Senior Full Stack Developer, Product Management - Experience Prototyping
General Motors of Canada, Mountain View, California, us, 94039
Job Description
Hybrid:
This role is categorized as hybrid. The successful candidate is expected to report to the GM Innovation Center in Mountain View, MI or GM Global Technical Center in Warren, MI three times per week, at minimum.
Why Join Us? General Motors pioneers the innovations that move and connect people to what matters. We see a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. As we move toward this vision, software plays an integral role as it becomes more prominent in our vehicles. Through a human‑centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next‑generation safety and entertainment features. Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.
The Role As a Senior Full Stack Developer for the Software and Services Experience Prototyping Team, you will define and deliver next‑generation software experiences across web, mobile, and embedded platforms—both in and outside the vehicle.
Responsibilities include rapidly building functional prototypes that inform product roadmaps and requirements, enabling early validation of customer and business value. You will collaborate closely with product managers and designers to ensure that the experiences we prototype are aligned with user needs and strategic goals. In addition to your development responsibilities, you will collaborate as a
technical consultant and domain partner
with teams across GM, bringing a working knowledge of vehicle systems and the software/hardware technologies that support them. Your ability to connect technical innovation with product context will be key to delivering impactful prototypes.
This role requires a strong technical foundation across the full stack, the ability to navigate ambiguity, and a passion for innovation. You will also consult with product execution teams to ensure that the prototypes integrate seamlessly into GM’s broader ecosystem of technologies and services. Thriving in fast‑paced environments, demonstrating technical leadership, and influencing cross‑functional teams are all essential to success in this role. We expect you to be hands‑on, proactive, and committed to shaping the future of mobility through thoughtful, user‑centered software experiences.

GM's business model and how software enables and enhances it
Embrace a
breadth‑over‑depth
approach: this is not a production engineering role. You'll work across a wide variety of topics and technologies, focusing on rapid prototyping rather than long‑term implementation or customer deployment.
