At GM, our Vehicle Configuration and Marketing team builds enterprise-grade platforms that power vehicle configuration, pricing, inventory, and sales systems-including the CarBravo marketplace. Our software delivers accurate, high-quality data and imagery to create seamless digital experiences across all GM brand sites. We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer with strong technical chops and architectural vision to lead the development of scalable, high-performance backend APIs and services. This role blends hands-on coding with cross-functional technical leadership across data pipelines, microservices, and distributed systems. You'll collaborate closely with product, QA, DevOps, and business teams to build innovative, cost-effective solutions that align with GM's broader platform strategy.

  • Lead the development of backend APIs and services that power customer-facing digital platforms
  • Write clean, well-tested, secure code-and guide others to do the same through code reviews and mentorship
  • Build and optimize synchronous and asynchronous integrations (REST, GraphQL, Kafka, messaging queues)
  • Mentor engineers on architectural design, modern development patterns, and industry best practices
  • Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies to improve system capabilities and developer efficiency
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align technical execution with business goals
  • Champion CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and system performance
  • Bachelor's or Master's in CS, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 8+ years of experience building enterprise-grade backend platforms and services
  • Deep expertise in Java, Spring Boot, and scalable microservice architectures
  • Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and technologies like Apache Kafka
  • Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker, K8s/AKS) and Microsoft Azure
  • Familiarity with PostgreSQL, Redis, and cloud-native storage solutions
  • Track record of mentoring engineers and leading technical direction at scale
  • Company vehicle evaluation program
  • Relocation benefits may be available
