Enterprise Platforms - Data & Analytics, Data Engineer I Cox Automotive is seeking a motivated Data Engineer I to join our Data & Analytics team. This entry-level role is ideal for recent graduates or early-career professionals who are eager to build, maintain, and improve data solutions that impact all of Cox Automotive. You will work alongside experienced engineers who will mentor you as you grow your skills in data pipeline development, data discovery, definition alignment, mapping, profiling, and auditing. A key differentiator for this role is hands‑on comfort with AI‑powered engineering tools; you should already be using tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar AI assistants to write, review, and ship code faster.

Demonstrated experience using AI‑powered developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, ChatGPT, or similar) for code generation, completion, or review in any setting‑full‑time role, internship, or college coursework
Familiarity with cloud‑computing concepts; exposure to Snowflake and/or AWS environments is a plus
General awareness of data platform and data warehouse concepts
Strong critical thinking, analytical, and problem‑solving skills
Eagerness to learn from and be mentored by a collaborative, experienced engineering team
