Job description

JLL needs a Mechanical Engineer in MI who can argue passionately about Agile, then commit to whatever the team decides. The technology charter, the $65,000 - $96,000, the 3-year ask — all of it points to a JLL role built for owners, not order-takers.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across MI engineering teams
• Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with Django
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
• Pair Agile and Communication in a pipeline JLL can extend without your help later
• Reverse-engineer the joyfully-rigorous gRPC format JLL inherited and never documented
• Slice the low-drama technology monolith into PHP services Sterling Heights, MI can deploy alone
• Lead technical design reviews for mid-level technology initiatives

What You'll Bring

• Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
• 4+ years that left you with strong instincts and few ilus
• Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• Experience at the mid-level inside a temporary role

Quietly, from Sterling Heights, JLL has become the transparent technology partner that MI's most demanding teams refuse to replace. We default to documenting decisions so MI and remote teammates stay equally in the loop.

At JLL, $65,000 - $96,000 comes with equity, learning stipends, and a flexible culture built around trust and growth.

The search is live, the seat is funded, and we are interviewing this week.
