Who We Are
McMaster-Carr is a leading e-commerce company offering products that help keep operations running smoothly, innovators designing the next generation of solutions, and makers creating and manufacturing. Our customers have trusted us for over 120 years.
We earn and keep that trust by offering the right products, making them easy to find, and delivering them fast. Our industry-leading e-commerce experience, indispensable product selection, and world-class service bring hundreds of thousands of customers to McMaster.com each day.
Our curious, exceptional people are at the heart of our evolution and customer experience. They turn new challenges and disruptive technologies into opportunities to refine our operations, expand our product offering, and deliver a better experience for every customer.
Our Culture
We intentionally cultivate a culture focused on clear execution and long-term growth. We are responsible for building systems that endure for decades and support the company's future. That responsibility means engineering work starts with a deep understanding of the problem and its impact, grounded in clear ownership, open communication, and direct feedback. Our teams are trusted to make thoughtful decisions about how work gets done, balancing a high bar for quality with practical execution. As an engineering leader here, you'll have significant autonomy with end-to-end ownership, making product decisions while building things that real people interact with directly.
Our team is onsite three days a week in Elmhurst, IL.

As you grow, you'll mentor others through code reviews and collaborate more broadly across teams. Over time, you'll deepen your expertise, explore new technologies, and bring fresh thinking to your team's biggest challenges.
As a Software Engineer 2, you'll work on projects like:
