Senior Fullstack/Frontend Engineer

General Motors is on a mission to build advanced self-driving vehicles, and they are seeking a Senior Fullstack/Frontend Engineer to join their Mapping Engineering team. The role involves building web-based tools and interfaces that support the mapping systems essential for autonomous driving, collaborating with various teams to ensure high-quality user-centric tools.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and implement performant, scalable, and maintainable frontend systems for AV mapping applications across web and embedded platforms
• Design intuitive, data-rich user interfaces to visualize complex geospatial and mapping data, supporting workflows such as map editing, validation, and release
• Collaborate closely with backend, simulation, localization, and perception teams to define robust data contracts and ensure seamless integration across systems
• Lead the frontend development lifecycle for high-impact projects—defining milestones, aligning stakeholders, and mentoring engineers across functions
• Drive technical excellence in frontend engineering by conducting design reviews, enforcing UI/UX best practices, and setting standards for code quality, testing, and documentation
• Optimize rendering performance and responsiveness for large-scale map data and real-time updates
• Serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in frontend architecture, component design, and visualization frameworks within the Mapping organization and across AV domains
• Contribute to roadmap planning and hiring strategies to grow frontend expertise across the team

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience building and maintaining production-grade frontend applications
• Bachelors Degree in Computer Science or related field. Or relevant work experience
• Proven experience owning and shipping user-facing products, ideally in high-performance or data-intensive domains
• Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript, React (or similar frameworks), and state management libraries (e.g., Redux, Zustand)
• Deep understanding of frontend performance optimization, accessibility, and responsive design
• Experience working with geospatial data, map rendering libraries (e.g., Mapbox GL, Deck.gl, OpenLayers), or data visualization frameworks (e.g., D3.js)
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs, WebSockets, and GraphQL
• BS, MS in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related technical field, or equivalent industry experience
• Demonstrated success in leading frontend initiatives, mentoring engineers, and working with cross-functional stakeholders
• 7+ years of experience building and maintaining production-grade frontend applications
• Experience with AV mapping systems, HD map data pipelines, or automated cartographic error detection
• Knowledge of computer vision or machine learning workflows related to map labeling or perception
• Deep experience with Node.js internals and performance tuning
• Experience designing performant geospatial services, coordinate systems, and transforms
