Job Description
We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves, and build a better world—together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves? Do you believe technology can help technicians diagnose and repair vehicles more efficiently? We do! Delivering exceptional vehicle service experiences requires reliable, scalable, and secure digital platforms that provide technicians with the right data, files, and diagnostic capabilities when they need them. That’s where the Ford Diagnostic Service Platform (FDSP) makes an impact. FDSP is a collection of cloud-based Java microservices and data repositories that interfaces with client tools used by vehicle service technicians. The platform includes more than 30 microservices, 450 APIs, 14 PostgreSQL and MongoDB databases, and more than 80 TB of file storage. FDSP connects with internal and external systems to provide the information and files technicians need to diagnose and repair Ford vehicles. We are seeking a highly motivated Software Engineer to join the FDSP software delivery team. In this role, you will design, develop, enhance, deploy, and support cloud-native microservices that advance Ford’s vehicle diagnostics capabilities. You should have a strong technical background and demonstrate experience in Java, Spring Boot, REST services, Google Cloud Platform, DevOps, and Agile software delivery. Responsibilities include the end-to-end development and support of microservice-based application software, from feature design and backlog refinement through testing, deployment, production monitoring, and continuous improvement. Working closely with business partners, product teams, and cross-functional engineers, you will deliver high-quality, resilient, and scalable solutions that support business-critical vehicle service operations.
