We present high cadence optical and ultraviolet observations of the Type IIsupernova (SN), SN 2022jox which exhibits early spectroscopic high ionizationflash features of \ion{H}{1}, \ion{He}{2}, \ion{C}{4}, and \ion{N}{4} thatdisappear within the first few days after explosion. SN 2022jox was discoveredby the Distance Less than 40 Mpc (DLT40) survey $\sim$0.75 days after explosionwith followup spectra and UV photometry obtained within minutes of discovery.The SN reached a peak brightness of M$_V \sim$ $-$17.3 mag, and has anestimated $^{56}$Ni mass of 0.04 M$_{\odot}$, typical values for normal Type IISNe. The modeling of the early lightcurve and the strong flash signaturespresent in the optical spectra indicate interaction with circumstellar material(CSM) created from a progenitor with a mass loss rate of $\dot{M} \sim10^{-3}-10^{-2}\ M_\odot\ \mathrm{yr}^{-1}$. There may also be some indicationof late-time CSM interaction in the form of an emission line blueward ofH$\alpha$ seen in spectra around 200 days. The mass-loss rate is much higherthan the values typically associated with quiescent mass loss from redsupergiants, the known progenitors of Type II SNe, but is comparable toinferred values from similar core collapse SNe with flash features, suggestingan eruptive event or a superwind in the progenitor in the months or yearsbefore explosion.
