## Description

At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

We're looking for a Software Supervisor to drive technical strategy and hands-on delivery across both UI and backend/API layers of a large-scale, cloud-native vehicle telematics connected-services platform.

## Responsibilities

- Own end-to-end technical design and delivery for features spanning UI and backend services , from requirements discovery through production rollout.

- Act as technical lead on complex, multi-team initiatives , break down cross-cutting work into clear workstreams, sequence dependencies across teams, surface and resolve blockers proactively, and keep delivery on track against committed timelines without formal management authority.

- Serve as the primary technical point of contact for a project across its lifecycle , aligning multiple engineering teams, product owners, and architects around a single technical plan and keeping them in sync as the plan evolves.

- Identify delivery risk early (scope creep, unclear ownership, slipping dependencies) and drive mitigation , including making pragmatic tradeoff calls under time pressure.

- Partner with product managers, program managers, and other engineering teams to translate business/strategic goals into technical roadmaps; represent engineering in cross-team design reviews and planning.

- Investigate and resolve complex, ambiguous production issues across distributed microservices , tracing problems through code, configuration, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud logs/observability tools to find true root cause (not just symptoms).

- Champion a quality-first engineering culture: drive test automation strategy (unit, integration, BDD/acceptance), push for regression coverage on every fix, and mentor others on testing discipline.

- Evaluate and guide adoption of frameworks/library upgrades (e.g., major version migrations) across multiple services, anticipating and documenting subtle breaking-change risks before they hit production.

- Author clear technical documentation and discovery/assessment briefs that non-engineering stakeholders can use to make go/no-go decisions.

- Self-start into unfamiliar codebases/domains with minimal onboarding , read code, configs, pipelines, and docs to build context independently, then act.

## Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.

- 6+ years of professional software development experience, including backend development with Java and/or Kotlin and experience building services with Spring Boot.

- 3+ years of experience working with cloud platforms and infrastructure, including GCP, AWS, Azure, or equivalent cloud technologies.

- 2+ years of experience developing technical architecture, technical discovery, feasibility assessments, or technical assessment documentation used to support business or technical decision-making.

- 1+ year of experience serving as a technical lead or leading technical delivery across multi-team or cross-functional software projects.

- 1+ year of frontend development experience using React, TypeScript, or a comparable modern UI framework.

## Benefits

- Immediate medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage

- 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

- Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases

- Tuition assistance

- Established and active employee resource groups

- Paid time off for individual and team community service

- Generous vacation time, sick/personal time, and paid holidays, including between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day
