Define and drive the technical strategy and execution roadmap for Home Energy platforms (mobile apps, web portals, APIs, event streams, and data services) in support of GM Energy objectives.
Be a technology expert across software architecture, infrastructure, build and deployment pipelines, observability, and engineering processes for multiple teams.
Lead the delivery of exceptional, secure, and resilient software using multiple languages and technologies (e.g., modern web/mobile stacks, cloud-native services, event streaming, data platforms).
Ensure your teams meet or exceed reliability, performance, security, and compliance expectations for customer-facing and partner-facing energy products.
Build, lead, and retain multiple high-performing engineering teams (e.g., mobile, full-stack, data/integration) aligned to Energy Engagement business outcomes.
Mentor and develop technical talent—from new college hires to senior/staff engineers and first-line managers—creating clear growth paths and succession plans.
Own workforce planning and staffing decisions for your area, in partnership with HR, aligned to overall org plans and GM’s strategic priorities.
Foster a culture of ownership, psychological safety, accountability, and continuous learning that turns challenging, ambiguous ideas into robust production solutions.
Partner closely with product management, design, GM Energy business stakeholders, and other internal and external engineering organizations to align on priorities, scope, and value delivery.
Actively manage dependencies with upstream and downstream systems and resolve cross-team impediments quickly.
Establish and maintain engineering metrics and KPIs (e.g., delivery throughput, quality, reliability, adoption) that directly contribute to GM’s strategic and GM Energy program goals.
Champion agile practices (Scrum/Kanban, CI/CD, trunk-based development, automated testing, feature flags) and ensure consistent execution across teams.
Drive architectural decisions that balance speed, quality, and long-term maintainability, including use of Azure services, event streaming (Azure Event Hub, Kafka, Pulsar), caching (Redis), and data modeling best practices.
Ensure adherence to security, privacy, regulatory, and safety expectations across all Energy Engagement software solutions, working with platform, security, and compliance partners as needed.
Demonstrate managerial courage to challenge the status quo, simplify complex systems, and define creative solutions in a rapidly evolving energy and EV ecosystem.
Champion change management in the org, and leading teams through organizational, technology, and business transitions (e.g., new program launches, platform migrations, cost management initiatives).
