We're Looking For:We're hiring AI-first Software Engineers (Android) 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 Android engineers, iOS, and backend teams. AI is an accelerator. Engineering ownership still matters.
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- Experience shipping production Android features in a team codebase
- Solid Kotlin and modern Android UI skills; willingness to work in a mid-migration codebase
- Comfort with CI, tests, and code review
- Growing end-to-end ownership of features with guidance from Senior engineers
AI-First Mindset- Actively uses AI development tools (code copilots, AI debuggers, test generators)
- Curious about applying AI to real customer and business problems
- Able to critically evaluate AI outputs instead of blindly accepting them
- Comfortable learning and adapting in a fast-changing tool landscape
Technical Experience- Kotlin; Jetpack Compose and/or XML Views
- Coroutines; basic DI (Hilt); ViewModels / StateFlow-style UI state
- REST networking; local persistence basics
- Familiarity with feature flags and mobile analytics
- Unit testing (e.g. MockK, Turbine) and willingness to grow UI/instrumentation testing
You Will:- Implement Android features across seller and buyer marketplace experiences
- Ship Compose UI with clear state/events; touch legacy XML only as needed with support
- Write unit tests and meet team CI bars (formatting, coverage)
- Use AI tools daily to accelerate coding, tests, and debugging-then verify before merge
- Collaborate with Product/design and learn shared platform concerns (flags, analytics, auth) under Senior guidance
- Pair with iOS 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
Who You Will Work With:Reporting to an Engineering Manager (Mobile), this role collaborates closely with Product Managers, designers, backend and platform engineers, QA, Senior Android engineers, and the sibling iOS mobile team on a daily basis.
