Job summary

GE Vernova is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to help build backend platforms and AI agent frameworks for next-generation grid management in Bellevue, WA. You will design scalable microservices and orchestration that integrate with SCADA, PMU data streams, and time-series databases.

You will lead AI/ML production infrastructure, model lifecycles, inference services, and agent coordination for AEMS, ADMS, and WAMS, while driving quality, CI/CD, performance, and security in production.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in backend or distributed systems development.
• Proficiency in Python and at least one additional backend language (Java, C++, or Go).
• Proven experience designing microservices, REST/gRPC APIs, and event-driven architectures.
• Hands-on experience building AI/ML production systems - including model serving, inference pipelines, or agent-based orchestration frameworks.
• Experience with AI/ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn.
• Experience with containerization (Docker), orchestration (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 operational grid systems including SCADA, PMU data streams, and time-series databases.
• Architect AI agent frameworks that orchestrate ML models, rule engines, simulation engines, and enterprise grid services - enabling intelligent automation and decision support in control room environments.
• 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 system observability.
• Collaborate across disciplines - data scientists, power systems engineers, and DevOps teams to bring AI-driven solutions from prototype to production in mission-critical environments.
• Contribute to architecture decisions with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance, cybersecurity, and on-premises deployments.
