Software Engineer, Full Stack Developer

Overview

Job Description

Summary:

We are seeking a skilled Software Engineer to contribute to the development and adoption of the Ethos Design System (EDS). The Software Engineer for EDS is a specialized frontend builder focused on quality and precision. You will work within the core engineering team to build the "Lego blocks" of our design system. Specializing in Lit (Web Components), you will translate design specifications into clean, reusable code that functions seamlessly across React and Angular environments.

You are a detail-oriented developer who cares deeply about semantic HTML, pixel-perfect CSS, and writing code that is easy for other developers to use.

EDS is the unified digital platform that powers GE Health Care’s global software portfolio. It serves as a comprehensive library of reusable UI components, design patterns, and accessibility standards that bridge the critical gap between User Experience (UX) and Engineering. By fostering a philosophy of "reduce, reuse, and recycle," EDS enables hundreds of product teams to eliminate redundant coding and design work.

We provide the foundational building blocks that ensure our clinical and operational applications are intuitive, consistent, and accessible, allowing teams to focus on patient safety.

We are in a phase of hyper-growth, scaling from 15 adopting products to over 100. This requires a leader who thinks like a founder. You must look beyond simple backlog management to think about scale, growth, and empowerment. You will build a self-service ecosystem that allows teams to move fast without breaking the consistent standards required for patient safety and accessibility.
