Lead Software Developer (.NET) & Head of thyssenkrupp IoT U.S. Office

CompanyWith around 480 locations in over 40 countries, thyssenkrupp Materials Services is the biggest materials distributor and service provider in the western world. The broad service spectrum offered by the materials experts enables customers to focus on their individual core business. The area of Materials Services spans two strategic areas: global materials distribution as one-stop-shop - from steel and stainless steel, tubes and pipes, nonferrous metals and specialty materials to plastics and raw materials - and tailored services in the areas of materials management and supply chain management. An extensive omnichannel architecture offers 250,000 customers worldwide cross-channel, round-the-clock access to more than 150,000 products and services. A highly efficient logistics system ensures that all requested services are smoothly integrated into customer production processes "just-in-time" or "just-in-sequence". thyssenkrupp Materials NA is a subsidiary of the internationally operating thyssenkrupp Group. Headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, thyssenkrupp Materials NA is a leading provider of production materials and integrated service solutions with almost 2,900 employees and more than 95 locations in North America. With annual sales of $2.9 billion, the company is focused on value-added processing and distribution of a full line of aluminum, stainless, copper, brass, specialty metals, steel, and plastics products. Supply chain management, transportation and logistics, and production support outsourcing solutions are among the many services provided to customers. Business units include Copper and Brass Sales, Engineered Plastics, Ken-Mac Metals, OnlineMetals, thyssenkrupp Steel Services, thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services, and thyssenkrupp Materials de Mexico.

Rooted in the traditional metals industry and powered by the industrial heritage of thyssenkrupp, we don't build software from the sidelines. We build it where value is created: on the shop floor. In an environment of shrinking margins, rising complexity, and constant pressure to perform, we make production and distribution operations ready for what's next.

With toii, our powerful, modular MES suite built on a robust IoT foundation, we cut through complexity. We connect systems, machines, and devices that were never meant to work together - and make them talk. The real impact? We give our customers back what matters most: their people's time. By eliminating artificial work and removing humans as stopgaps between disconnected technologies, we deliver the right information to the right people, exactly when and where it counts. Less noise. Fewer frictions. Better decisions. Real results - every single day.

And we don't stop at shipping software. Our software and field engineers are on site, in the trenches, from first idea to full rollout and beyond. Because software alone doesn't change operations. Partnership does. Backed by deep industry DNA and a relentless service mindset, we turn tools into solutions and ambition into performance.

Currently we are extending our European thyssenkrupp IoT software business, with the office being based in Germany, to the US to better serve our existing and future customers. To this end, we are looking for team players and pragmatic IT professionals with a hands‑on mentality to build up the new US office in Kenosha.
