Job Description

General Motors is transforming the automotive landscape through its next-generation Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) platform. At the core of this transformation is data — powering advanced safety, personalization, energy optimization, and seamless user experiences. To support this, we’re scaling our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) organization, responsible for keeping our data platform resilient, performant, and scalable across millions of connected vehicles.

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Engineering Manager with a deep background in SRE, cloud operations, and project ownership to help define, build, and evolve the backbone of our data-driven future. This role is expected to be approximately 80% engineering and 20% people leadership — leading a small team of 8 engineers while remaining highly technical and contributing directly to the reliability and operability of customer-facing systems.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead the design and implementation of scalable, fault-tolerant, and observable infrastructure supporting vehicle telemetry, data ingestion, and platform operations.
  • Remain deeply hands-on: contribute code, review designs and pull requests, and unblock delivery on critical reliability work.
  • Champion configuration management, infrastructure refactoring, and testing frameworks to strengthen system resilience.
  • Partner across SRE, development, and product teams to improve service reliability, deployment safety, and incident response practices.
  • Drive internal consultation and strategic planning on reliability standards for new product initiatives and customer-facing applications; communicate trade-offs with strong executive function.
  • Define and evolve observability strategy using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog, with automated alerting and actionable SLO dashboards.
  • Own and improve on-call practices, manage blameless postmortems, and guide root cause analysis to eliminate recurring failures.
  • Lead and develop a team of 8 engineers through coaching, feedback, and growth planning; cultivate a high-performance culture rooted in extreme ownership and operational excellence.
  • Support hiring and onboarding for the team; build psychological safety and leverage high EQ to navigate ambiguity and change.
  • Support compliance and privacy-driven engineering initiatives, with potential crossover into areas like data retention and safety certification tooling.

What You Bring

  • 8+ years in SRE, DevOps, or systems engineering, including experience leading teams through mentoring, technical direction, and people leadership.
  • Track record of building and maintaining high-scale, cloud-native systems (preferably AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Expertise in container orchestration and deployment strategies using Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, or Java, with strong code review and readability standards; comfortable staying hands-on in production code.
  • Experience leading cross-functional infrastructure projects and setting technical direction while balancing reliability, performance, and cost.
  • Ability to think and act under pressure — whether debugging a live incident or prioritizing work across competing stakeholder needs.
  • Familiarity with privacy engineering, data security, or experience supporting compliance frameworks is a plus.
  • Exceptional communication skills and executive presence — able to influence across levels, translate technical risk into business impact, and drive alignment.
  • Demonstrated people leadership with high EQ: coaching, feedback, conflict navigation, and creating an inclusive, accountable team environment.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
