We are seeking a skilled Sr. Software Engineer to drive the high-quality component delivery of the Ethos Design System (EDS).
The UI Developer for EDS is a craftsman of the modern web platform. You are not building simple web pages; you are building the “Lego blocks” that the rest of the enterprise builds upon. You will specialize in Lit (Web Components) to create agnostic, future-proof UI elements that function seamlessly in React, Angular, and Vue environments. Your code must be bulletproof, accessible, and performant, serving as the gold standard for thousands of developers across GE HealthCare.

GE Healthcare is a leading global medical technology and digital solutions innovator. Our mission is to improve lives in the moments that matter. Unlock your ambition, turn ideas into world-changing realities, and join an organization where every voice makes a difference, and every difference builds a healthier world.

Job Description

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.

Core Responsibilities

1. Component Engineering & API Design

• Web Component Development: Develop robust, encapsulated UI components using the Lit library. You will write clean, semantic HTML and scoped CSS (SASS).
• Component API Architecture: You are responsible for writing clean, intuitive Component APIs. You define the Inputs (Props), Outputs (Events), and Slots that allow thousands of other developers to consume your code easily.
• Cross-Framework Integration: You are responsible for the “Wrapper Layer.” You will test and optimize your components to ensure they integrate seamlessly into React, Angular, and Vue applications.

2. Design Fidelity & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Cross-Functional Team: Work daily within a cross-functional team comprising Architects, Product owners, LSD (Lead System Designers), DevOps, and QA. You ensure your components align with the broader architecture and CI/CD standards.
• Figma Proficiency: You will leverage Figma’s Dev Mode to inspect layers, extract properties, and ensure implementation matches the exact specifications of the design team.
• Accessibility Governance: You are a champion of inclusive design. You ensure every component complies with WCAG 2.1 AA standards, including keyboard navigation, screen reader support (ARIA), and color contrast.

3. Agile Execution & Documentation

• Agile Rigor: Participate actively in Agile ceremonies. You are responsible for managing your work items in Rally, ensuring accurate status updates and story point estimation.
• Testing Rigor: You are responsible for writing comprehensive Unit Test Cases (using tools like ViTest or Jest).
• Technical Documentation: You treat documentation as part of the code. You contribute to Storybook, writing clear usage examples and technical integration guides.

Core Competencies & Soft Skills

• Communicating Trade-offs & Alignment: Clearly explains technical options, trade-offs, and risks for the features and components they own. Collaborates closely with peer engineers, UX, and product to align on approach and get to a shared decision.
• Technical Ownership: Acts as the go-to owner for the design and implementation of the components/features they build within the UI and Design System platform. Takes full accountability for their work from design through delivery and maintenance and contributes actively to bro…
