• Minimum of 5–7 years of experience in software tools, platform, or infrastructure development, with a strong focus on DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and/or cloud-based applications
• Strong expertise in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins and GitHub Actions (or comparable technologies)
• Hands-on experience with major cloud platforms (such as Azure or AWS) and relevant services, including containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
• Proficiency in programming and scripting languages such as Python, Bash, and at least one of C, C++, or Java
• Solid understanding of embedded software development tools, build processes, and workflows
• Knowledge of test automation frameworks, tools, and practices for software validation in both virtual and hardware-in-the-loop environments
• Demonstrated experience designing, implementing, and maintaining CI/CD pipeline solutions for complex, multi-component systems
• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills across build, pipeline, and infrastructure layers
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities, with a track record of working effectively in cross-functional, Agile/DevOps environments
• Proven ability to lead or drive challenging technical projects with high levels of ambiguity to successful completion
• GM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role. Do not apply for this role if you will need GM immigration sponsorship now or in the future. This includes direct company sponsorship, entry of GM as the immigration employer of record on a government form, and any work authorization requiring a written submission or other immigration support from the company (e.g., H1-B, OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, TN, J-1, etc)
• Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
• Experience developing and maintaining large-scale cloud-native platforms supporting build, test, or simulation workloads
• Familiarity with GM in-house test automation tools and libraries, or similar automotive/embedded test frameworks
• Familiarity with software build systems and tools used for embedded development
• Knowledge of automotive communication protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet, SPI)
