About The Position

Under limited guidance, work at the business unit level developing the end-to-end solution architecture for significant initiatives in partnership with key business and IT stakeholders. Under limited supervision, define processes, collaborate with other architects, and create project level architectures for suites of applications. You will be joining a highly collaborative group of architects and developers, owners of highly utilized and important applications within supply chain operations and across all of FedEx. We are in the midst of an exciting modernization project that is key to operational success. Our team is at the beginning of an exciting journey, finding new ways to integrate AI into our daily work lives. We are leveraging modern AI design and coding tools to accelerate and streamline architecture and development of intelligent, cloud-native systems that optimize how packages move. Our culture thrives on curiosity, continuous learning, and collective ownership. If you are looking for a supportive environment where you can use cutting-edge technology to solve complex real-world operational challenges, you'll fit right in.

Requirements

• Deep understanding of modern application architecture patterns (e.g., microservices, event-driven architecture, API design).
• Firm grasp of defining system boundaries with considerations for integration testing and security compliance.
• Willingness to occasionally be hands-on with code—this role goes beyond diagrams and planning.
• Strong, expert-level knowledge of Java development and its modern ecosystems.
• Hands-on experience designing and deploying applications in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with specific attention to optimizing compute costs and reducing unnecessary transactions.
• Comfortable using AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as part of your everyday workflow for learning, building, and documenting.
• Strong and flexible communicator who can seamlessly connect with business stakeholders, vendor teams, and developers to translate business needs into technical solutions. Collaborate and compromise with other stakeholders to bring solutions to the table and make meaningful impact now.
• General knowledge of hardware, software, and network architecture dependencies.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information Systems, business and/or equivalent formal training or work experience.
• Five (5) years equivalent work experience in information technology or engineering environment. A related advanced degree may offset the related experience requirement.
