About The Position

We’re General Motors (GM), a company driving the future of mobility with advanced self-driving and electric vehicle technologies. The AV Pipelines & Lineage team at GM builds core infrastructure that supports the end-to-end AI lifecycle of ML pipelines—from local experimentation and large-scale training to evaluation, lineage tracking, and operational visibility. Our platforms span both backend systems and user-facing interfaces, enabling ML engineers and researchers to develop, understand, and evolve models efficiently across diverse environments. We enable reproducible, traceable, and efficient ML experimentation, significantly accelerating engineering velocity across GM’s AI and ML initiatives.
