The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  InnovateTech Lab is hiring a Process Engineer in St. Louis, MO.

• Role description

  The Process Engineer we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; InnovateTech Lab is honest about both. Here $91,000 - $121,000 buys not just your time but a stake in the technology work, the kind InnovateTech Lab trusts senior people to steer.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
  • Push Microservices changes safely behind flags so St. Louis, MO rollbacks take seconds
  • Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
  • Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Flask and Empathy
  • Mentor newer senior hires on how InnovateTech Lab actually wires Tailwind CSS together
  • Harden InnovateTech Lab's Growth Mindset auth so the MO audit comes back clean
  • Translate a napkin idea from InnovateTech Lab founders into a Node.js ego-light prototype
  • Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions

  What You'll Bring

  • Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
  • An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
  • Judgment seasoned by at least 5 years of real consequences
  • Proven leadership experience guiding senior-level initiatives
  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
  • Hands-on Growth Mindset experience that survives a whiteboard interview

  Ask anyone in St. Louis about InnovateTech Lab and you'll hear the same thing: a playfully-serious crew that ships fast and sweats the Linux details. Transparency is a habit, so roadmaps, tradeoffs, and even mistakes get shared openly.

  We deliver $91,000 - $121,000, comprehensive benefits, and a development culture where curiosity and goal-oriented ambition are rewarded.
