Learn English – the proper preposition for “(job title) in / at / of (company name)”

prepositionsword-usage

I am writing a cover letter for my job application, and I am not sure which preposition is proper to use at a sentence as below.
"Hereby, I am applying for the position of AAA (position title) in BBB (company name)."

I am not sure if "in" is the correct one or not. How about "at" or "of", instead of using "in".

  • I am applying for the position of AAA (job title) in BBB (company name).
  • I am applying for the position of AAA (job title) at BBB (company name).
  • I am applying for the position of AAA (job title) of BBB (company name).

And if you can tell me why, I would appreciate.
(Using proper preposition is the most difficult part for/to(?) me.)

Thank you in advance!
