About The Position

The Senior Software Developer is a hands-on technical contributor responsible for designing, building, deploying, and maintaining high-quality software solutions across a variety of client and internal initiatives. This role requires deep expertise in at least one primary programming language and good familiarity with the related language ecosystem (frameworks, tooling, libraries), strong breadth across application architecture, DevOps practices, and cloud platforms, and solid familiarity with the adjacent layer of the software stack (backend or frontend) to enable effective end-to-end delivery. Senior Developers are expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, contribute to architectural and technical decisions, mentor less-Senior engineers, and actively improve delivery, reliability, and operational excellence across teams.

Requirements

Very strong expertise in at least one primary programming language, such as: Java, C#, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or equivalent
Demonstrated ability to design clean, maintainable, well tested codebases, including strong familiarity with automated testing (unit/integration) and ownership of component level test strategy for the systems they build and support.
Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including: Data structures and algorithms, API design and integration, Modular and layered architectures, Performance and scalability considerations
Moderate preference for full stack capability, with experience across: Backend services (APIs, services, integrations, data access), Front end frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or similar)
Alternatively, strong depth in either backend or frontend, combined with solid working knowledge of the adjacent layer to support end-to-end delivery.
Strong experience with modern DevOps practices, including: CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Automated testing and deployment, Observability, logging, and monitoring
Familiarity with tools and platforms such as: Git, CI/CD platforms (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.), Containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
A mindset focused on operability, reliability, and automation, not just code delivery.
Strong experience in at least one major cloud platform: AWS, Azure, or GCP
Experience designing, deploying, and operating applications in cloud environments, including: Networking, security, and identity concepts, Managed services (compute, storage, databases), Cost awareness and basic optimization considerations
Demonstrated experience using AI assisted development tools to improve productivity, quality, and learning (e.g., code generation, refactoring, testing, documentation).
Basic familiarity with AI enabled application patterns, such as: Integrating hosted AI services or APIs, Using AI for data processing, search, or automation use cases
Ability to evaluate AI tools pragmatically, understanding benefits, limitations, and responsible use within enterprise and client contexts.
Willingness to continuously upskill as AI tooling and platforms evolve
Owns complex and/or ambiguous features end to end, drives technical decisions within scope, and mentors others through that ambiguity.
Communicates clearly with both technical and non technical stakeholders.
Comfortable working across multiple projects or domains as GE NA demand shifts.
Balances delivery speed with code quality, stability, and long term maintainability.
Contributes positively to team culture and knowledge sharing.
Typically 7+ years of professional software development experience (or equivalent demonstrated capability).
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field preferred, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with additional clouds is a plus, but depth in one platform is preferred over shallow exposure to many
Relevant technical certifications (cloud, DevOps, etc.) are a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, test, and maintain production grade software systems aligned with business and technical requirements.
Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, including analysis, design, estimation, development, testing, deployment, and support.
Actively participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision making, providing clear rationale and trade off analysis.
Build and maintain reliable, secure, and performant applications in cloud based environments.
Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, DevOps, and other engineers to deliver complete solutions.
Mentor junior and mid level developers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, including automation, CI/CD, testing, and operational maturity.
