Power the Possibilities

The CDK Global technology team is looking for collaborative innovators who are passionate about making their mark on emerging enterprise software products. We’re building and developing cloud technology for the automotive retail industry that will change the landscape for automotive dealers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the customers they serve.

Be Part of Something Bigger

Each year, more than three percent of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is attributed to the auto industry, which flows through our customer, the auto dealer. It’s time you joined an evolving marketplace where research and development investment is measured in the tens of billions. It’s time you were a part of something bigger.

We’re expanding our workforce – engineers, architects, developers and more – onboarding early adopters who can optimize, pivot and keep pace with ever-evolving development roadmaps and applications.

• Lead the way – Do you have a passion for doing public cloud right? Your technical thought leadership and deep skills will set the path for CDK’s use of public cloud computing. You will influence the organization at all levels.
• Automate, Automate, Automate - you’ll lead initiatives to automate everything from assisting application development teams in writing deployment code to developing Infrastructure-as-Code to drive security, operational process automation and governance.
• There’s got to be a better way - Can you look at an architecture, process, or application flow and see a more stable, standard, or optimized way to accomplish the same thing? Do you ask “why” when a request doesn’t sound right? Do you see problems and immediately want to fix them yourself? Can you find ways to quantify and prioritize these improvements?
  
  

Join Our Team

Growth potential, flexibility and material impact on the success and quality of a next-gen, enterprise software product make CDK an excellent choice for those who thrive in challenging, fast-paced engineering environments.
