Visa Sponsorship: Cox Automotive is unable to provide visa sponsorship now or in the future for this position, candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related discipline and 4 years’ experience in a related field; or a different combination, such as a master’s degree and 2 years’ experience; a Ph.D. and 1 years’ experience in a related field; or 12 years’ experience in a related field with no degree.

• Professional experience designing, building, and maintaining production software in a modern object-oriented language (e.g., C#, Java, Kotlin, Go, TypeScript, Python, C++).

• Strong command of object-oriented design fundamentals — encapsulation, composition, interface design, SOLID, dependency injection, and common design patterns — with the judgment to know whennotto apply them.

• Experience delivering software in a microservice or service-oriented architecture, including defining service boundaries, versioning APIs, and handling distributed failure modes (timeouts, retries, idempotency, partial failure).

• Experience designing and consuming HTTP/REST APIs (or gRPC/GraphQL equivalents), including contract design, backward compatibility, and authentication/authorization patterns.

• Proficiency with relational databases: schema design, indexing, query tuning, transactions, and managed schema migrations.

• Experience with asynchronous and message-driven processing using queues, topics, or event streams.

• Experience building and operating services in a public cloud environment, including containerized workloads.

• Demonstrated automated testing discipline across unit, integration, and end-to-end layers, with work delivered through a CI/CD pipeline.

• Proficiency with Git-based workflows and code review as a routine part of delivery — both giving and receiving substantive feedback.

• Experience with production support and observability: structured logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and triaging live incidents.

• Track record of senior-level ownership: taking ambiguous problems through design, implementation, and release; decomposing work for others; and raising engineering standards on a team.

• Clear written and verbal communication with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience working in an Agile or iterative delivery model.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with C# and .NET (modern .NET,ASP.NETCore, Entity Framework Core).
