Role Summary & Adaptability:
We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer with a specialized focus on modern UI Architecture (Micro-frontends, BFF, and Monorepo patterns). In this role, you will be the primary architect of the user experience for Ford's Order Fulfillment Platform, ensuring that the "System of Engagement" is modular, high-performing, and securely integrated with Ford's GCP backend.
You will lead the development of React-based MFEs and Node.js-based BFFs while contributing to core Java/Spring Boot microservices. This is a "DevOps-cum-Developer" role; you are responsible for the full lifecycle of your code, from UI design to Tekton pipeline automation and Ford Governance Scan remediation. As Ford's tech stack matures, you must be highly adaptable and ready to pilot new GCP services or frontend frameworks.
Key Responsibilities:

• UI & Frontend Orchestration (Primary Focus):
  • MFE Architecture: Design and develop independent, reusable Micro-frontends (MFE) using React that integrate seamlessly into the Ford dealer portal.
  • BFF Development: Build and optimize Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layers using NodeJS to aggregate data from multiple microservices, reducing frontend complexity and latency.
  • Monorepo Management: Lead the Monorepo strategy to ensure consistent styling, shared libraries, and streamlined build processes across multiple MFE teams.
  • Business Insights: Integrate Amplitude within the UI layer to track user journeys, identifying and resolving friction points in the order fulfillment flow
• Backend & API Development:
  • Java Microservices: Develop and maintain robust backend services using Java 21+ and Spring Boot, ensuring high availability for order processing and validation logic.
  • Event-Driven Integration: Leverage GCP Pub/Sub and Eventarc to handle asynchronous communication between the UI, BFF, and downstream manufacturing systems.
  • Security & Identity: Implement fine-grained authorization using Ford's APS (Authorization Policy Server) and Microsoft Entra ID to secure user interactions.
• DevSecOps & Cloud Operations:
  • Automated Pipelines: Own the Tekton CI/CD pipelines for your MFEs and services, ensuring rapid, automated deployments to GCP Cloud Run and CaaS/GKE.
  • Security Compliance: Proactively remediate vulnerabilities identified by Cycode (Source Code), 42Crunch (API), SonarQube (Code Quality), and FOSSA (Open Source).
  • Observability: Utilize Dynatrace and Cloud Monitoring to ensure the health and performance of the UI and BFF & backend layers in production.

Technical Requirements:

• UI & Frontend Stack (Mandatory):
  • React & NodeJS: Expert-level proficiency in React and NodeJS for building MFEs and BFFs.
  • Architecture Patterns: Deep understanding of Micro-frontend (MFE) patterns, BFF (Backend-for-Frontend), and managing Monorepos (e.g., Nx, Lerna, or Turbo).
  • Web Standards: Proficiency in CSS3, HTML5, and responsive design for complex enterprise web applications.
• Backend & Data Stack (Mandatory):
  • Java & Spring Boot: Strong experience with Java (21) and Spring Boot microservices.
  • API Management: Experience configuring Apigee proxies and traffic routing.
  • Databases: Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL (Cloud SQL) and MongoDB.
• DevSecOps & GCP (Mandatory):
  • CI/CD: Practical experience with Tekton Pipelines and GitHub Actions.
  • GCP Ecosystem: Hands-on experience with Cloud Run, Eventarc, and MemoryStore (Redis).
  • Security Tools: Proven ability to fix findings from Cycode, SonarQube, and 42Crunch.

Core Competencies:

• UI Visionary: Ability to transform complex business workflows (Order Fulfillment) into intuitive, modular UI components.
• Full-Stack Agility: Capability to switch from React/NodeJS frontend tasks to Java/Spring Boot backend tasks based on project needs.
• Technical Diplomacy: Ability to collaborate with Ford Infrastructure teams to ensure application networking (Cloud Armor, Load Balancers) supports the MFE

Preferred Qualifications:

• Previous experience in the Ford DevOps/Development ecosystem.
• Familiarity with Ford's APS (Authorization Policy Server) and Internal Network constraints.
• Certification in Google Cloud (Associate Cloud Engineer) or React/Node.js certifications.
• Experience with Terraform for application-level resource provisioning.
