As a Software Engineer at Keyloop, you will be a productive and increasingly independent member of an engineering team building the connected auto retail ecosystem. You will deliver medium-sized features with growing autonomy, write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, and actively contribute to team culture and knowledge sharing. We are tech stack agnostic: we believe a strong engineer with solid fundamentals and AI-assisted tooling can thrive on any technology. This role is ideal for engineers who have moved beyond foundational learning and are ready to take ownership of meaningful deliverables within a collaborative, agile environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, test, and maintain software features across the Keyloop platform with increasing independence
- Write clean, well-structured, and thoroughly tested code that meets team coding standards and best practices
- Participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback and incorporating feedback from peers
- Collaborate with Product, Design, and QA to translate requirements into technical solutions
- Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and retrospectives within an Agile/Scrum framework
- Troubleshoot and resolve defects, contributing to the operational health of the team's systems
- Create and maintain technical documentation for features and components you own
- Onboard new team members and begin mentoring more junior engineers (IC1s, interns)
- Proactively identify and suggest improvements to code quality, tooling, and development processes
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, learning, and adapting to new technologies and codebases
Required Technical Skills & Qualifications:
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, design patterns, and object-oriented/functional programming principles
- Proficiency in at least one programming language, with the ability and willingness to learn new languages and frameworks as needed
- Experience writing unit tests, integration tests, and practicing test-driven or test-informed development
- Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD pipelines
- Understanding of core software architecture concepts: APIs, services, databases, and modern application design
- Comfortable working in Agile/Scrum development environments
- Proficiency in leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate coding, debugging, and learning new technologies
- A tech stack agnostic mindset: we value engineers who can adapt to any technology with strong fundamentals and AI-assisted tooling
- 2-4 years of professional software development experience
Nice to Have Technical Skills & Qualifications:
- Experience working across multiple programming languages or tech stacks
- Exposure to cloud platforms, containerization, or modern infrastructure concepts
- Experience with AI-driven development workflows, including prompt engineering for code generation and automated testing
- Experience in the automotive, DMS, or SaaS product domain
- Demonstrated ability to quickly ramp up on unfamiliar codebases or technologies using AI-assisted tools
What Success Looks Like:
- Within the first 3 months, you are shipping features independently and contributing clean, well-tested code with minimal rework
- Within 6 months, you are accurately estimating your own work, reliably delivering within sprint commitments, and onboarding new team members
- Within 12 months, you are a trusted contributor who proactively improves code quality and team processes, and you are beginning to mentor IC1 engineers
- You consistently demonstrate the ability to pick up new technologies and codebases quickly, leveraging AI-assisted tools to accelerate your learning curve
- Your peers and manager see you as a positive influence on team culture, someone who collaborates openly and gives constructive feedback
What Sets This Role Apart:
- Tech stack agnostic philosophy: you will not be boxed into a single language or framework. We invest in engineers who master fundamentals and adapt to any technology with AI-assisted tooling
- AI-first engineering culture: you will work within Keyloop's AI-Driven Development Program, using cutting-edge AI tools as a core part of your daily workflow, not as an afterthought
- A clear, transparent career framework with defined competency expectations and multi-track progression pathways (Technical, Leadership)
- Real product impact: you will contribute to the Fusion Automotive Retail Platform, connecting every phase of the vehicle lifecycle for dealers and consumers worldwide
- Continuous growth support through a Personal Development Plan (PDP), regular coaching, and access to the AI Champions enablement program
- A global, collaborative engineering community grounded in the values of Bold, Authentic, and United
