Full Job Description

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:

Freddie Mac is seeking a Tech Lead to drive technical execution and engineering excellence for one or more agile delivery teams. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who partners closely with Development Leads, Product, Architecture, Platform/DevOps, and Security.

You will help teams deliver modern, secure, cloud-based solutions by setting clear technical direction, breaking down complex problems, and ensuring software is built to be resilient, observable, and maintainable in production.

Our Impact:

Own technical direction for a feature area/service set, aligning implementation to product goals and architectural standards
Lead design and architecture discussions for cloud-native services, integrations, and distributed systems; document decisions and trade-offs
Drive technical alignment across developers, QA, product owners, and platform partners within an agile team environment
Mentor engineers through execution (pairing, code reviews, design feedback) to improve consistency, maintainability, and delivery quality
Serve as an escalation point for complex technical issues and production defects; lead root-cause analysis and remediation follow-through
Translate requirements into technical plans (stories, tasks, acceptance criteria, and implementation approach) and help the team deliver iteratively
Break down ambiguous problems into actionable work, identify dependencies, and proactively manage technical risks
Promote predictable delivery by improving estimation inputs, reducing rework, and ensuring readiness for sprint execution

Your Impact:

Champion code quality and standards including secure coding practices, testing discipline, and performance considerations
Establish and reinforce testing strategies (unit, integration, end-to-end) and ensure automation is built into the SDLC
Improve reliability and operability by ensuring services include appropriate monitoring, logging, alerting, and runbooks
Continuously improve development practices through retrospectives, technical debt management, and refactoring plans
Partner with Platform/DevOps teams to improve CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, infrastructure-as-code, and developer tooling
Contribute to cloud architecture on AWS (or similar), ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and cost-aware
Support production readiness including release planning, change management inputs, and post-deployment validation.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, IT, related field or equivalent work experience; advanced studies/degree preferred
8+ years of software engineering experience delivering production-grade applications and services
Demonstrated experience acting as a technical lead within agile teams (leading design, guiding implementation, and mentoring peers)
Strong knowledge of modern architectures: microservices, event-driven systems, REST/GraphQL APIs, distributed systems fundamentals
Cloud experience, particularly AWS (e.g., ECS/EKS, Lambda, EC2, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, IAM, CloudWatch; CloudFormation/CDK/Terraform)
Strong SDLC skills: CI/CD, automated testing, code reviews, branching strategies, and release practices
Working knowledge of observability (metrics, logs, traces) and production support practices (incident triage, RCA)
Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Keys to Success in this Role:

Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
Experience modernizing legacy systems and/or supporting cloud migrations
Familiarity with security and compliance expectations in regulated environments (e.g., data protection, access controls, auditability)
Experience with multiple languages/frameworks and a “best tool for the job” mindset
