Job Description
Ford Motor Credit Company's Pinnacle Loan Originations platform underwrites and funds a significant share of the vehicles Ford sells worldwide. It is a mission-critical, multi-tier system: a mainframe core (COBOL, DB2, CICS) that executes the money-path decisioning, a Java/Spring services tier that orchestrates business workflows, GCP Cloud Run microservices at the digital edge, and Splunk-driven observability across the estate. We are building an AI enablement layer on top of this platform — a set of production capabilities that make Pinnacle faster to operate, easier to debug, and more discoverable to the engineers and analysts who depend on it.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
- 7+ years building and operating production-grade backend systems as a hands-on engineer.
- 5+ years in Python and Java (Kotlin, TypeScript a plus).
- Atleast 1 year of experience in shipping AI-enabled applications in production — agent frameworks, retrieval systems, or LLM-backed services.
- Demonstrated experience with agent orchestration frameworks — Google ADK, LangGraph, LangChain, or comparable.
- Practical experience implementing MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool integrations, agent communication patterns, and AI observability.
- Working experience with vector search and hybrid retrieval, and with knowledge graphs or GraphRAG.
- Strong backend fundamentals: Spring Boot, relational databases (PostgreSQL, DB2, or similar) including query and schema design, REST/OpenAPI, TDD, modern CI/CD.
- Production experience on Google Cloud Platform (Vertex AI, Cloud Run, BigQuery) or an equivalent cloud.
- Comfort operating in complex, multi-tier, legacy-integrated environments where change control and auditability matter.
Preferred Qualifications
- Semantic technologies, ontology engineering, or graph databases (Neo4j, Neptune, or similar).
- Experience integrating with mainframe systems (COBOL, DB2 for z/OS, CICS) or comparable long-lived transactional cores.
- Splunk SPL proficiency, including saved-search and dashboard authoring on large indexes.
- Event-driven architectures (Pub/Sub, Kafka); containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
