About The Position

As a Senior DevOps Developer in GM’s Virtualization and Software‑in‑the‑Loop (SIL) Integration group, you will build automation, pipelines, and cloud‑native systems that accelerate developer velocity and enable large‑scale virtual validation. We value the strengths you bring — your CI/CD background, embedded systems experience, and your ability to create automation that removes friction for developers. In this role, you’ll deepen your architectural skills while gaining hands‑on exposure to cloud orchestration, IaC, progressive delivery, and advanced simulation workflows.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 7+ years of relevant experience in DevOps, CI/CD, automation, or software development.
• Hands‑on CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, or Azure DevOps.
• Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
• Experience with containers and Kubernetes fundamentals.
• Familiarity with embedded or model‑based development (MATLAB/Simulink, code generation, vECUs).
• Understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Knowledge of deployment strategies and release automation.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with SIL/HIL pipelines and co‑simulation frameworks.
• Terraform or IaC expertise for multi‑environment provisioning.
• Knowledge of automotive data flows across vehicle, local, and cloud.
• Experience with progressive delivery (canary, blue‑green).
• Understanding of secure supply chain (SLSA, OPA, Sigstore).
• Familiarity with virtualization platforms used for vECUs and simulation.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for virtual ECUs, embedded software, and simulation artifacts.
• Automate build, test, and packaging workflows across C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, and model‑based toolchains.
• Operate containerized simulation environments using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Implement GitOps workflows for multi‑cluster consistency and reliability.
• Optimize developer velocity through caching, artifact reuse, and workflow simplification.
• Integrate observability into pipelines for traceability, metrics, and debugging.
• Collaborate with embedded, simulation, and controls teams to align delivery with model‑based development workflows.
• Support cloud‑based SIL execution for large‑scale parallel simulation.

Benefits

• Paid time off including vacation days, holidays, and supplemental benefits for pregnancy, parental and adoption leave
• Healthcare, dental, and vision benefits
• Life insurance plans to cover you and your family
• Company and matching contributions to a Defined Contribution Pension plan to help you save for retirement
