Cox Automotive is looking for an early-career engineer who is curious, collaborative, and eager to learn. If you've built meaningful coursework projects, capstones, hackathon apps, internships, or open-source contributions, you'll feel right at home. You'll ship code in a supportive environment with mentorship, modern tooling, and an agile delivery rhythm. What you'll do: Design, build, and maintain features and services for customer-facing or platform capabilities. Write clear, testable code; add unit/integration tests; participate in code reviews; and help debug production issues with guidance. Collaborate with Product, Design, and fellow Engineers in agile ceremonies (backlog refinement, planning, daily stand-ups, demos, retros). Document your work and share learnings with the team; contribute to continuous improvement of our engineering practices. Learn our cloud platform and delivery pipelines; ship small, safe increments frequently. Who You Are: Bachelor's degree in a related discipline. The right candidate could also have a different combination, such as 4 years' experience in a related field. Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, Go, etc.). Foundational knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and HTTP/web services. Familiarity with Git/GitHub and basic CI/CD concepts; experience running unit tests locally. Exposure to cloud concepts (IaaS/PaaS, REST APIs, containers, serverless) from coursework or hands-on projects. Preferred qualifications: Academic or internship experience with AWS (e.g., Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, CloudWatch, RDS, IAM basics). Project or internship experience using TypeScript (Node.js/React) and/or Python (API or data service). Experience building and calling RESTful APIs; basic understanding of testing frameworks (Jest, PyTest, etc.). Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CDK), containers (Docker), or observability tools (logs/metrics/traces). Exposure to Artificial Intelligence-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, or similar) as a plus - especially usage in academic projects or personal learning. Exposure to agile/scrum and working in a team setting (stand-ups, PR reviews, story estimation). Technologies you'll touch here (varies by team) Languages: TypeScript/JavaScript, Python (others welcome) Cloud: AWS (serverless and containerized workloads) APIs & Data: REST/JSON, relational/NoSQL databases Dev Experience: GitHub, CI/CD, automated testing USD 74,000.00 - 111,000.00 per year Compensation: Compensation includes a base salary of $74,000.00 - $111,000.00. The base salary may vary within the anticipated base pay range based on factors such as the ultimate location of the position and the selected candidate's knowledge, skills, and abilities. Position may be eligible for additional compensation that may include an incentive program. Benefits: The Company offers eligible employees the flexibility to take as much vacation with pay as they deem consistent with their duties, the company's needs, and its obligations; seven paid holidays throughout the calendar year; and up to 160 hours of paid wellness annually for their own wellness or that of family members. Employees are also eligible for additional paid time off in the form of bereavement leave, time off to vote, jury duty leave, volunteer time off, military leave, and parental leave.
