In this position...

Ford is seeking a hands-on engineer to make enterprise data fast to connect, fast to retrieve, and fast to bring online. This role focuses on building the algorithms, architecture, and platform capabilities that connect data across domains, represent relationships effectively, and deliver data with predictable performance at scale.

You’ll work with diverse and evolving data sources, choosing representations and retrieval strategies that fit their structure and use. A key measure of success is reducing the time and effort required to connect a new source and make its data discoverable and usable—without creating fragile, one-off integrations. You’ll benchmark your choices against real workloads and make performance, connectivity, and onboarding speed explicit engineering priorities.
