About EDS
EDS is the unified digital platform that powers GE HealthCare’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.
The Mission: Scale and Empowerment
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.
The Team Model & Mentorship You will orchestrate the delivery of a cross-functional organization by managing a mix of Full-Time Employees (FTEs) and Contractors. Your mandate is to drive the delivery strategy by ensuring Architecture, DevOps, Dev, QA, and Support operate as a unified force.
Mentorship is your primary deliverable. You are responsible for transforming individual contributors into technical leaders. You will define career paths, provide regular coaching, and create a culture where engineers are excited to grow.
Operational Unity: You break down silos between functions. You ensure that QA is not an afterthought, DevOps is integrated early, and Support is not isolated.
Roles & Responsibilities:
1. Strategic Leadership, People & Culture
Transparent & Authentic Leadership: You lead with authenticity. You are transparent about challenges, you own your decisions, and you build a culture of psychological safety where team members feel empowered to speak up.
High-Performance Culture: You foster a culture of excellence. You have extensive experience managing the full employee lifecycle, from career development and promotion to constructively addressing performance gaps. You handle sensitive personnel situations (including PIPs) with firmness, fairness, and empathy.
The \"Talent Magnet\": You are responsible for hiring, onboarding, and scaling the India team. You leverage your personal network and industry reputation to attract top-tier talent across Architecture, DevOps, and Engineering.
Culture of Service: Instill a \"Customer Service Mindset\" across the engineering org. You coach your team to treat internal product teams with the same responsiveness and care as external paying customers.
2. Regional Customer Success
Regional Advocacy: Act as the primary face of EDS for India-based product teams. You engage with local engineering directors to understand their roadmaps and ensure EDS is meeting their needs.
Escalation Management: You are the point of escalation for critical issues in the region. You use your interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence to de-escalate friction and find constructive solutions.
Confident Decision Making: You are a decisive leader who resolves issues locally. You minimize \"upward delegation\" by making confident calls on personnel and operational issues, only escalating when truly necessary.
3. Technical Oversight & Governance
Implementation Oversight: While the Architect defines the strategy, you ensure the fidelity of the implementation. You vet code and technical approaches to ensure they align with the global architecture strategy before delivery.
DevOps & Infrastructure: Oversee the DevOps function to ensure our CI/CD pipelines, automated testing infrastructure, and release processes are robust and scalable.
Quality & Compliance: You strictly enforce enterprise governance, accessibility (WCAG), and Quality Management System (QMS) standards. You guarantee that every release meets the rigorous safety standards required for healthcare software.
Educational Qualifications:
Bachelor's Degree or equivalent in Computer Science or “STEM” Majors (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)
Required Skills:
Experience: 15+ years of total software engineering experience.
Mandatory: 10+ years of experience in Engineering Management, leading cross-functional teams (Architecture, DevOps, Dev, QA).
Mandatory: Proven experience managing teams in a customer-facing capacity or internal platform role where customer service was a key KPI.
Critical Competencies:
Talent Network: Proven ability to attract and hire top talent in the Bangalore market. You have an established network of engineers and leaders.
Technical Collaboration: Ability to partner effectively with a cross-functional team to ensure local implementation matches global vision.
Conflict Resolution: High emotional intelligence (EQ) with a track record of resolving conflicts between cross-functional teams (e.g., Dev vs. QA) and stakeholders.
Technical Fluency: Strong expertise in React, TypeScript, and Web Components (Lit). Familiarity with DevOps (CI/CD) and automated testing frameworks.
Inclusion and Diversity:
GE Healthcare is an Equal Opportunity Employer where inclusion matters. Employment decisions are made without regard to race, colour, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, protected veteran status or other characteristics protected by law.
We expect all employees to live and breathe our behaviours: to act with humility and build trust; lead with transparency; deliver with focus, and drive ownership – always with unyielding integrity.
Our total rewards are designed to unlock your ambition by giving you the boost and flexibility you need to turn your ideas into world-changing realities. Our salary and benefits are everything you’d expect from an organization with global strength and scale, and you’ll be surrounded by career opportunities in a culture that fosters care, collaboration, and support.
