In this position...

You will act as the critical bridge between product vision and engineering execution, navigating ambiguity to deliver robust software while fostering a culture of continuous learning, technical health, and high performance. 

Although this is classified as a remote position, candidates who are in commuting distance to a Ford hub location may be required to be onsite four or more days per week.  We request remote candidates to have flexibility to work EST hours.

• 3+ years of experience driving agile software development processes and managing the full software development lifecycle (SDLC). 
• 3+ years of experience in system architecture, technical design, and balancing feature delivery with technical debt management. 
• 2+ years of  experience in modern cloud architectures (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), distributed systems, and microservices. 

Even better, you may have...

• Master's degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline. 

• Direct people management experience leading teams of software engineers. 

• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate highly technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders 
• Previous experience at an entry level software engineering manager position 
• A strong track record of recruiting, hiring, and building high-performing, inclusive engineering teams. 
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to translate highly technical concepts to non-technical business stakeholders. 
• Experience successfully managing cross-functional dependencies and collaborating with Product Management and Design to define product strategy.
