The Role

Our technology stack is growing faster than our team, so Illinois Tool Works is bringing on a VP of Engineering to keep the architecture honest. At Illinois Tool Works, $207,000 - $295,000 buys a vp seat, but 13 years of Nginx buys you the ownership that comes with it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Mentor newer vp hires on how Illinois Tool Works actually wires Nginx together
  • Carry a scrappy Persuasion feature through code freeze without breaking Illinois Tool Works stability
  • Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Change Management acceptance criteria
  • Refine and maintain microservices that support Illinois Tool Works customers in Hot Springs, AR
  • Ship Persuasion experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks

What You'll Bring

  • The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
  • Familiarity with Change Management and related tools or frameworks
  • Solid GraphQL grounding, plus MongoDB you can pick up on the fly
  • A data-driven bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
  • A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
  • Working understanding of both Change Management and Laravel in real-world settings

Few people outside AR realize that Illinois Tool Works powers a surprising slice of the technology infrastructure running across Hot Springs, AR today. The generously-mentoring pace here is real, but so is the permission to log off and recover.

We back our team with $207,000 - $295,000, equity, top-tier health benefits, and the flexibility to work where you do your best thinking.

Candidates who apply now are entering a live, in-progress hiring process.

Show us the MongoDB that doesn't fit neatly on a resume; apply and let it shine.
