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.\nCompetency Expectations\nAligned with the Keyloop Engineering Career Framework, this role is assessed across five core competency domains:\n\nCompetency Domain\n\nWhat We Expect\n\nTechnical Mastery & Innovation\n\nDemonstrates proficiency in the team's tech stack. Writes clean, maintainable, well-tested code with minimal guidance. Follows established patterns and contributes to code quality.\n\nExecution & Delivery\n\nIndependently owns the delivery of medium-sized features. Accurately estimates tasks and provides reliable status updates. Manages own workload effectively within sprints.\n\nLeadership & Influence\n\nIs a positive influence on team culture. Onboards new team members. Begins to mentor interns or IC1 engineers, helping them ramp up and grow.\n\nCommunication & Collaboration\n\nClearly articulates technical concepts to peers. Writes clear and concise documentation. Participates actively in team discussions, code reviews, and design sessions.\n\nProduct & Business Impact\n\nUnderstands the \"why\" behind their work, including the customer problem and business outcome. Connects technical decisions to user value and product goals.\n\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign, develop, test, and maintain software features across the Keyloop platform with increasing independence\nWrite clean, well-structured, and thoroughly tested code that meets team coding standards and best practices\nParticipate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback and incorporating feedback from peers\nCollaborate with Product, Design, and QA to translate requirements into technical solutions\nContribute to sprint planning, estimation, and retrospectives within an Agile/Scrum framework\nTroubleshoot and resolve defects, contributing to the operational health of the team's systems\nCreate and maintain technical documentation for features and components you own\nOnboard new team members and begin mentoring more junior engineers (IC1s, interns)\nProactively identify and suggest improvements to code quality, tooling, and development processes\nLeverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, learning, and adapting to new technologies and codebases\nTechnical Skills & Qualifications\nRequired:\nStrong software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, design patterns, and object-oriented/functional programming principles\nProficiency in at least one programming language, with the ability and willingness to learn new languages and frameworks as needed\nExperience writing unit tests, integration tests, and practicing test-driven or test-informed development\nFamiliarity with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD pipelines\nUnderstanding of core software architecture concepts: APIs, services, databases, and modern application design\nComfortable working in Agile/Scrum development environments\nProficiency in leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate coding, debugging, and learning new technologies\nA tech stack agnostic mindset: we value engineers who can adapt to any technology with strong fundamentals and AI-assisted tooling\nQualifications:\n4-6 years of professional software development experience\nNice to Have:\nExperience working across multiple programming languages or tech stacks\nExposure to cloud platforms, containerization, or modern infrastructure concepts\nExperience with AI-driven development workflows, including prompt engineering for code generation and automated testing\nExperience in the automotive, DMS, or SaaS product domain\nDemonstrated ability to quickly ramp up on unfamiliar codebases or technologies using AI-assisted tools\nSoft Skills & Behaviours\nClear and effective written and verbal communication skills in English\nA collaborative mindset with a positive attitude toward team culture and knowledge sharing\nWillingness to give and receive constructive feedback openly\nCuriosity and a strong desire to learn and grow technically\nAbility to manage own workload, estimate tasks accurately, and deliver reliably\nAn understanding of the user/customer perspective when making technical decisions\nWhat Success Looks Like\nWithin the first 3 months, you are shipping features independently and contributing clean, well-tested code with minimal rework\nWithin 6 months, you are accurately estimating your own work, reliably delivering within sprint commitments, and onboarding new team members\nWithin 12 months, you are a trusted contributor who proactively improves code quality and team processes, and you are beginning to mentor IC1 engineers\nYou consistently demonstrate the ability to pick up new technologies and codebases quickly, leveraging AI-assisted tools to accelerate your learning curve\nYour peers and manager see you as a positive influence on team culture, someone who collaborates openly and gives constructive feedback\nWhat Sets This Role Apart\nTech 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\nAI-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\nA clear, transparent career framework with defined competency expectations and multi-track progression pathways (Technical, Leadership)\nReal product impact: you will contribute to the Fusion Automotive Retail Platform, connecting every phase of the vehicle lifecycle for dealers and consumers worldwide\nContinuous growth support through a Personal Development Plan (PDP), regular coaching, and access to the AI Champions enablement program\nA global, collaborative engineering community grounded in the values of Bold, Authentic, and United\nOur Guiding Principles\nWe are Bold: We challenge the status quo, explore new technologies, and champion high standards for quality.\nWe are Authentic: We engage in open, honest, and respectful dialogue. We admit when we are wrong and are transparent about risks.\nWe are United: We adopt a platform-first mentality, collaborate seamlessly across teams, and actively mentor others to elevate the entire team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6833,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":true}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Automotive Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T07:57:02Z"}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":57,"reasons":["conf:7","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-02T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/keyloop-ai-native-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/keyloop-ai-native-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-03T00:53:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":638,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4362,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-04T00:00:00Z"}}}
