About The Position

Software-defined vehicles mark a fundamental shift toward safer, smarter, and more sustainable transportation, with software serving as the core engine for data processing, security, and user experience. For businesses, these advanced software capabilities offer critical operational advantages, including higher efficiency, reduced costs, and improved safety and decision-making. Leveraging its global reach as a leading OEM, General Motors controls both in-vehicle and cloud software to deliver integrated solutions for fleet management, logistics, and energy optimization. To advance this initiative, GM is actively hiring in Silicon Valley and Austin, seeking mission-driven talent focused on customer-centric technology and sustainability to build next-generation commercial fleet platforms at scale. As an Engineering Manager, you will lead the team responsible for building, scaling, and maintaining GM’s Commercial eCommerce platform. You will drive the technical roadmap, translate business and functional requirements into robust systems, evaluate emerging technologies, and oversee end-to-end delivery—from scoping through production issue resolution—across critical monetization domains, including product catalog, billing, and payments. In this role, you will partner closely with cross-functional leaders in Product Management, Design, and Business to deliver foundational platform services that empower product teams across GM to launch and monetize their product rapidly.
