Software Engineer

Ford Credit is building the financial infrastructure behind Ford's electric future in Europe — and we're looking for a talented frontend engineer to help us do it.

You'll be a core contributor in a team building customer-facing products used by millions of people across Europe. That means writing excellent code, actively contributing to technical discussions, and playing a key role in how we deliver great software.

This is a hands-on engineering role where your technical craft is front and centre. You'll work closely alongside a Lead Engineer, taking real ownership of features and helping to shape how the team builds — while continuing to grow your own skills in a supportive environment.

• Building great frontend software: Writing clean, well-tested code that you and the team are proud of
• Contributing to technical decisions: Sharing your perspective in architecture discussions and helping evaluate the best approaches for the team
• Taking ownership of features: Driving work end-to-end from technical design through to production
• Writing and reviewing code: Participating actively in code reviews, giving useful feedback and learning from others
• Collaborating with Product: Working closely with product managers to understand requirements and provide clear technical input
• Supporting your teammates: Sharing knowledge, pairing with less experienced engineers, and contributing to a positive team culture
• Living agile: Engaging fully in ceremonies, contributing to continuous improvement, and keeping delivery moving

Essential

• 4+ years of frontend engineering experience with strong hands-on frontend skills
• Solid understanding of component design, state management, and building performant UIs
• Good grasp of testing practices, Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress or similar
• Comfortable working with CI/CD pipelines and modern frontend tooling
• Clear communicator who can articulate technical ideas to both engineers and non-technical teammates
• Curiosity, a growth mindset, and a genuine care for code quality

Nice to have

• Cloud experience, GCP preferred
• Familiarity with other technologies (Java / Spring Boot) to collaborate effectively across the stack
• Experience in regulated industries, fintech, banking, or similar
• Exposure to security and quality tooling, SonarQube, Checkmarx, FOSSA
