## Description

We're looking for a skilled Platform Engineer to join our team at Ford Motor Credit Company. As a Platform Engineer, you will design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure and platform capabilities, including networking, compute, Kubernetes, CI/CD, secrets, certificates, and identity. You will also define and improve reliability using service-level indicators (SLIs), service-level objectives (SLOs), and error budgets. Additionally, you will implement observability (metrics, logs, traces) with actionable alerting focused on user impact and create self-service workflows and automation (infrastructure as code, GitOps, build/release pipelines) that reduce toil. You will improve security and compliance through least-privilege access, secure defaults, policy-as-code, and continuous hardening. You will participate in on-call rotation, incident response, and post-incident reviews; drive systemic fixes and runbook quality. You will partner with application teams to improve deployability, resilience, and cost efficiency (capacity planning, autoscaling, graceful degradation).

You will have a Bachelor's of Science Degree and 5 years of experience in software development. You will have experience operating production cloud platforms and services (e.g., GCP/AWS/Azure) with an SRE mindset. You will have strong fundamentals in Linux, networking, distributed systems, and debugging complex production issues. You will have proficiency with infrastructure as code and automation (e.g., Terraform, Helm/Kustomize, GitOps tooling). You will have experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and modern CI/CD. You will have programming and scripting ability (e.g., Go, Python, Java, TypeScript) to build tooling and automate workflows. You will have clear communication, effective incident leadership, and a customer-focused approach to platform work.

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

- 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

- A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day

- Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
