This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Markham or Oshawa office three times per week, at minimum.\nThe Role\nThe DDC / RDM platform is the backend system of record for vehicle configuration, campaign delivery, and remote device management at scale - a set of Spring Boot services (with supporting data and eventing infrastructure) that manage device attributes, group targeting, config distribution, and OTA campaigns across a global, multi-region fleet. We're in the middle of a significant modernization push: retiring legacy API versions, hardening authorization across every service, and redesigning our service-to-service network architecture.\nWhat You'll Do (Responsibilities)\nDesign, build, and operate backend services (Java/Spring Boot) that power device configuration, campaign management, and data-plane connectivity for millions of vehicles.\n\nLead authorization and security hardening across our API surface, and drive the retirement of legacy (v1-v3) endpoints in favor of a consistent, versioned API strategy.\n\nOwn architectural decisions for cross-service communication, event-driven workflows, and observability as the platform expands into new regions.\n\nReduce structural tech debt in high-traffic services (dependency upgrades, framework migrations, network/security architecture) without slowing feature delivery.\n\nHelp evolve our engineering workflows by integrating agentic, model-assisted developer tooling (e.g., automated code-review agents, coding assistants wired into our repos via MCP clients) into day-to-day backend development - improving review quality and cutting routine toil.\n\nMentor other engineers on service ownership, backend design standards, and operational rigor.\n\nYour Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)\n5+ years building and operating production backend services, ideally in Java/Spring Boot (or comparable JVM/server-side stacks).\n\nStrong grasp of distributed systems fundamentals: API design and versioning, service-to-service authorization/security, event-driven architecture, and data plane scalability.\n\nExperience leading technical direction on a multi-service platform - not just writing code, but making and documenting architectural trade-offs.\n\nComfort working with modern, agent-assisted engineering tooling (automated review bots, coding assistants, MCP-based integrations) as part of a normal development workflow.\n\nA track record of shipping tech-debt and security work under real feature-delivery pressure, not just in isolation.\n\nWhat Can Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):\nExperience with automotive, IoT, or other large-fleet device-management platforms.\n\nFamiliarity with multi-region/OTA delivery systems.\n\nPrior experience standing up or governing agent-based/automated tooling across a multi-repo organization.\n\nCompensation:\nThe salary range for this role is $115,000 to $164,600. The actual base salary a successful candidate will be offered within this range will vary based on factors relevant to the position.\nGM DOES NOT PROVIDE IMMIGRATION-RELATED SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE.
