We’re the Enterprise Architecture team at WEX, focusing on Enablement and Eventing. We are in the process of improving existing solutions and also building new ones to continuously modernize our products and technologies. We focus on the latest and most efficient tools to deliver the best products to our customers. We have more work than we can handle and we’re looking for great people to come along for the ride.

Our team works hard, we cover for one another, and we maintain a healthy work-life balance. We own our results and take pride in the ownership of everything we do (check your ego at the door and take pride in owning results!). We all are comfortable balancing the need to move fast with the realities of working in a highly regulated space like payments.

About the role

• You will help us create canonical Kafka topics for the entire enterprise. Our eventing platform is growing and we need a single source of truth from multiple data sources within our company.
   

• You will help us define standards for message content, serialization schemas, canonical topic naming conventions, and anything else that helps our eventing platform reach new levels of excellence. You will work closely with one or more of our divisions to understand how their data is structured.

• You will help us enrich our events with meaningful information from various topics and data sources working with Apache Flink or similar solutions.

• You will help provide architectural blueprints, prototype solutions, analyze data flows, and create the necessary specs to roll out various solutions.
