We’re Looking For:
We’re hiring AI-first Software Engineers (iOS) to build, evolve, and scale OPENLANE’s digital marketplace mobile experiences.
These roles are for engineers who already treat AI as a first-class development tool, not a novelty. You’ll use AI to move faster, ship higher-quality software, and reduce operational and development toil, while still applying strong engineering judgment, ownership, and systems thinking.
You’ll work on customer-facing wholesale marketplace apps, partnering closely with Product, Senior iOS engineers, Android, and backend teams.
AI is an accelerator. Engineering ownership still matters.
Why OPENLANE:
Work on real-time, high-value marketplace systems at scale
Be part of a major platform modernization and AI transformation
Use AI as a first-class development tool—not an experiment
Collaborate with experienced engineers, product leaders, and platform teams
Grow in an environment that values learning, ownership, and impact
You Are:
AI-forward. You already use AI tools to enhance development speed, quality, and efficiency, and you continuously adapt as tooling evolves.
Product-minded. You think beyond code and understand how technical decisions impact customers and business outcomes.
Ownership-driven. You take responsibility for systems end-to-end, including reliability and operational health.
Technically curious. You enjoy learning new technologies and thoughtfully evaluating emerging approaches.
Quality-focused. You value clean, maintainable code, strong testing practices, and production-ready engineering standards.
You Bring:
Core Engineering Skills

Ship flag-gated work; write unit/UI tests; meet dual-OS PR gate expectations with support
Use AI tools daily to accelerate coding, tests, and debugging—then verify before merge
Collaborate with Product/design; learn shared platform concerns under Senior guidance
Pair with Android counterparts on shared product behavior
How You’ll Use AI in This Role:
AI-assisted coding and refactoring
AI-generated test coverage and validation
AI-supported debugging and root-cause analysis
AI-assisted documentation and knowledge sharing
Applying AI tools to reduce repetitive work and increase engineering leverage
