General Motors pioneers the innovations that move and connect people to what matters. We see a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. As we move toward this vision, software plays an integral role as it becomes more prominent in our vehicles. At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features. Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale. As a Senior Full Stack Developer for the Software and Services Experience Prototyping Team, you will define and deliver next-generation software experiences across web, mobile, and embedded platforms—both in and outside the vehicle. Responsibilities include rapidly building functional prototypes that inform product roadmaps and requirements, enabling early validation of customer and business value. You will collaborate closely with product managers and designers to ensure that the experiences we prototype are aligned with user needs and strategic goals. In addition to your development responsibilities, you will collaborate as a technical consultant and domain partner with teams across GM, bringing a working knowledge of vehicle systems and the software/hardware technologies that support them. Your ability to connect technical innovation with product context will be key to delivering impactful prototypes. This role requires a strong technical foundation across the full stack, the ability to navigate ambiguity, and a passion for innovation. You will also consult with product execution teams to ensure that the prototypes integrate seamlessly into GM’s broader ecosystem of technologies and services. Thriving in fast-paced environments, demonstrating technical leadership, and influencing cross-functional teams are all essential to success in this role. We expect you to be hands-on, proactive, and committed to shaping the future of mobility through thoughtful, user-centered software experiences.

  • Backend Development : Experienced with Java (Spring Boot) or Python (Flask), including API design, data modeling, and service orchestration.
  • In addition to technical proficiency, candidates must demonstrate:
  • Consulting Expertise : Ability to advise cross-functional teams on software architecture, development best practices, and integration strategies.
  • Domain Knowledge : Familiarity with GM vehicle development cycles, in-vehicle and cloud-based architecture, and how software supports GM’s business model.
  • Adaptability : Comfort working across a wide breadth of technologies and topics, with a focus on rapid prototyping rather than production deployment.
  • Driver's License: Testing in vehicles is a part of the role
  • Travel: Work might be demonstrated at other sites in Michigan and USA/Canada
  • This position requires the ability to legally operate a motor vehicle on a regular basis and successfully complete a Motor Vehicle Report review.
  • The position is subject to export control restrictions and requires the successful candidate to be either a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, asylee or refugee) or a non-U.S. Person who is eligible to obtain any required export control authorization.
