up to follow-up questions
- Knowledge of IL-specific regulations relevant to technology work
- A track record of relentlessly-kind delivery in a contract structure
Civic Innovation Lab is the feedback-hungry Rockford company that turned a niche technology obsession into something the whole IL now uses. Curiosity outranks credentials on this technology team, so bring questions, not just answers.
Earn $67,000 - $94,000, sharpen your Strategic Planning beside a mentor, enjoy the benefits, and never apologize for needing a flexible Tuesday.
