Remote Deployment Manager Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

We are an ITAR-regulated company. To be considered for employment with us, you must be either a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

This role requires approximately 40% domestic and international travel during the first year. Travel is primarily intended to build relationships, understand plant operations, and develop solutions alongside the people who will use them. The employee will have meaningful autonomy in planning travel based on business needs, project schedules, and coordination with plant and functional partners. As relationships and working practices become established, travel may decrease during the second year.

Salary range is subject to location, as this role can be remote.

• Write clean, maintainable, secure, testable, and documented code using disciplined software engineering practices such as source control, code review, testing, deployment, monitoring, and production support.
• Translate business and operational needs into technical designs, prototypes, working software, and scalable production applications.
• Build application components across the front end, service tier, APIs, integrations, automation workflows, and data layer as required by each solution.
• Diagnose defects, troubleshoot production issues, refactor prototypes, and harden internally developed or user-built solutions, for secure and supportable enterprise use.
• Review and validate AI-generated code for correctness, security, maintainability, performance, and production readiness.
• Establish reusable components, deployment patterns, templates, documentation, and support practices so successful solutions can be repeated across functions and manufacturing sites.
• Partner with IT architecture, security, infrastructure, data, and application teams, to ensure solutions meet enterprise standards for identity, access, data protection, logging, resiliency, integration, and responsible AI use.
• Support citizen developers and solution owners by establishing guardrails, providing technical coaching, and helping viable user-built solutions, move into governed production environments.
