Staff Fullstack Engineer - Simulation

General Motors is an automotive technology company focused on advancing safer, more equitable mobility. The Staff Fullstack Engineer will provide technical leadership for simulation platforms that validate complex AI-driven autonomous driving systems, including architecture, graphical tooling, Python infrastructure, APIs, and SDKs. The role also includes mentoring engineers and driving engineering excellence in API design, code quality, and testing.

Responsibilities:

• Define the architectural roadmap for our Simulation Scenario Definition platform and/or its programmatic Typescript/Python SDK
• Lead the design and implementation of our next-generation graphical editing tools used by hundreds of engineers to precisely define complex traffic, environment, and sensor scenarios
• Drive the evolution of our Python infrastructure, focusing on core algorithms for scenario serialization, validation, and integration with our large-scale cloud compute cluster
• Act as a hands-on mentor, setting the engineering excellence standard for API design, code quality, and testing practices across the team

Requirements:

• 7+ years of professional experience minimum in software development, with a significant portion focused on large-scale platforms, tooling, or SDK development
• Proven ability to lead technical architecture and drive complex, multi-quarter projects from concept to production
• Strong experience with front-end engineering for sophisticated graphical applications using TypeScript (e.g., using modern frameworks like React or Vue, and graphical/mapping libraries like WebGL/Three.js, or MapboxGL)
• Expert-level proficiency in Python, including deep knowledge of best practices, performance optimization, and building robust APIs/SDKs for external consumers
• A track record of mentoring and coaching mid-level and senior engineers, raising the technical bar, and driving code quality standards within a team
• 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)
• Solid foundation in 3D graphics, computational geometry, and/or real-time simulation concepts
• Direct experience developing or extending a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) or high-level scripting language
• Background in game engines (e.g., Unity, Unreal) or other professional simulation software
• Experience in data visualization techniques for large, complex datasets
• Familiarity with the architecture of Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology (e.g., perception, planning, controls) or other complex robotics/safety-critical systems
