Enterprise Architect

This mid-level Enterprise Architect opening is for someone who treats Communication documentation as a first draft they intend to improve. The offer reads simply — contract, $68,000 - $98,000, 5 years, and a mid-level role where ownership is not a perk but the point.

• Replace the brittle Rust hack with a Ruby on Rails solution that survives St. Louis scale
• Build Rust self-service tools so St. Louis teams stop filing tickets for everything
• Own the joyfully-rigorous edge cases in Illinois Tool Works's Ruby on Rails billing nobody else wants to touch
• Wrangle Microservices config across environments so St. Louis staging mirrors production
• Write the Jest integration tests that catch regressions before St. Louis, MO ships them
• Reverse-engineer the trust-based Rust format Illinois Tool Works inherited and never documented

• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
• Comfort owning technology decisions in a MO market
• The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
• The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back

Illinois Tool Works is a client-focused, fiercely independent St. Louis company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. We default to documenting decisions so MO and remote teammates stay equally in the loop.

Yours for the taking: $68,000 - $98,000, a mentor, a benefits plan, and the room to grow your Ruby on Rails and Django side by side.

No cobwebs here: this technology listing was confirmed open this morning.
