At Cox, we’re passionate about building software that solves problems. Our systems engineers are a key to this success by helping accelerate deliveries and increasing application resilience. Founded on the premise to standardize tooling across a set of teams and to evangelize new technologies and processes, the systems engineers regularly investigate engineering pain-points and then thoughtfully provide scalable solutions.
A perfect candidate is one that likes automating tedious tasks, create safety guards from mistakes being made, prefers simplifying problems instead of overcomplicating things, being proactive instead of reactive, mindfully accepting tech-debt, and, most importantly, working as a team. If this describes you, or you want to hear more, click the Apply button and we look forward to connecting.
At Cox, collaboration and support are woven into the fabric of everything we do. Risk-taking is encouraged and we reward great results. Giving back to the community is important at Cox Automotive. You will be given time during working hours to volunteer at local charities.
