Job Description Summary

We are seeking a skilled Sr. Software Engineer to drive the high-quality component delivery of the Ethos Design System (EDS).

Your code must be bulletproof, accessible, and performant, serving as the gold standard for thousands of developers across GE HealthCare.

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.
