The Role

Senior Software Engineer

Are you a skilled .NET engineer ready to make a real impact in a high-velocity, high-scale environment?

Join Cox Automotive Europe as a Senior Software Engineer and help us build next-generation digital platforms powering Manheim Vehicle Services — a business that processes over 200,000 vehicles a year for the UK’s leading manufacturers, finance, and rental companies.

We’re not just maintaining legacy systems — we’re transforming. You’ll be at the heart of a major tech shift: moving from .NET Framework monoliths to microservices in .NET 8, AWS, Docker, GraphQL, and Terraform.

Help shape our transition to microservices and event-driven architecture

Write clean, tested, maintainable code with a focus on quality

Collaborate across product, engineering, and DevOps in a high-trust agile team

Mentor teammates, review code, and support knowledge-sharing initiatives

Work with exciting tech: .NET 8, AWS, Docker, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, React, GitHub Actions

What You Bring:

Hands-on experience in .NET, AWS, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)

Solid understanding of both SQL & NoSQL databases and event-driven systems

Experience in TDD, clean code, and continuous delivery

Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams

A proactive, curious mindset and desire to grow in a fast-moving environment

Ready to build products that drive real-world logistics at scale?

Apply now and help us redefine vehicle services tech.
