The Role
Some engineers tolerate complexity; the Performance Engineer we want at Ford hunts it down and refactors it out of existence. Here, a mid-level Performance Engineer owns their work, partners with a tight team, and earns $105,000 - $145,000 while building their career.
Key Responsibilities
- Build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces with Kafka
- Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver remote projects
- Pull Ford's Java stack out of the CA region before the migration deadline
- Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Vallejo, CA production without dropping the baton
- Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
- Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
What You'll Bring
- Willingness to relocate to Vallejo, CA, or to make remote work
- Familiarity with Ford-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
- Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
- 5+ years navigating the politics that technology work attracts
- A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
- The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
- Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
