As a Senior AI/ML Engineer, you'll enhance developer productivity by leading CI solutions, mentoring engineers, and implementing scalable systems.
Description
This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the office in [Austin, Detroit, Warren, Milford, Mountain View or Sunnyvale] a minimum of 3 days per week. This position can be considered Remote if the successful candidate is in the Seattle, Washington area.
About Us
The AI Cloud and Developer Infrastructure organization is responsible for delivering and maintaining the tools and services engineers here at GM use every day to do their best work and drive our cars forward. Tools and services we work on enhancing the entire development process of engineers at GM - how/where code is checked out, modified, compiled, tested, merged, and eventually deployed. Our goal is to ensure our AV engineers and others here have world class tools and a seamless development experience so that they can focus on the problems that matter most in their domain.
The Role
We are looking for a Senior Engineer with an extensive engineering background, experience using a variety of developer tools and technologies, and who is passionate about developer productivity. As a leader on this team, we are looking for someone who cares deeply about the technical development of other engineers on the team and can effectively balance the needs and priorities of the business, our users, and the growth of our engineers.
The way this engineer will deliver impact may vary depending on the situation, but they will be expected to be able to identify how they can best have impact with minimal guidance.
The Team
The Continuous Integration (CI) Platform team owns our CI infrastructure along with the tools that improve the CI customer experience. We are part of the AI and Cloud Developer Productivity Organization and own the building blocks to produce high quality CI experiences and workflows. This includes services such as the Remote Build Execution (RBE) service which allows GM AI to reliably test at scale and the build artifact storage which is a FUSE based network file system used in conjunction with RBE. Our goal is to accelerate AV development by supporting developer workflows for building, testing, and releasing software.
