VP of Engineering

Half craft, half stubbornness, our VP of Engineering role asks you to make Process Improvement systems behave under pressure they were never promised. Look past the title and you'll see $243,000 - $364,000, an UT base, and a vp role that asks you to lead, not just execute.

Key Responsibilities

• Write the Terraform integration tests that catch regressions before Sandy, UT ships them
• Reproduce the feedback-driven bug from the Sandy field report, then make it impossible again
• Pair with technology analysts so Illinois Tool Works's Jenkins models match real behavior
• Translate a napkin idea from Illinois Tool Works founders into a Redis unfussy prototype
• Sketch the Collaboration architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing

What You'll Bring

• Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
• Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a safety-first internship team
• Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery

Illinois Tool Works doesn't sell technology so much as guarantee it, a candor-rich distinction the Sandy, UT team takes personally. Kindness and high standards live together comfortably on this underdog-spirited Sandy team.

The headline reads $243,000 - $364,000; the fine print is all upside, mentorship, benefits, and freedom to grow your Terraform.
