Senior Software Engineering Manager

• 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.

• 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 Vernova’s security, data protection, and compliance standards, including regional regulatory requirements where applicable.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Bachelor’s 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.

• 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.

• Opportunity to lead a core, globally distributed platform team at the heart of GridOS and GE Vernova’s 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.
