Ford Manufacturing

Senior Software Engineer

Chennai, India Hybrid Full-time

A platform software Engineer is a versatile developer with expertise in Java or Python and a strong foundation in cloud platforms to build and manage applications at scale. Generally, platform engineers fall into two categories: backend engineers, who design and implement microservices with robust APIs, and full-stack engineers, who deliver native UI/UX solutions, and ability to develop frameworks and service to enable an enterprise data platform. With a solid understanding of the SDLC and hands-on experience in Git and CI/CD, platform engineers can independently design, code, test, and release features to production efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and Build Data Pipelines: Architect, develop, and maintain scalable data pipelines and microservices that support real-time and batch processing on GCP.
  • Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservices: Design and implement SOA and microservices-based architectures to ensure modular, flexible, and maintainable data solutions.
  • Full-Stack Integration: Leverage your full-stack expertise to contribute to the seamless integration of front-end and back-end components, ensuring robust data access and UI-driven data exploration.
  • Data Ingestion and Integration: Lead the ingestion and integration of data from various sources into the data platform, ensuring data is standardized and optimized for analytics.
  • GCP Data Solutions: Utilize GCP services (BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions, etc.) to build and manage data platforms that meet business needs.
  • Data Governance and Security: Implement and manage data governance, access controls, and security best practices while leveraging GCP’s native row- and column-level security features.
  • Performance Optimization: Continuously monitor and improve the performance, scalability, and efficiency of data pipelines and storage solutions.
  • Collaboration and Best Practices: Work closely with data architects, software engineers, and cross-functional teams to define best practices, design patterns, and frameworks for cloud data engineering.
  • Automation and Reliability: Automate data platform processes to enhance reliability, reduce manual intervention, and improve operational efficiency.
