Job summary

GE Vernova seeks a Staff Software Engineer to design scalable backend systems and AI/ML infrastructure for grid management. You’ll architect distributed services, lead AI agent frameworks, and deliver production-ready platforms interfacing with SCADA/PMU data streams.

This senior role emphasizes reliability, security, and on-prem deployment readiness. The candidate will collaborate with data scientists and power systems engineers to move AI solutions from prototype to production in

Qualifications

• 5+ years of backend or distributed systems experience.
• Proficient in Python and another backend language (Java, C++, or Go).
• Experience designing microservices, REST/gRPC APIs, and event-driven architectures.
• Hands-on AI/ML production systems experience (model serving, inference pipelines, or agent-based orchestration).
• Experience with AI/ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, concurrency, system performance, and security principles.

Responsibilities

• Design and build distributed backend systems using Python, Java, C++, or Go — creating scalable microservices, APIs, and event-driven architectures that integrate with SCADA, PMU data, and time-series databases.
• Architect AI agent frameworks that orchestrate ML models, rule engines, simulation engines, and enterprise grid services.
• Develop AI/ML production infrastructure, including model lifecycle management, inference services, agent coordination layers, and real-time feedback loops for AEMS, ADMS, and WAMS.
• Lead code quality and engineering excellence, including automated testing, CI/CD pipeline development, performance tuning, and observability.
• Collaborate with data scientists, power systems engineers, and DevOps teams to bring AI-driven solutions from prototype to production.
• Contribute to architecture decisions with focus on scalability, fault tolerance, cybersecurity, and on-prem deployments.
