At Freddie Mac, our mission of Making Home Possible is what motivates us, and it’s at the core of everything we do. Since our charter in 1970, we have made home possible for more than 90 million families across the country. Join an organization where your work contributes to a greater purpose.
## Position Overview:
Are you seeking a challenging environment to grow your career and work with modern technologies that drive enterprise innovation? The Freddie Mac Single Family Acquisitions PDM Platform Team is seeking a Full Stack Software Engineering Technical Lead, focusing on the design and delivery of a CI/CD platform.
## Our Impact:
Enable business innovation to deliver software faster and more efficiently via predictive methodology, automated impact assessments, automated testing, automated cloud infrastructure provisioning, and automated deployment
## Your Impact:
- Design and develop the PDM Portal UI and services
- Develop advanced cloud infrastructure patterns using Terraform, Helm Charts, and/or CloudFormation as required
- Ensure solution architecture aligns with business objectives, roadmaps, and strategic solutions, as well as to Freddie Mac’s architecture principles and standards.
- Define and compare solutions to determine the optimal solutions for business needs.
- Design reference application architectures (e.g., microservices, event‑driven, serverless) and create architecture decision records (ADRs) to document trade‑offs and standards for platform consumers
- Build tooling and services (CLIs, automation scripts, service scaffolds, and lightweight APIs) that simplify infrastructure consumption and bootstrap app teams
- Develop templates for cloud infrastructure that application teams can consume, reducing the depth of IaC expertise required for safe automation
- Define and champion design for platform components and reference apps to ensure consistency, resiliency, and testability
- Establish guardrails and golden paths for observability, secrets management, configuration, and deployment across multiple services
- Test designed components for production usage at scale (functional, performance, resiliency, and security testing)
- Ensure that delivered capabilities align with business objectives; measure adoption and developer experience outcomes
- Partner with internal collaborators and develop strong stakeholder relationships across architecture, security, networking, platform, and application teams
Qualifications:
- 8-10 years of hands-on experience in application solution architecture applied to enterprise systems.
- 8 + years of hand-on experience in languages and frameworks including Java, Angular, and Spring Boot
- Strong Python development skills or equivalent, including:
- Building CLIs, automation scripts, and service backends (e.g., FastAPI)
- Packaging and dependency management (pip/Poetry), virtual environments
- Testing frameworks (pytest), coverage, and mocking
- Working with AWS SDKs (boto3), file storage (S3) and data services (DynamoDB/RDS)
- 3+ years of backend service development, including RESTful API design and implementation
- Experience with CI/CD platforms and related technologies.
- Exposure working with AWS services like EC2, S3, EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, etc.
- Advanced knowledge of AWS cloud infrastructure design and resiliency patterns (multi‑AZ, auto‑scaling, service quotas, failure domains)
- Desire to automate, standardize, and scale consumption for end users; hands‑on with CI/CD (Jenkins), containerization (Docker), and Kubernetes operators/controllers
- Hands-on experience with multiple technologies like APIs, Microservices, Event Streaming, Logging & Monitoring, Databases (SQL, NOSQL), Containers, Serverless Frameworks, DevOps, etc.
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent experience required. Advanced studies/degree preferred
Keys to Success in this Role:
- Highly motivated and self-driven professional
- Strong hands-on technical skills with modern technologies
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Strong partnership and collaboration skills
- Strong leadership skills
