Senior Software Engineering - Device Data Capture

General Motors • Oshawa, ON

13d • CA$115,000 - CA$164,600 • Hybrid

About The Position

The DDC / RDM platform is the backend system of record for vehicle configuration, campaign delivery, and remote device management at scale — a set of Spring Boot services (with supporting data and eventing infrastructure) that manage device attributes, group targeting, config distribution, and OTA campaigns across a global, multi-region fleet. We're in the middle of a significant modernization push: retiring legacy API versions, hardening authorization across every service, and redesigning our service-to-service network architecture.

Requirements

• 5+ years building and operating production backend services, ideally in Java/Spring Boot (or comparable JVM/server-side stacks).
• Strong grasp of distributed systems fundamentals: API design and versioning, service-to-service authorization/security, event-driven architecture, and data plane scalability.
• Experience leading technical direction on a multi-service platform — not just writing code, but making and documenting architectural trade-offs.
• Comfort working with modern, agent-assisted engineering tooling (automated review bots, coding assistants, MCP-based integrations) as part of a normal development workflow.
• A track record of shipping tech-debt and security work under real feature-delivery pressure, not just in isolation.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with automotive, IoT, or other large-fleet device-management platforms.
• Familiarity with multi-region/OTA delivery systems.
• Prior experience standing up or governing agent-based/automated tooling across a multi-repo organization.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate backend services (Java/Spring Boot) that power device configuration, campaign management, and data-plane connectivity for millions of vehicles.
• Lead authorization and security hardening across our API surface, and drive the retirement of legacy (v1–v3) endpoints in favor of a consistent, versioned API strategy.
• Own architectural decisions for cross-service communication, event-driven workflows, and observability as the platform expands into new regions.
• Reduce structural tech debt in high-traffic services (dependency upgrades, framework migrations, network/security architecture) without slowing feature delivery.
• Help evolve our engineering workflows by integrating agentic, model-assisted developer tooling (e.g., automated code-review agents, coding assistants wired into our repos via MCP clients) into day-to-day backend development — improving review quality and cutting routine toil.
• Mentor other engineers on service ownership, backend design standards, and operational rigor.

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
• GM Vehicle Purchase Plan for you, your family and friends
