Job summary

GE HealthCare's Chief Data and Analytics Office is seeking a senior platform engineer to own and evolve the internal AI engineering platform, including shared libraries, interfaces, and automated verification tooling.

You will lead architecture decisions, build and maintain end-to-end AI applications when needed, and ensure security, reliability, and scalability as the platform enables multiple teams to ship production AI swiftly.

Job description

Job Description Summary

We are looking for a senior full-stack engineer who has shipped production applications, and who has owned software that other engineering teams depended on - a framework, SDK, shared library or internal developer platform - living with an abstraction decision long enough to have had to correct it while consumers depended on it. Establishing engineering standards through automation rather than documentation should be instinctive.

You will be the senior technical owner of GE HealthCare's internal AI engineering platform: the shared libraries, standardised interfaces, code generation tools and automated verification our data scientists and engineers use to take AI solutions into production. It exists to deliver four outcomes for the company:

• reduce time from working prototype to production from months to days;
• allow data scientists to ship production-grade AI without expertise in cloud infrastructure, deployment, application security or front-end development;
• make security, compliance and consistency automatically enforced properties of every solution, rather than outcomes dependent on scarce expert review;
• allow underlying technologies to be replaced - model provider, agent framework, user interface approach - without rewriting the solutions built on them.

Your accountability is the platform's architecture and public interfaces, the automated verification that enforces our engineering standards, and the versioning and migration approach that keeps it dependable as it evolves beneath a growing number of applications. The role also includes building AI applications end to end yourself - front end, back end and agents - where that is the fastest way to prove a platform capability or unblock a priority use case; the emphasis at this level sits firmly on the platform, with application work serving it rather than competing with it. This is a hands-on senior engineering role with substantial architectural responsibility and organisational influence - not a management position, and not a research position.

Job Description

GE HealthCare's Chief Data and Analytics Office is delivering a portfolio of strategic AI programmes across Commercial, Finance, Supply Chain, Quality, Manufacturing and Operational Excellence.

The problem this team addresses is structural. Most people creating AI solutions here are data scientists, and it would be neither reasonable nor efficient to require deep infrastructure, security and front-end expertise of them. Every solution must nonetheless reach production as a secure, reliable, observable, supportable enterprise system, and remain so through years of change. That is the central design constraint: the platform and its automated safeguards must substitute for a depth of software engineering review that is not available at the scale and pace we require.

The failures a strong platform engineer prevents - undetected interface drift, poorly chosen abstractions that become permanent, over-broad access permissions, configuration that cannot be reviewed or reversed - are silent, and present months later as an outage, an audit finding or a security incident rather than as a broken feature.

Core Responsibilities

Architecture and design

Define the platform's architecture and public interfaces: what is offered, what is guaranteed, what is private, and what a version number promises to dependent applications.

Design isolation boundaries so each significant third-party technology - agent framework, model provider, message queue, data source, UI rendering approach - is confined to a single replaceable component, with automated checks making that a verified property rather than a documented intention. Validate each in practice, for example by running the same agent unmodified on two frameworks (LangGraph and AWS Bedrock AgentCore, say) with equivalent evaluated behaviour.

Design the interfaces between roles and components as machine-readable specifications with automated verification, so no two teams need to read each other's code to work together reliably.

Hold the boundary between declarative configuration and executable code - configuration states what, code implements how - preventing the familiar progression by which a configuration format acquires conditional logic and becomes an undocumented programming language with no type checking, debugger or tooling.

Record architectural decisions formally (options rejected, trade-offs accepted, revisit conditions), and decline unnecessary abstraction in writing and with reasoning. A significant part of this role's value lies in shared capability deliberately not built.

Engineering delivery and long-term ownership

Lead the highest-leverage components hands-on: the agent execution layer, the secure data resolution layer, and the configuration-driven user interface system. This is a building role, not a supervisory one.

Build selected AI applications end to end - front end, back end and agents - where that is the fastest way
