To support this, we’re scaling our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) organization in Dublin, responsible for keeping the OnStar product line resilient, performant, and scalable for millions of customers.\nWe are seeking an experienced engineer with a strong background in SRE, cloud operations, and project ownership to help build and improve reliability practices across our customer-facing OnStar experiences and the services behind them.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing\nDesign and implement scalable, fault-tolerant, and observable infrastructure supporting OnStar mobile and web experiences, in-vehicle services, and the backend platforms and integrations that power them.\n\nDrive adoption of configuration management, infrastructure refactoring, and testing frameworks to strengthen system resilience.\n\nPartner across SRE, development, and product teams to improve service reliability, deployment safety, and incident response practices.\n\nProvide consultation and contribute to planning on reliability standards for new OnStar capabilities, customer-facing releases, and platform initiatives.\n\nHelp evolve and implement an observability approach using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog, with automated alerting and actionable SLO dashboards.\n\nSupport and improve on-call practices, manage blameless postmortems, and guide root cause analysis to eliminate recurring failures.\n\nMentor engineers and support a culture rooted in extreme ownership and operational excellence.\n\nSupport compliance and privacy-driven engineering initiatives across connected services, with potential crossover into areas like data retention and safety certification tooling.\n\nWhat You Bring\n6+ years in SRE, DevOps, or systems engineering, including experience mentoring engineers and leading project-level technical work.\n\nTrack record of building and maintaining high-scale, cloud-native systems (preferably AWS, GCP, or Azure).\n\nExpertise in container orchestration and deployment strategies using Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines.\n\nProficiency in Python, Go, or Java, with strong code review and readability standards.\n\nExperience leading cross-functional infrastructure projects, configuration strategy, or organizational tooling initiatives.\n\nAbility to think and act under pressure - whether debugging a live incident or balancing uptime vs cost trade-offs.\n\nFamiliarity with privacy engineering, data security, or experience supporting compliance frameworks is a plus.\n\nStrong communication skills - able to influence, mentor, and lead across diverse technical teams.\n\nWhy Join Us?\nThis is more than an engineering role - it’s an opportunity to help deliver reliable connected experiences customers depend on. At GM, you’ll join a team committed to cutting-edge technology, sustainability, and inclusive innovation. With meaningful projects, a collaborative culture, and a global mission, your impact will be tangible and far-reaching-improving reliability across OnStar mobile apps, web experiences, in-vehicle services, and the systems behind them.\nHybrid - This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to our Limerick office three times per week, at minimum [or other frequency dictated by the business].\nReady to lead reliability at scale? Join our SRE team in Dublin and help power trusted OnStar experiences for millions of customers.\n\nAbout GM\nOur vision is a world with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion and we embrace the responsibility to lead the change that will make our world better, safer and more equitable for all.\nWhy Join Us\nWe believe we all must make a choice every day - individually and collectively - to drive meaningful change through our words, our deeds and our culture.
