General Motors
Senior Full Stack Developer
This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the Technical/Innovation Center in Mountain View (CA) or Warren (MI) three times per week, at minimum. This position can be located at either of these 2 locations.
General Motors pioneers the innovations that move and connect people to what matters. We see a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion. As we move toward this vision, software plays an integral role as it becomes more prominent in our vehicles.
Our ambition in Software & Services Product Management is to build a world-class software development culture that is part of the company's shared vision. We are creating an elite portfolio of software-defined vehicles by tightly integrating software, hardware, and services to create complete and compelling vehicle experiences for our customers.
The Role
As a Senior Full Stack Developer for the Product Management - Experience Prototyping team, you will help define the next software experiences across mobile, infotainment and embedded platforms—both in and outside the vehicle.
Responsibilities include rapidly building functional prototypes that inform product roadmaps and requirements, enabling early validation of customer and business value. You will collaborate closely with product managers and designers to ensure that the experiences we prototype are aligned with user's needs and strategic goals.
In addition to your development responsibilities, you will collaborate as a technical consultant and domain partner with teams across GM, bringing a working knowledge of vehicle systems and the software/hardware technologies that support them. Your ability to connect technical innovation with product context will be key to delivering impactful prototypes.
This role requires a strong technical foundation across the full stack, the ability to navigate ambiguity, and a passion for innovation. Thriving in fast-paced environments, demonstrating technical leadership, and influencing cross-functional teams are all essential to success in this role. We expect you to be hands-on, proactive, and committed to shaping the future of mobility through thoughtful, user-centered software experiences.
What You'll Do
Design and deploy prototype solutions that serve as experiments to gather insights and data, enabling informed decision-making across the organization.
Provide best practice recommendations for software development across a wide range of technologies and platforms.
Continuously expand your knowledge in key areas, including:
Emerging technologies and development frameworks
GM's vehicle development cycles and timelines
In-vehicle and cloud-based architecture
GM's business model and how software enables and enhances it
Act as a technical consultant to Product, Design, and Engineering teams, providing guidance on future product experiences.
Embrace a breadth-over-depth approach: this is not a production engineering role. You'll work across a wide variety of topics and technologies, focusing on rapid prototyping rather than long-term implementation or customer deployment.
