Senior Software Engineer

In this position...

We are seeking a highly skilled engineer to design, build, and operate large-scale, cloud-native systems that power Ford's connected vehicle capabilities. In this role, you will design and support mission-critical cloud platform components, own services that directly impact customer experiences, and help shape the technical direction of platforms operating at extreme scale. You will balance strong data-driven decision-making with the ability to move forward effectively when information is incomplete.
