## Description

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., * Implement iOS features primarily in modern SwiftUI across seller and buyer marketplace experiences
 * 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

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 iOS engineers, and the sibling Android mobile team on a daily basis.
