Job Description

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, at minimum [or other frequency dictated by the business if more than 3 days]. The Role Join a team of builders shaping enterprise-grade data products and platforms that power analytics, customer experiences, and operational insights at scale.

The role

You will design, build, and operate reliable batch and streaming data pipelines, partnering closely with product, platform, and governance teams to deliver high-quality, secure, and discoverable data. How you’ll work

  • Product mindset : outcome-driven, iterative delivery, and clear metrics.
  • Quality first : automated tests, reproducible pipelines, and continuous improvement.
  • Security and compliance by design : least-privilege access, data masking, and auditability.
  • Collaboration : partner across platforms, governance, and product teams; communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Tools you may use here

  • Languages : Python, SQL
  • Compute and pipelines : Apache Spark, orchestration / workflows (e.g., Databricks Workflows / Airflow), containerized jobs where needed
  • Storage / metadata : Parquet; lakehouse tables (e.g., Delta / Iceberg); catalog / lineage tools
  • DevOps : Git, CI / CD, secrets management, observability (logs / metrics / traces)
  • What You’ll Do

  • Architect and implement scalable ETL / ELT pipelines and services using modern data platforms and best practices.
  • Build streaming and micro-batch data flows, including schema evolution, late / out‑of‑order events handling, and exactly‑once delivery semantics where feasible.
  • Model data for analytics and ML using layered “bronze / silver / gold” patterns, with clear data contracts, SLAs, and lineage.
  • Embed observability (logging, metrics, tracing), data quality checks, and cost / performance optimization into everything you ship.
  • Automate testing and deployments with CI / CD
  • Collaborate with domain SMEs and data product owners to define requirements, acceptance criteria, and success metrics.
  • Operate what you build : participate in on‑call / incident response rotations and drive RCA and preventative engineering.
  • Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

  • BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years building data pipelines at scale with a modern data stack.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, plus performance tuning of both.
  • Hands-on experience with distributed compute (e.g., Apache Spark) and lakehouse / warehouse paradigms.
  • Data modeling for analytics (dimensional / medallion), data contracts, and schema management.
  • CI / CD (Git-based workflows) and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) in a cloud environment.
  • Practical knowledge of data security, privacy, and access control concepts.
  • What Can Give You a Competitive Advantage (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Streaming pipelines with technologies such as Kafka (or similar), including stateful processing and backpressure management.
  • Lakehouse technologies (e.g., Delta Lake / Iceberg / Hudi), file formats (Parquet / ORC), and table optimization (Z‑ordering, clustering).
  • Data governance and cataloging (e.g., Atlan / Unity Catalog / Collibra / Immuta) and automated lineage.
  • Data quality frameworks (e.g., Great Expectations) and SLAs / SLOs for data products.
  • Experience with Databricks or equivalent cloud data platforms and workload orchestration.
  • Domain experience with IoT / telematics, energy, or mobility data is a plus.
  • This job is not eligible for relocation benefits. Any relocation costs would be the responsibility of the selected candidate.

    Compensation :

  • The expected base compensation for this role is : $129,400 - $227,100. Actual base compensation within the identified range will vary based on factors relevant to the position.
  • Bonus Potential :  An incentive pay program offers payouts based on company performance, job level, and individual performance.
  • Benefits : GM offers a variety of health and wellbeing benefit programs. Benefit options include medical, dental, vision, Health Savings Account, Flexible Spending Accounts, retirement savings plan, sickness and accident benefits, life insurance, paid vacation & holidays, tuition assistance programs, employee assistance program, GM vehicle discounts and more.
  • 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., H-1B, OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, TN, J-1, etc.)
