Software Engineer

We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves, and build a better world-together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves?

Do you believe technology can make vehicle ownership more intuitive, reliable, and effortless? We do! Delivering exceptional customer experiences requires secure, scalable, and always-on digital platforms that connect vehicle owners with maintenance insights, service scheduling, dealership workflows, and proactive care capabilities. That's where the Vehicle Care Engineering team makes an impact.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to design, deploy, and scale the core services that support vehicle ownership experiences for millions of Ford and Lincoln customers globally. In this role, you will build the digital backbone that connects customer mobile applications, dealership service systems, and in-vehicle digital displays.

This role offers end-to-end ownership of the systems you build-from architectural design and collaborative whiteboarding through implementation, automated CI/CD deployment, performance optimization, and 24/7 cloud operations. You will work in an Agile environment alongside product managers, UX designers, and cross-functional engineering teams to deliver secure, resilient, and high-performing solutions that improve the customer vehicle care experience.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to build scalable, high-performance cloud services that power the vehicle ownership and care experience. In this role, you will take end-to-end ownership of resilient platforms on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)-leveraging Java and Spring Boot to deliver seamless, proactive service and maintenance solutions across Ford and Lincoln mobile apps, dealership tools, and digital vehicle surfaces.
