We bring bold digital visions to life. So we’re on the lookout for more curious and creative engineers who want to create change – one line of high-quality code at a time. Our transformation isn't for everyone, but if you're excited about solving the leading-edge technological challenges facing the auto industry, then let’s talk about your next move.
By joining the Platform Data Spoke, you will be part of a new team with a clear vision: to leverage data, analytics, and AI to guide decisions, amplify value, and unlock new opportunities that extend and fuel sustainable growth. The spoke plays a strategic role in enabling leadership and teams to make smarter decisions and innovate faster. You will work hands-on with a modern technology stack while shaping best practices for how platform and cross-functional data is used. This is an opportunity to grow your skills in a truly international environment, where collaboration, learning, and trust are at the core of how we work.
The LeadAnalytics Engineer is the technical anchor of the Platform Data Spoke. You will shape and deliver high-quality data products that are trusted, reusable, and cost-efficient.
