Do you believe data is the engine driving the future of mobility? We do! Transforming how Ford manages, analyzes, and leverages financial data requires scalable data platforms, reliable cloud infrastructure, and high-quality analytical products that enable timely, data-driven decision-making. That’s where the Finance Data Hub makes an impact. We are modernizing how Ford manages financial data globally, delivering trusted and secure data products that support critical finance initiatives across the enterprise.

We are seeking a talented and driven Full Stack Data Engineer to join our product team.

• Code Quality & Security: Write clean, reliable code using Test-Driven Development (TDD) in an agile environment, actively addressing security vulnerabilities and code quality issues using tools like SonarQube, Checkmarx, Fossa, and Cycode.
• Optimization & Cost Management: Continuously optimize existing data solutions (pipelines, infrastructure, and products) to ensure high performance, security, reliability, low vulnerability, and cost efficiency.
• Production Support: Monitor production pipelines and provide timely production support to resolve issues in accordance with established SLAs.
• Continuous Improvement: Stay current on modern data engineering practices, contribute to the company's technical direction, and proactively build domain expertise in finance data.
