Job Description

Key Responsibilities

1. Leadership & People Management in a Global Context

• Lead mentor and grow a geographically distributed team of software engineers (and potentially data/DevOps engineers) working across multiple time zones.
• Establish clear asynchronous ways of working (documentation decision logs recorded demos) to ensure alignment despite limited overlapping hours.
• Create an inclusive and collaborative team culture that values diverse perspectives cultural sensitivity and psychological safety.
• Set clear expectations provide regular performance feedback and drive career development tailored to regional contexts and opportunities.
• Collaborate with regional leaders and HR partners to recruit onboard and retain talent across multiple geographies.

2. Technical Ownership GridOS Data Fabric ( Storage ) Platform

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of Timebase and Anybase capabilities within GridOS including:
  • Time-series data storage and retrieval
  • Real-time streaming and event processing
  • Time alignment and synchronization across diverse data sources
  • Integrations with simulation forecasting optimization and market modules
• Partner with architects to evolve the Timebase and Anybase technical roadmap and reference architecture ensuring it meets global scalability reliability and compliance needs.
• Drive decisions on architecture performance resilience observability and cost optimization for a cloud-native platform used by customers worldwide.
• Ensure Timebase components adhere to GE Vernovas security data protection and compliance standards including regional regulatory requirements where applicable.

3. Delivery & Execution Across Time Zones

• Plan and prioritize the Timebase and Anybase engineering roadmap with product management balancing global customer needs and regional market requirements.
• Structure work so that teams in different time zones can progress autonomously using strong documentation well-defined interfaces and clear handoffs.
• Oversee software development code review testing (including automated and performance testing) and documentation to maintain high quality.
• Champion DevOps best practices (CI/CD infrastructure as code robust monitoring and alerting) to enable effective follow-the-sun support and operations.
• Ensure Timebase an Anybase services meet defined SLAs/SLOs for availability latency throughput and data integrity across regions.

4. Stakeholder & Customer Engagement

• Collaborate with product managers solution architects and other platform teams spread across regions to align on priorities and dependencies.
• Support global customer engagements proof-of-concepts and escalations by providing deep technical guidance on Timebase and Anybase capabilities and roadmap.
• Communicate progress risks and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders in different time zones using structured asynchronous communication (written updates dashboards etc.).
• Coordinate with customer support and operations teams to ensure seamless incident response post-incident analysis and continuous improvement.

5. Process Quality & Continuous Improvement

• Define and refine global engineering processes that support distributed work: sprint rituals backlog management design reviews and architectural decision records.
• Promote high levels of test automation observability and proactive performance monitoring across all regions.
• Lead blameless post-incident reviews and drive corrective and preventive actions that improve reliability and responsiveness.
• Ensure alignment with GE Vernova engineering standards cybersecurity practices and regulatory requirements relevant to critical infrastructure and grid software.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Electrical/Computer Engineering or related technical field (or equivalent experience).
• Professional software engineering experience in an engineering leadership or people management role.
• Proven experience leading teams distributed across multiple locations and time zones with demonstrated ability to maintain alignment quality and delivery velocity.
• Strong background in designing and operating large-scale distributed systems or data platforms including:
  • Time-series or event-driven data storage technologies
  • Real-time data streaming frameworks (e.g. Kafka Pulsar Kinesis)
  • High-availability mission-critical services in production environments
• Hands-on experience with at least one modern programming language (e.g. Java Go C# Python) and public cloud platforms (e.g. AWS Azure GCP).
• Strong grasp of software engineering best practices: system design clean code testing strategies CI/CD pipelines observability and incident management.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to drive clarity and decision-making in an asynchronous global environment.

Desired Characteristics

• Experience in the energy power systems grid operations or industrial IoT sectors.
• Familiarity with:
  • GridOS or similar grid orchestration / energy management platforms
  • Time synchronization concepts (NTP PTP) and temporal modeling
  • Real-time analytics digital twins or large-scale simulations
• Demonstrated success building and scaling inclusive high-performing teams across cultures and regions.
• Comfortable working with stakeholders across product architecture security and operations in a matrixed global organization.
• Strong architectural thinking and the ability to balance long-term platform strategy with near-term delivery needs.
• Passion for enabling the energy transition and building software that supports grid reliability resilience and decarbonization.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to lead a core globally distributed platform team at the heart of GridOS and GE Vernovas digital strategy.
• The chance to work on complex high-impact problems that shape the future of the electric grid and global energy transition.
• A diverse mission-driven environment with colleagues across regions and disciplines.
• Competitive compensation benefits and global career development opportunities.
