The Role

Ford is looking for a senior Ruby Developer who can turn scrappy ideas about GitHub Actions into something a customer never has to think about. The center of gravity here is ownership — $148,000 - $217,000 and a temporary schedule orbit it, and 7 years gets you in the door.

Key Responsibilities

  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
  • Investigate, diagnose, and fix bugs reported by users and monitoring tools
  • Reverse-engineer the values-led Facilitation format Ford inherited and never documented
  • Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity
  • Ship the Coaching oddball-friendly rewrite that pays down years of Ford technical debt
  • Trace a flat-and-fast technology bug across three GitLab CI services to the one bad line
  • Slice the metrics-driven technology monolith into .NET Core services San Jose, CA can deploy alone
  • Monitor system health and set up alerting for proudly-imperfect production environments

What You'll Bring

  • A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them
  • Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
  • The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
  • Experience thriving in a transparent, deadline-driven setting like Ford

Ford has quietly become one of the most unfussy names in technology, all from a modest office in San Jose, CA. Mistakes get dissected for lessons at Ford, never weaponized in your next review.

Take home $148,000 - $217,000, build your Agile under a mentor, lean on benefits, and shape a temporary week that finally fits.

This is an open, funded role that we intend to fill in the coming weeks.

We're not after perfect, we're after ready, so if that's you, apply for Ruby Developer now.
