Senior Remote Wordpress Developer Jobs in Michigan

We made history and now we work to transform the future - for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

Product Development uses design thinking & user experience methods to deliver breakthrough products and services that delight our customers. We bring innovative, exciting, and sustainable ideas to life.We have opportunities around the world for you to contribute to advancements in autonomy, electrification, smart mobility technologies, and more!

You'll have...

• Bachelor's Degree

• 8 + Years extensive professional software engineering experience, including a track record of leading technically challenging projects to completion.
• Strong general-purpose programming skills and the ability to learn new languages, frameworks, and codebases quickly.
• Proven debugging and root-cause-analysis skills across unfamiliar code.
• Experience reviewing others' code and mentoring engineers.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to work directly with non-software domain experts (calibration/test engineers) and translate their needs into requirements.
• Comfort working independently and collaboratively in a distributed, remote team

Even better, you may have...

• Strongly preferred (experience in several of these)
• Python - analysis tooling, data processing, packaging/distribution.
• MATLAB - engineering toolboxes, GUIs, Compiler/MCR deployment.
• C#/.NET - Windows desktop applications (WinForms/WPF, DevExpress).
• Web development - JavaScript/TypeScript frontends and Java/Spring Boot (or similar) backends.
• Cloud & DevOps - GCP (Cloud Run, BigQuery), Terraform, containers, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Databases - SQL and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB).
• AI/LLM tooling - MCP servers or integrating AI assistants into developer and engineering workflows.
   

Nice to have
 

• Automotive powertrain, calibration, or emissions domain knowledge. This is a strong plus but not required - a motivated engineer will be trained on the domain.

What success looks like

• The team's toughest projects get unblocked and delivered.
• Code quality and consistency improve through steady, high-quality review.
• Users get faster, better responses to new requests and production issues.
• The section supervisor is freed to focus on management while technical leadership is in strong hands.

In this position...

• Our section builds and maintains the software that powertrain calibration and emissions engineers rely on every day. Our portfolio is broad and spans the full stack:
• Desktop applications - data upload/management tools, calibration utilities, and instrument-connected apps (C#/.NET, WinForms/DevExpress).
• Engineering analysis tools - MATLAB toolboxes and Python analytics for measurement data, emissions eKPIs, and calibration-parameter analysis.
• Web applications - calibration-tracking and dashboard apps (Java/Spring Boot backends, JavaScript/TypeScript frontends) deployed to the cloud (GCP/Cloud Run) via modern CI/CD pipelines.
• Data & integration services - REST/web services, upload and import pipelines, MongoDB/BigQuery data access, and MCP servers that expose our tooling and data to modern AI-assisted workflows.
• Cloud & DevOps - Terraform-based infrastructure, containerized deployments, pipeline migrations, and TLS/cert and security-compliance work.

• We support a large user base of calibration engineers, and our tools directly enable vehicle testing, emissions compliance, and calibration delivery.

What you'll do...

We are looking for an experienced software engineer to serve as a hands-on technical lead across this portfolio. Today, a single person (the section supervisor) fills both the management and senior-technical-lead roles. This position exists to take on the technical-lead half of that work.

You will not own a single project - you will move fluidly across many, providing senior engineering leverage wherever it is needed most. Concretely, you will:

• Tackle the hard problems. Jump onto the most difficult or highest-risk projects and help drive them to completion - architecture, tricky bugs, performance issues, and thorny integrations (e.g., cross-thread/UI races, native handle leaks, MATLAB Compiler/MCR deployment issues, cloud pipeline failures).
• Review pull requests. Provide thoughtful, timely code review across multiple languages and repos, raising the quality and consistency of the team's output.
• Work directly with users. Engage with calibration engineers on new feature requests, translate their needs into clear requirements, and shape practical solutions.
• Debug and root-cause. Investigate production issues across desktop, web, and data-pipeline systems, then fix them or guide the owning engineer to a fix.
• Mentor and unblock. Share knowledge, set technical direction, and help other engineers (onshore and offshore) grow and stay unblocked.
• Improve how we build. Contribute to shared infrastructure, CI/CD, package distribution, testing practices, and security/compliance hardening
