Communicates and demonstrates a shared sense of purpose. Learns from failure.

Personal Attributes:

Able to effectively direct and mentor others in critical thinking skills. Proactively engages with cross-functional teams to resolve issues and design solutions using critical thinking and analysis skills and best practices. Finds important patterns in seemingly unrelated information. Influences and energizes other toward the common vision and goal. Maintains excitement for a process and drives to new directions of meeting the goal even when odds and setbacks render one path impassable. Innovates and integrates new processes and/or technology to significantly add value to GE. Identifies how the cost of change weighs against the benefits and advises accordingly. Proactively learns new solutions and processes to address seemingly unanswerable problems.

Job Requirements

Master's Degree in Computer Science or "STEM" Majors (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) with minimum 18 years of experience. Must have experience building systems or components of AI system including semantic modeling, distributed data management software Have deep mastery of at least one of: C#, C/C++, Java, Kotlin, Rust, Scala, or other systems/primary enterprise language that is used in data systems

Desired Qualifications:

Experience in working in industrial environments is a strong plus. Working on data system across multiple operating systems/cloud environments is considered strong plus. Advanced degrees such as PhD specially in AI, distributed computing or data systems is strong plus.
