Software Developer

Since 2001, Procede Software has been a leading provider of enterprise‑level Dealer Management Solutions (DMS) for the heavy‑duty truck and ancillary markets. Serving dealer locations throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia, the industry’s leading dealerships trust Excede to run their business because of its full functionality across all dealership departments, high reliability, and strong integration with their OEM providers. Excede, its powerful DMS, leverages the strength of Microsoft® SQL technology to provide advanced Windows® and browser‑based applications with real‑time information. Why This Role Let’s be honest — this is not a maintenance gig. We have an immense, fascinating problem to solve: dismantling a battle‑tested on‑premises monolith and reimagining it as a modern, cloud‑native platform built for the future. If you're the kind of engineer who lights up when you hear "architecture whiteboard session," this is your playground. We are committed to staying on the cutting edge of AI‑assisted development. Agentic AI isn't a bullet point on our roadmap — it's woven into how we work every day. Tokens flow like the Amazon River through our pipelines, and our tooling evolves as fast as the models do. You won't be waiting for permission to experiment; you'll be expected to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI‑augmented engineering. If you thrive on solving hard problems at scale, want to be an architect and builder — not just a ticket‑closer — and get genuinely excited about shaping a forward‑thinking engineering culture, you'll find this role deeply rewarding. We're building something big, and we want people who want to build it with us.
