Job Description

The Role

The Staff Product Cybersecurity Engineer, Secure Product Engineering is a senior individual contributor within the Secure Product Engineering pillar of the broader Product Cybersecurity organization at General Motors. Through close, hands-on partnership with product engineering teams, this engineer helps ensure that software and systems are implemented securely as products move through the build phase of development. As a technical leader without direct reports, this role personally builds the tooling, patterns, and secure-engineering capabilities—and provides the technical guidance and workflows—that allow secure software and systems engineering to scale across GM's product portfolio, spanning embedded vehicle software, mobile experiences, and other key software & services. This is a deep-expertise, execution-focused role. Influence is earned through technical credibility, mentorship, and leading by example rather than through people management.
