Cleveland OH US, Mayfield Heights, OH, US

Today Requisition ID: 1587

Salary Range: $23.00 To $26.00 Hourly

About This Role

We are doing what many IT teams discuss but seldom achieve: giving end users practical tools to solve problems in real time without risking production systems.

We are a manufacturing company. Our users include plant supervisors, shift managers, and engineers. If a tool is not simple and fast, it will not get used. Keep that in mind in everything you build.

YOU MUST RESIDE IN CLEVELAND, OH OR GREENVILLE, SC TO BE CONSIDERED!

What You Will Own

• Governance framework: standards, templates, naming conventions, and the approval process that separates what is safe to self-serve from what needs architecture review
• Deployment risk model: the ruleset that keeps end user code away from production SAP, Salesforce, Snowflake, and MES systems unless it has been properly reviewed
• End user enablement: guided paths so business users can build simple tools themselves using sanctioned access, without opening a ticket every time
• Application delivery: working dashboards, data tools, forms, and utilities; documented so others can build from your work

What We Are Looking For

• Python: scripting and lightweight web apps (Flask, Streamlit)
• Node.js: lightweight server-side logic and simple APIs
• SQL: you will pull from Snowflake and other sources regularly
• JSON and REST API consumption using pre-approved IT-published endpoints
• Git: if it is not tracked, it does not get deployed
• Basic AWS: S3, Lambda, and IAM at a working level
• Documentation: clear writing, policies people will read, written artifacts as source of truth

The governance side of this role matters as much as the code. We need someone who can write a standard, explain why it exists, train a non-technical user on it, and hold the line when someone tries to skip a step.

Background That Gets Our Attention

Degree or no degree, we want evidence you have built real things for real users and thought carefully about what happens when your code touches data that matters.

Strong signals

IT co-op or internship at a manufacturing or industrial company, a project where you built something and then trained users on it, any ERP or enterprise system exposure (even read-only), documentation or SOP writing in a prior role.

Fits well

Computer Science, Information Systems, MIS, Industrial Engineering with CS focus. Strong GitHub history with documented projects will be considered seriously.

What sets someone apart

Streamlit or Flask apps used by non-technical users, experience governing AI-generated code rather than just running it, any SAP or ERP data familiarity, manufacturing environment experience even outside of IT.

Who Will Thrive Here

This team runs lean. You will not get a fully scoped spec. You will be expected to figure out what needs to exist, build it, document it, and adjust based on feedback from users who may not know what they need until they see it.

We value transparency, direct communication, and written documentation over verbal agreements. If something is not working, say so early. If a decision is made, write it down.
