Work Arrangement:

This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Austin, TX or Warren, MI three times per week.

The Role

We are seeking a highly experienced Staff Software Engineer to provide technical leadership for GM’s Mobile Backend for Frontend (MBFF) platform and associated back-office integration architecture. This role is responsible for shaping the technical direction of the platform, driving engineering excellence across microservices and cloud-native systems, and leading the adoption of scalable DevOps and AI-enabled operational practices.

This engineer will serve as a senior technical leader across the MBFF domain, influencing architecture, reliability strategy, platform standards, and cross-team execution. The role requires deep expertise in Java-based microservices, Azure cloud platforms, observability, CI/CD, and modern software delivery, along with the ability to guide teams through complex technical decisions that improve speed, quality, and operational resilience.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the architecture, design, and evolution of the MBFF platform and core microservices that support GM mobile ownership experiences.

  • Define and drive technical strategy for scalable APIs, orchestration services, integration patterns, and platform capabilities across REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, and event-driven systems.

  • Establish engineering standards for service reliability, resiliency, observability, security, and operational readiness across the MBFF ecosystem, including clear SLOs, SLAs, and service health expectations.

  • Drive DevOps maturity by defining and improving CI/CD standards, release automation, progressive delivery, environment strategy, and production support practices across teams.

  • Champion AI-enabled engineering and operations by applying intelligent tooling for code generation support, anomaly detection, operational analysis, incident triage, capacity forecasting, and engineering productivity improvements.

  • Partner with product, architecture, security, SRE/operations, and dependent engineering organizations to align platform direction with business priorities and enterprise standards.

  • Guide complex design reviews, production readiness reviews, incident reviews, and modernization initiatives to improve reliability, delivery speed, and maintainability.

  • Mentor senior engineers and act as a force multiplier across the organization by raising technical quality, improving decision-making, and strengthening engineering execution.

  • Identify opportunities to reduce platform complexity, improve reuse, standardize patterns, and accelerate onboarding and delivery across MBFF services.

  • Ensure architecture, APIs, and platform workflows are well documented and supported by clear technical standards, playbooks, and governance.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, including significant expertise in Java and Spring Boot microservices.

  • Demonstrated experience leading architecture and technical direction for distributed systems or platform-level backend services.

  • Deep experience designing and operating scalable microservices, APIs, and cloud-native applications in production environments.

  • Strong hands-on experience with Azure cloud services, Kubernetes-based deployments, and modern DevOps practices.

  • Proven ability to define and improve CI/CD pipelines, release practices, observability strategy, and operational excellence standards.

  • Strong understanding of software quality practices including TDD, automated testing, code review discipline, and engineering governance.

  • Strong database experience with SQL technologies such as Oracle or PostgreSQL.

  • Excellent communication, technical leadership, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Experience leading platform modernization, reliability engineering, and operational maturity initiatives across multiple services or teams.

  • Expertise with Azure services such as AKS, API Management, Functions, Cosmos DB, SQL Database, Azure Monitor, and Application Insights.

  • Exposure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a plus.

  • Strong experience with observability platforms such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, OpenTelemetry, and distributed tracing solutions.

  • Experience applying AI-enabled practices in software engineering, platform operations, incident management, and developer productivity workflows.

  • Experience with GraphQL, WebSockets, service mesh, API gateway patterns, and event-driven architecture.

  • Strong understanding of security architecture including OAuth2, JWT, identity integration, secrets management, and secure service-to-service communication.

  • Familiarity with GM mobile platforms, enterprise back-office systems, or large-scale customer-facing backend ecosystems.

  • Experience driving technical mentoring, architectural alignment, and engineering standards across senior individual contributors and multiple delivery teams.

  • Strong strategic thinking, problem-solving, and execution leadership in Agile environments.
