About this role
Job description _ About the role _ Join our client and help power one of the industry’s most trusted vehicle data platforms. You’ll design and build high-scale, cloud-native systems that process millions of vehicle history and transaction requests daily , supporting major partners across dealerships, lenders, marketplaces, and enterprise platforms (e.g., Carvana, Cox Automotive, Cars.com, and others). This role blends modern distributed systems engineering with AI-assisted development and emerging agentic workflows , giving you the opportunity to shape both core platform architecture and the next generation of intelligent engineering practices . A day in the role _ Own the design and delivery of high-performance, low-latency APIs and microservices powering vehicle history (VHR), VIN intelligence, and transaction systems. Build and scale Java/Spring Boot services in a cloud-native AWS environment, handling high-throughput, real-time workloads. Architect and implement event-driven systems using Kafka/SQS to support asynchronous processing and data pipelines. Lead development of complex features, platform enhancements, and proof-of-concepts that drive business impact. Contribute to and influence system architecture, scalability, and reliability decisions across services. Implement and improve CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability (logging, tracing, performance tuning). Collaborate closely with product, data, and partner teams to deliver mission-critical integrations and APIs. Participate in full SDLC ownership: design → build → deploy → operate (“you build it, you own it”). Mentor engineers and contribute to a strong engineering culture through code reviews and technical leadership. AI-Assisted Engineering & Agentic Systems (Required) Leverage tools like GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code to accelerate development, testing, and documentation. Design and integrate AI-assisted workflows and agent-driven capabilities into engineering processes and/or production systems. Build or support intelligent features (e.g., automation, recommendations, data enrichment, or decisioning) using AI models and APIs. Develop tool-integrated agent workflows, including prompt design, multi-step orchestration, and API-based task execution (e.g., MCP or similar patterns). Evaluate and productionize AI-generated outputs, ensuring code quality, security, and compliance with enterprise standards. Optimize AI-powered solutions for latency, cost, reliability, and observability in production environments. Apply foundational knowledge of embeddings, fine-tuning, and dataset preparation to adapt AI capabilities to real-world business use cases. The expertised requested _ Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). 10+ years (or equivalent experience) building large-scale, distributed, high-volume transactional systems. Strong expertise in Java, Spring Boot, microservices architecture, and REST API design. Hands-on experience with AWS (compute, storage, containers, networking, security, monitoring). Experience building event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS, ActiveMQ, or similar). Strong experience with observability tools (e.g., Splunk, Dynatrace, Datadog) for debugging and performance optimization. Front-end experience with React, JavaScript, HTML/CSS (full-stack capability preferred). Experience with PostgreSQL/DB2 and database performance tuning. Solid understanding of Agile, SDLC, and modern engineering best practices. Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar). Desired or nice to have expertise _ Experience working with automotive data, VIN decoding, or vehicle lifecycle systems. Familiarity with high-availability systems (99.9%+ uptime) and strict latency SLAs. Experience integrating with enterprise partners or external APIs at scale. Exposure to AI/ML platforms or deploying AI-powered features in production. Our Core values are focus to inclusion and diversity, all qualified applicants will be considered for employment and will go thru a fair recruitment process regardless of their race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin or disability status.
