Autonomic’s open, cloud-based platform — the Transportation Mobility Cloud — will connect the diverse components of urban mobility systems — connected vehicles, mass transit, pedestrians, city infrastructure and service providers — with the goal of orchestrating a safer, more efficient and sustainable transportation network.

Autonomic is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company.

About Our Solutions Engineering / Pro Serv Team

We are seeking a senior-level software engineer to join our solutions engineering team that improves access to and the quality of connected vehicle telemetry. Autonomic’s mission is to be the world’s leading cloud platform for connected vehicles. On an average day, we process approximately 10 billion signals (e.g., seat belt status), events (e.g., harsh braking), and commands (e.g., schedule over the air updates) from all connected vehicle types, including electric and autonomous vehicles.

As an organization, our goal is to build clean data sets and design APIs that are accessible to our customers in real-time. We maintain world-class taxonomies to organize the massive amount of vehicle data we receive. Our customers use our taxonomies and data to derive insights and make critical business decisions. The solutions engineering team is a key contributor to customer success and the long term growth of the company. Working directly with customers, we are key technical advisors and Autonomic API advocates. We seek to understand the problem our customer’s need to solve and determine the best resolution through a combination of: building upon the existing features in the product, specifying a new feature for delivery, or engaging alongside the customer to build what they need. We work to improve the developer experience, removing friction to enable our customers to bring their ideas to market quickly.

We think architecturally about how the TMC fits into a customer’s ecosystem. We are the early consumers of new features and provide valuable feedback to Autonomic’s product teams around quality, ease of use, and documentation. We work with our Customer Success team and customers to understand requirements, develop proof of concepts and service/device integrations. Our team also develops and maintains client software examples, libraries, and proof of concepts that are leveraged by our customers.

We maintain a culture of growth, openness to new ideas, practices, and community that includes publications, conferences, and meetup participation. We produce bottom-up innovation and maintain a can-do environment for developers and architects. We have the unprecedented opportunity to build the core systems in an automotive cloud with a passionate team making it happen. Join us and build something amazing.
