Senior Software Engineer - Cloud Networks

Ford Motor Company • Madison, WI • 1h ago

This role is for a developer who thrives on building scalable software platforms using an API-First methodology . You'll use your deep programming knowledge in Go and React to design robust, reusable API contracts and build the intuitive interfaces that consume them. You'll work closely with our Cloud Network Engineering team to build the "control plane" software that powers Ford's global business, treating every network service as a programmable product.

At Ford Motor Company, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. With our incredible plans for the future of mobility, we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to accelerate your career and help us define tomorrow's transportation.

Champion an API-First approach: Define, document, and mock API contracts (using tools like OpenAPI/Swagger) before writing code to ensure consistency and excellent developer experience.

Architect and develop high-performance backend microservices using Go (Golang), ensuring APIs are versioned, secure, and scalable.

Design and build responsive web applications using ReactJS that consume your APIs to provide a seamless self-service experience.

Drive technical standards for API governance, database design, and system architecture, ensuring our platform is easy for other engineering teams to integrate with.

Translate complex network requirements into clean software specifications. You will collaborate with network engineers to abstract infrastructure complexity behind well-designed interfaces.

Participate in an on-call rotation to provide support for production environment outages and critical issues. On-call support is typically low-volume and focused on major incidents.

Qualifications:

7+ years of experience in software engineering or a related developer role.

At least 2 years of experience delivering software solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or other Public Cloud Provider.

Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) for backend development and ReactJS for frontend development.

Expertise in API-First development, including deep knowledge of REST standards, API lifecycle management, and specification tools (OpenAPI/Swagger).

Strong understanding of software design patterns, data structures, and algorithms.

A solid grasp of the software development lifecycle, including CI/CD integration, automated testing (contract testing), and code reviews.

Experience with development and support tools like Jira and ServiceNow.

A curious, self-starting mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, autonomous environment.

The collaborative skills to work effectively within a team and navigate complex technical decisions.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers.

Familiarity with API Gateways (e.g., Apigee, Kong) or Service Mesh concepts.

Familiarity with basic networking concepts (HTTP, DNS, TCP/IP) from a software perspective.

You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!

As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like: will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a changemaker, a technical expert, a culture builder...or all of the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including:

Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage

Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more

Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
