Data Engineer

Ford is hiring a Senior Data Engineer to work on large-scale, production data systems. This is not a basic data engineering role focused on writing isolated Python scripts or SQL queries.

The emphasis is on:

• Data architecture
• Streaming data
• Production-grade pipelines
• Handling scale and failure

• This role requires systems thinking, not just data manipulation.

What the Role Is Focused On

• Designing and building data pipelines that operate at scale

• Working with large, complex datasets in production
• Supporting streaming and near-real-time data flows
• Debugging and resolving production data issues
• Participating in data modeling and architecture decisions
• This is about how data moves through systems, not just querying it once it arrives.

Technology & Stack Context

• Python (core language)
• BigQuery (current data platform)
• Google Cloud Platform (current cloud), but:

• Cloud-agnostic mindset is acceptable o AWS or Azure experience can translate

You're looking for someone who:

• Has built production data pipelines

• Has worked with streaming data
• Understands data modeling
• Has dealt with failures at scale
• Thinks in terms of systems and architecture
• Can explain why a pipeline is designed a certain way
