In this position...

The Director, Cloud & AI Infrastructure Operations will be a senior technical leader responsible for the reliability, security, and cost-efficiency of Ford Credits cloud and container-based application landscape, with a growing focus on AI infrastructure and secure AI enablement. This individual will operate at the intersection of cloud engineering, platform operations, cybersecurity, and emerging AI technologies — partnering closely with application teams, enterprise architecture, cloud platform teams, security engineering, and external technology partners.

Ford Credits technology estate is increasingly hybrid — spanning Google Cloud Platform, containerized platforms (Kubernetes/OpenShift), traditional Ford data centers, and a rapidly growing footprint of AI-driven capabilities (LLMs, RAG pipelines, agentic automation). This Director will own the operational health, security posture, and cost efficiency of that hybrid estate, while also building Ford Credits capability to safely and effectively adopt AI infrastructure and AI-assisted engineering tools. The role is both a hands-on technical leadership position and a strategic partner to the VP, translating emerging cloud/AI capabilities into governed, production-ready, cost-conscious solutions.
