Senior Software Engineer -Ford Pro Intelligence

We made history and now we work to transform the future – for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

The Ford Pro Intelligence (FPI) Telematics team is looking for strong Software Engineers to build web applications and services that will be useful, reliable, secure products for our customers. This team creates back-end services and APIs that are used to help customers understand, manage, and control their fleets of vehicles via web, mobile and API applications.


Ford Pro Intelligence provides telematics and fleet management services to our commercial and fleet customers. Ford Pro products and services serve as a foundational building block to Ford’s continued leadership and innovation in fleet/commercial vehicle market segments. Fleets are our future, representing a significant portion of vehicle sales and continual expected growth.

The Mission: Build the Digital Nervous System for the World’s Fleets

Every single day, millions of people rely on commercial vehicles to keep the world moving. From ambulances rushing to emergencies and utility trucks restoring power, to delivery vans bringing goods to our doorsteps—fleets are the backbone of our global economy.

At Ford Pro Intelligence (FPI), we aren’t just building vehicles; we are building the highly scalable, real-time software platform that powers them. As a Senior Backend Engineer on our Telematics team, you will design and build the secure, high-throughput APIs and cloud services that ingest, process, and transform billions of data points from connected vehicles into actionable, real-time insights for fleet operators worldwide.

If you want to see the direct impact of your code on the roads every single day, and help drive the transition to a connected, electrified future—come build what matters.
