Job description

Want to build software that people actually use-and see the impact of what you create?

Fred Beans Automotive Group is looking for an Application Developer to help us build a new internal development function from the ground up. This isn't a position where you'll spend your days simply maintaining someone else's software. You'll work directly with leadership and employees across our dealerships and businesses to identify problems, develop practical solutions, test them in real-world environments, and continually improve what you build. Even more exciting, some of what you create could eventually become revenue-generating technology products for the automotive industry.

What You'll Do

Your role will have two primary focuses:

Build technology that makes Fred Beans better.

Develop applications and tools that simplify processes, eliminate paperwork, improve workflows, and make our employees' jobs easier.

Initial projects may include:

• Digitizing incident reporting and employee referral programs
• Streamlining hiring and termination processes
• Building dealership workflow and operational tools
• Identifying manual processes that can be improved through technology

Build products with commercial potential.

Help us develop proprietary technology that could replace third-party products we currently purchase—and potentially become solutions we can offer to other automotive businesses.

Opportunities may include:

• Vehicle reconditioning and workflow technology
• Automotive inventory and operational tools
• Digital vehicle information solutions
• E-commerce solutions for our Parts Distribution Center

What We Offer

• $60,000-$100,000 annual salary, based on experience
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off
• Paid training and professional development
• Employee discounts on vehicles, service, and parts
• Career growth and advancement opportunities

What We're Looking For

• 3-5 years of professional software development experience
• Experience with .NET Framework, C#, VB, ASP.NET and/or MAUI
• SQL/MySQL experience preferred
• GitHub or similar version-control experience
• Ability to take a project from idea through development, testing, launch, and ongoing support
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects
• Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent hands-on experience preferred

Automotive experience is not required. We're more interested in finding a strong developer who is curious about the business, enjoys solving problems, and wants ownership of what they build.

Why Fred Beans?

Fred Beans Automotive Group has been named a Best Place to Work eight years in a row. We're a family-owned company that believes in investing in our people, promoting from within, and finding better ways to serve our customers and employees.

For a developer, this position offers something different: a built-in environment where you can identify a problem, build the solution, put it into use, receive immediate feedback, and measure the results.

You'll also have the opportunity to help shape what our development function becomes and what we build next. If you're a developer who wants to build, solve problems, and see your work make a measurable difference, we'd like to meet you.
