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.

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.
