Job description

We engineer high-availability platforms, and we are searching for a Site Reliability Engineer fluent in AWS Solutions Architect to keep them humming. The proposition holds together — $83,000 - $127,000, 3 years, a FL base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.

Key Responsibilities

• Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real PostgreSQL on-call at Illinois Tool Works
• Coordinate releases with stakeholders across St. Petersburg, FL and remote teams
• Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Illinois Tool Works users feel every click
• Reverse-engineer the slow-to-anger Initiative format Illinois Tool Works inherited and never documented
• Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across FL engineering teams

What You'll Bring

• A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam
• A track record of customer-centric delivery in a remote structure
• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
• Real proficiency with Cost Optimization, plus willingness to learn RabbitMQ fast
• A St. Petersburg grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
• A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
• Solid understanding of technology best practices and industry standards

Across FL, the flexible technology systems people trust most often turn out to be Illinois Tool Works, built quietly in St. Petersburg. Our values show up in small daily choices, not just a poster on the wall.

What sits behind the $83,000 - $127,000 offer is an Illinois Tool Works culture built on real mentorship, generous benefits, and schedules that bend toward family.
