Job Description:

The GridOS Data Fabric Engineering Manager will lead a globally distributed engineering team responsible for the design, development, and operation of the storage subsystem within the GridOS platform. Timebase is the core temporal data and computation layer that powers real-time, near-real-time, and historical analytics for grid operations, planning, markets, and simulations. Anybase is the Operational Data Store. You will manage engineers located across multiple regions and time zones, building a high-performing, inclusive team culture that enables effective collaboration at scale. You will be accountable for delivering scalable, reliable, and secure time-series and event processing capabilities that enable utilities, system operators, and energy market participants to orchestrate an increasingly distributed and decarbonized grid.

Job Responsibility:

Lead, mentor, and grow a geographically distributed team of software engineers (and potentially data/DevOps engineers) working across multiple time zones
Establish clear, asynchronous ways of working (documentation, decision logs, recorded demos) to ensure alignment despite limited overlapping hours
Create an inclusive and collaborative team culture that values diverse perspectives, cultural sensitivity, and psychological safety
Set clear expectations, provide regular performance feedback, and drive career development tailored to regional contexts and opportunities
Collaborate with regional leaders and HR partners to recruit, onboard, and retain talent across multiple geographies
Own the end-to-end lifecycle of Timebase and Anybase capabilities within GridOS, including: Time-series data storage and retrieval
Real-time streaming and event processing
Time alignment and synchronization across diverse data sources
Integrations with simulation, forecasting, optimization, and market modules
Partner with architects to evolve the Timebase and Anybase technical roadmap and reference architecture, ensuring it meets global scalability, reliability, and compliance needs
Drive decisions on architecture, performance, resilience, observability, and cost optimization for a cloud-native platform used by customers worldwide
Ensure Timebase components adhere to GE Vernova’s security, data protection, and compliance standards, including regional regulatory requirements where applicable
Plan and prioritize the Timebase and Anybase engineering roadmap with product management, balancing global customer needs and regional market requirements
Structure work so that teams in different time zones can progress autonomously, using strong documentation, well-defined interfaces, and clear handoffs
Oversee software development, code review, testing (including automated and performance testing), and documentation to maintain high quality
Champion DevOps best practices (CI/CD, infrastructure as code, robust monitoring, and alerting) to enable effective “follow-the-sun” support and operations
Ensure Timebase an Anybase services meet defined SLAs/SLOs for availability, latency, throughput, and data integrity across regions
Collaborate with product managers, solution architects, and other platform teams spread across regions to align on priorities and dependencies
Support global customer engagements, proof-of-concepts, and escalations by providing deep technical guidance on Timebase and Anybase capabilities and roadmap
Communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders in different time zones using structured, asynchronous communication (written updates, dashboards, etc.)
Coordinate with customer support and operations teams to ensure seamless incident response, post-incident analysis, and continuous improvement
Define and refine global engineering processes that support distributed work: sprint rituals, backlog management, design reviews, and architectural decision records
Promote high levels of test automation, observability, and proactive performance monitoring across all regions
Lead blameless post-incident reviews and drive corrective and preventive actions that improve reliability and responsiveness
Ensure alignment with GE Vernova engineering standards, cybersecurity practices, and regulatory requirements relevant to critical infrastructure and grid software.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent experience)
Professional software engineering experience in an engineering leadership or people management role
Proven experience leading teams distributed across multiple locations and time zones, with demonstrated ability to maintain alignment, quality, and delivery velocity
Strong background in designing and operating large-scale distributed systems or data platforms, including: Time-series or event-driven data storage technologies
Real-time data streaming frameworks (e.g., Kafka, Pulsar, Kinesis)
High-availability, mission-critical services in production environments
Hands-on experience with at least one modern programming language (e.g., Java, Go, C#, Python) and public cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP)
Strong grasp of software engineering best practices: system design, clean code, testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and incident management
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to drive clarity and decision-making in an asynchronous, global environment.

Nice to have:

Experience in the energy, power systems, grid operations, or industrial IoT sectors
Familiarity with: GridOS or similar grid orchestration / energy management platforms
Time synchronization concepts (NTP, PTP) and temporal modeling
Real-time analytics, digital twins, or large-scale simulations
Demonstrated success building and scaling inclusive, high-performing teams across cultures and regions
Comfortable working with stakeholders across product, architecture, security, and operations in a matrixed global organization
Strong architectural thinking and the ability to balance long-term platform strategy with near-term delivery needs
Passion for enabling the energy transition and building software that supports grid reliability, resilience, and decarbonization.

What we offer:

Opportunity to lead a core, globally distributed platform team at the heart of GridOS and GE Vernova’s digital strategy
The chance to work on complex, high-impact problems that shape the future of the electric grid and global energy transition
A diverse, mission-driven environment with colleagues across regions and disciplines
Competitive compensation, benefits, and global career development opportunities.
