Description
We're looking for a skilled Platform Engineer to join our team at Ford Motor Credit Company. As a Platform Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and building high-quality APIs and internal developer tools that make a measurable impact on how hundreds of engineers work every day.
Our team focuses on building the shared services, APIs, and developer tooling that enable engineering teams across the organization to deliver value safely and quickly. We're looking for someone with strong software engineering experience delivering production services/APIs, proficiency in at least one backend language, and experience with API design and lifecycle management.
As a Platform Engineer, you will:
- Design and build internal and customer-facing APIs and services that are secure, reliable, and well-documented.
- Create developer tools and platform services that improve developer experience (DX): templates, CLIs, libraries, service scaffolding, automation.
- Apply engineering best practices: test-driven development, code review, CI, and safe deployment patterns.
- Engineer for operability: structured logging, metrics/tracing, health endpoints, and actionable alerts.
- Collaborate with platform and product teams to standardize patterns (authn/authz, secrets, configuration, resilience, versioning).
- Participate in incident response and reliability improvements; help teams reduce defects and operational risk.
If you're passionate about building scalable and reliable systems, and have a strong background in software engineering, we'd love to hear from you.
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
