You will combine strong networking expertise with production software engineering skills to enable reliable, high-performance movement of sensor and validation data between on-premises environments and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).\nThis is primarily a software development role, not a network operations role focused on scripting or manual device configuration. You will design, build, test, deploy, and operate production network services in Go and Python. You will apply software engineering, distributed systems, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices to reduce configuration drift and manual operations across the network supporting GM's Vehicle Autonomy mission.\nKey Responsibilities\nNetwork Software Systems\nDesign, build, test, deploy, and maintain production network services and automation using Go, Python, and modern software engineering practices. \nDevelop APIs, controllers, integrations, and tools that automate network provisioning, configuration, validation, and lifecycle management. \nApply distributed systems principles, API design, concurrency, automated testing, and safe rollout strategies to network infrastructure. \nAdvance Network as Code practices by ensuring network changes are version-controlled, peer-reviewed, tested, and deployed through CI/CD workflows. \nDefine, monitor, and improve Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for network services, including availability, latency, throughput, and change reliability. \nApply SRE principles to reduce operational toil, configuration drift, and recurring failure modes. \nBuild telemetry and observability capabilities that provide actionable insight into hybrid connectivity and network-service health. \nHybrid Network Architecture & Strategy\nContribute to the design and evolution of the network connecting on-premises data centers, validation environments, test facilities, and GCP.\n\nDesign secure, scalable, and multi-tenant network solutions that protect sensitive AV data while enabling high-performance access for developer tools, automated build systems, and compute workloads.\n\nDevelop reusable Infrastructure as Code modules and self-service capabilities for engineers and researchers.\n\nPartner with network, cloud, security, and platform teams to translate architectural requirements into reliable software and automated workflows.\n\nProvide technical leadership on complex projects and mentor other engineers while remaining a hands-on individual contributor.\n\nData Ingestion & On-Prem Connectivity\nOptimize end-to-end network paths from hardware ingestion points through secure hybrid connectivity and into cloud storage and compute environments.\n\nSupport the low-latency, high-throughput, and highly available connectivity required by validation environments and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations.\n\nCollaborate with hardware systems, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering teams to integrate validation worker pools with cloud-native infrastructure and services.\n\nBuild automation and operational safeguards that make high-volume data movement reliable, observable, and recoverable.\n\nSecurity, Performance & Reliability\nImplement secure network-service patterns, including least-privilege access, segmentation, encryption in transit, and automated policy enforcement.\n\nUse performance testing, telemetry, and capacity planning to maintain the throughput and reliability required by AV development workloads.\n\nParticipate in an on-call rotation and incident response for network services and hybrid connectivity.\n\nDiagnose complex failures using logs, metrics, traces, packet captures, and network telemetry across application, host, network, and cloud layers.\n\nLead or contribute to blameless incident reviews and implement corrective actions that prevent recurrence.\n\nManage error budgets and balance delivery velocity with service reliability.\n\nTechnical Domain Knowledge\nStrong software development experience building and operating production services in Go, Python, or comparable modern programming languages.\n\nExperience with distributed systems, software design, APIs, concurrency, automated testing, code review, CI/CD, debugging, and production operations.\n\nStrong Linux systems knowledge and an understanding of how applications interact with host and network resources.\n\nStrong networking fundamentals, including routing, switching, TCP/IP, DNS, data center networking, and BGP.\n\nHands-on experience with GCP networking, such as VPCs, Shared VPCs, routing, firewall policies, load balancing, and hybrid connectivity.\n\nExperience with infrastructure automation and configuration management using tools such as Terraform or Ansible.\n\nExperience with cloud-native platforms such as Kubernetes and with continuous or GitOps-based delivery workflows.\n\nFamiliarity with observability and telemetry technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, Telegraf, or centralized logging platforms.\n\nQualifications\nProven experience building and operating production network software and automation.\n\nStrong networking, software engineering, Linux, and cloud infrastructure skills.\n\nExperience with on-call support and incident response.\n\nAbility to lead projects and mentor engineers as a senior individual contributor.\n\nBachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience, preferred.\n\n6+ years of relevant software, networking, or SRE experience preferred.\n\nProfessional networking or cloud certification preferred.\n\nExperience with large-scale networks, SRE practices, high-throughput data systems, EVPN, or VXLAN is a plus.\n\nCompensation: The compensation information is a good faith estimate only. It is based on what a successful applicant might be paid in accordance with applicable state laws. The compensation may not be representative for positions located outside of New York, Colorado, California, or Washington.\nThe salary range for this role: is $172,000 to $300,000. The actual base salary a successful candidate will be offered within this range will vary based on factors relevant to the position.\n\nBonus Potential: An incentive pay program offers payouts based on company performance, job level, and individual performance.\n\nBenefits: 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.\nRelocation: This job may be eligible for relocation benefits.\nRemote/Hybrid: This role is based in Sunnyvale, CA or Austin, TX if you live within a 50-mile radius of an office location you are expected to report to that location three times a week, at minimum.\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.
