Contractual Financial Software Developer Jobs in Wisconsin

Job Summary
Company Background:
Rooted in the traditional metals industry and powered by the industrial heritage of thyssenkrupp, we don't build software from the sidelines. We build it where value is created: on the shop floor. In an environment of shrinking margins, rising complexity, and constant pressure to perform, we make production and distribution operations ready for what's next.
With toii®, our powerful, modular MES suite built on a robust IoT foundation, we cut through complexity. We connect systems, machines, and devices that were never meant to work together - and make them talk. The real impact? We give our customers back what matters most: their people's time. By eliminating artificial work and removing humans as stopgaps between disconnected technologies, we deliver the right information to the right people, exactly when and where it counts. Less noise. Fewer frictions. Better decisions. Real results - every single day.
And we don't stop at shipping software. Our software and field engineers are on site, in the trenches, from first idea to full rollout and beyond. Because software alone doesn't change operations. Partnership does. Backed by deep industry DNA and a relentless service mindset, we turn tools into solutions and ambition into performance.
Currently we are extending our European thyssenkrupp IoT software business, with the office being based in Germany, to the US to better serve our existing and future customers. To this end, we are looking for team players and pragmatic IT professionals with a hands-on mentality to build up the new US office in Kenosha.
You have an entrepreneurial spirit, and you are driven to combine cutting-edge technology with industrial grit? Let's talk!
