The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  3M is hiring a Automation Engineer in Iowa City, IA.

• Role description

  The Automation Engineer we hire will help 3M pay down years of technical debt without anyone calling it a rewrite, using API Testing sparingly and well. Trade your Exploratory Testing and 4 years for $85,000 - $116,000 at 3M, and the growth that follows is yours to build.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity
  • Translate fuzzy product wishes from 3M stakeholders into shippable API Testing services
  • Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
  • Reproduce the low-drama bug from the Iowa City field report, then make it impossible again
  • Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
  • Guard the Cross-Functional Collaboration codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
  • Translate the endlessly-iterating Load Testing outage into fixes that make the next Iowa City launch dull

  What You'll Bring

  • The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
  • Demonstrated calm when an Iowa City, IA client changes scope mid-stream
  • Demonstrated Load Testing expertise in a fast-moving technology environment
  • Hands-on familiarity with Cross-Functional Collaboration, sharpened by Self-Motivation side projects
  • Real curiosity about why 3M customers do what they do

  The founders of 3M left bigger companies to build something deadline-driven in Iowa City, and technology has been better for it. We assume good intent first and ask clarifying questions second, which keeps the question-everything days drama-free.

  With $85,000 - $116,000 as the anchor, expect mentorship, a benefits package worth bragging about, and the latitude to work remote-first.

  This role is being actively staffed, with offers expected before the quarter closes.

  We believe great hires begin with a hello, so introduce yourself and apply today.
