About The Position

We are seeking a skilled Sr. Software Engineer to drive the high-quality component delivery of the Ethos Design System (EDS). The UI Developer for EDS is a craftsman of the modern web platform. You are not building simple web pages; you are building the "Lego blocks" that the rest of the enterprise builds upon. You will specialize in Lit (Web Components) to create agnostic, future-proof UI elements that function seamlessly in React, Angular, and Vue environments. Your code must be bulletproof, accessible, and performant, serving as the gold standard for thousands of developers across GE HealthCare.

About EDS EDS is the unified digital platform that powers GE HealthCare’s global software portfolio. It serves as a comprehensive library of reusable UI components, design patterns, and accessibility standards that bridge the critical gap between User Experience (UX) and Engineering. By fostering a philosophy of "reduce, reuse, and recycle," EDS enables hundreds of product teams to eliminate redundant coding and design work. We provide the foundational building blocks that ensure our clinical and operational applications are intuitive, consistent, and accessible, allowing teams to focus on patient safety. The Mission: Scale and Empowerment We are in a phase of hyper-growth, scaling from 15 adopting products to over 100. This requires a leader who thinks like a founder. You must look beyond simple backlog management to think about scale, growth, and empowerment. You will build a self-service ecosystem that allows teams to move fast without breaking the consistent standards required for patient safety and accessibility.
