Back-end Software Development Engineer

Dearborn, Michigan – Back‑end Software Development Engineer #1060508

At our company, we're not just building vehicles—we're redefining the future of connected mobility. The Device Connectivity Platform Engineering team sits at the core of this transformation, powering the sophisticated Connected Vehicle Cloud Platform that supports over 26 million vehicles worldwide and over 50 billion data points daily—and growing every day. As a Software Engineer on the device connectivity layer, you will play a key role in shaping the next generation of connected ecosystem.

We are looking for a highly motivated, technology focused individual with a passion to work on a collaborative software delivery team to enable the creation and management of Platforms and APIs deployed to the mobility ecosystem.

• Java used to design and build RESTful and gRPC based microservices with Spring Boot.
• Java applications packaged as Docker containers and deployed to Kubernetes/EKS clusters, with health‑check endpoints and readiness/liveness probes.
• Java‑based Kafka producers and consumers handle real‑time data streams of vehicle connectivity events; gRPC services enable low‑latency internal service‑to‑service communication alongside standard REST controllers for external‑facing APIs.
• Security built into these services using OAuth2/JWT‑based authentication and authorization.
• Follow TDD practices, integration tests, and instrument services with metrics and logging to support monitoring, alerting, and performance/load testing under high vehicle‑connection volumes, given the mission‑critical, 24x7 nature of the platform.

• AWS core cloud infrastructure platform for deploying, scaling, and operating the connected vehicle services.
• Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) host containerized microservices, with AWS‑native tooling for autoscaling, load balancing, and networking.
• Other AWS offerings such as S3, RDS for managed PostgreSQL and IAM for fine‑grained access control to build a secure, observable, highly available platform.
• Infrastructure as code discipline with Terraform to provision all AWS resources.
• CI/CD pipelines leveraging Concourse, static/dependency scanning (Sonar Qube, FOSSA), and deployment;
  ArgoCD handling Git Ops‑based continuous deployment to EKS clusters.
• Architect AWS services with redundancy, monitoring, and alerting to minimize downtime and support rapid incident response at scale.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent in a relevant field;
  Master’s degree desirable.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in cloud‑based software development.

• Proven experience in designing, deploying, and supporting cloud‑based solutions in production environments.
• Strong understanding of API design and integration methods for seamless systems and data exchange.
• Solid knowledge of cloud security principles and the ability to implement secure software solutions.
• Demonstrated experience supporting mission‑critical always‑on applications with high reliability and performance standards.
• Hands‑on expertise with AWS platforms and cloud‑native tools such as MSK, Tyk, Data Dog, EKS/Kubernetes, and Terraform, as well as deployment pipelines like Cloud Build, ArgoCD and Tekton.
• Proficiency in canary deployments and API‑related technologies including JSON, REST, Swagger, and Postman.
• Experience supporting critical applications in an “always on” environment.

• Bachelor's Degree

• Master's Degree
