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). This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}. ## Description The **AI Engineering and Productivity** team in the **Global Planning, Design, and Product IT** org is responsible for empowering Engineering and Quality teams by delivering reliable and secure AI-driven tools that streamline workflows, accelerate decision making, surface actionable insights, and unlock measurable productivity gains across the product lifecycle., As a **Senior Software Engineer** , you will be responsible for developing data intensive and AI-enabled software applications that support Product Development engineering teams. You will work with complex data requirements and deliver solutions using industry standard practices across SQL, Databricks, and modern programming languages such as Java and Python. You will design and build software and data solutions based on detailed requirements and system specifications, with a strong focus on data quality, performance, and reliability. This role offers the opportunity to advise, coach, and mentor other software engineers while shaping how engineering teams access and use data and AI. You will help define patterns and best practices for SQL, Databricks (DBX), and AI/ML integrations within VEQ and play a key role in ongoing modernization and cloud initiatives. What You'll Do + Design, develop, and maintain data driven and AI-enabled applications and services that support Product Development engineering teams. + Write high-quality, performant SQL (queries, functions, stored procedures) for complex data transformations and modeling across enterprise data platforms (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL). + Build and optimize data pipelines and workflows in Databricks (DBX) and related tools to support batch and near realtime data processing. + Develop backend services and APIs in Java and/or Python that integrate data, business rules, and user workflows into robust, reusable components. + Develop enterprise grade applications using Kubernetes/Docker, Quarkus, Java, Angular, PostgreSQL, and other GM approved tools. + Partner with data science and AI teams to productionize AI/ML and LLM based solutions, including feature pipelines, inference integrations, monitoring, and continuous improvement. + Proactively identify and remediate issues related to code quality, patterns, performance, security, and data correctness, using code quality analysis tools and remediation techniques. + Lead or contribute to solution design, including architecture, patterns, and technology choices aligned with GM standards and Statement of Technical Direction. + Apply and champion software engineering best practices, including code reviews, automated testing, branching strategies, CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions), observability, and secure coding practices. + Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product owners, data engineers, architects, business stakeholders) to refine requirements, define acceptance criteria, and deliver incremental value in an Agile/SCRUM environment. + Troubleshoot and resolve production issues across the full stack (data, application, infrastructure), driving root cause analysis, stable fixes, and clear documentation. + Navigate complex corporate processes to remove project roadblocks and keep delivery on track. + Provide guidance and mentoring to fellow software engineers and team members, helping grow skills in SQL, Databricks, cloud, and AI related technologies. + Document software and data solutions and ensure technical documentation meets GM standards and can be leveraged across VEQ and PD Business Systems. ## Related Videos - [The Future of Developer Experience with GenAI: Driving Engineering Excellence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1107-the-future-of-developer-experience-with-genai-driving-engineering-excellence) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Your next 10x engineer isn't in your city.
