Our vision is to build a unified, scalable, and intelligent data infrastructure that unlocks the full potential of WEX’s data. At the core of this vision is an internal developer platform that empowers both technical and non-technical users to seamlessly provision and operate data infrastructure—whether sourced from third-party vendors or open-source services operationalized by WEX teams. This platform ensures that data flows smoothly and consistently across systems, driving innovation and business outcomes.
The platform is designed around a microservices-based architecture, defining a logical model for how data infrastructure is provisioned and consumed. This logical model abstracts complexity, enabling developers and business users alike to onboard quickly and leverage services without deep infrastructure expertise.
Provisioning and orchestration will be powered by Terraform and API-driven integrations, seamlessly connecting to core data services such as the Data Lake, feature engineering pipelines, and GenAI application lifecycle management. In doing so, the platform not only accelerates infrastructure delivery but also creates a foundation for intelligent automation, governance, and scale.
Ultimately, this platform is not just about managing infrastructure—it is about enabling faster experimentation, safer operations, and smarter data-driven applications across WEX.
What You'll Do:
Platform Design & Development:
Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into a comprehensive software system. This includes designing microservices, persistence layers, and implementing deployment workflows using tools like Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, or Salt.
Design, develop, and implement highly available, scalable, and secure platform services for our data PaaS using programming languages (e.g., Python, Go, Java).
Contribute to the architectural evolution of our data platform, ensuring it meets the growing demands of our users and adheres to best practices.
Develop and maintain APIs, automation tools, and internal services to streamline platform operations and enhance developer experience.
Implement and improve data pipelines, storage solutions, and processing frameworks within the PaaS.
Infrastructure Management & Automation:
Manage and optimize cloud infrastructure in AWS and Azure cloud services to support our data platform, focusing on cost-efficiency, performance, and reliability.
Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles using tools like Terraform for provisioning and managing resources.
Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate deployments, testing, and release processes for platform services.
Monitor platform health, performance, and security, and proactively identify and address potential issues.
Data Expertise & Integration:
Work closely with data engineers and AI engineering to understand their needs and provide platform capabilities that facilitate efficient data ingestion, processing, storage, and analysis.
Ensure the platform supports various data technologies and paradigms (e.g., streaming, batch processing, data warehousing, data lakes).
Implement and manage data governance, security, and compliance features within the platform.
What You'll Bring:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
Master's or PhD degree in Computer Science (or related field) or 2+ years of experience in software engineering.
Proven experience managing and optimizing cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure).
Demonstrable experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
Solid experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices (GitHub Actions preferred)
Familiarity with data storage and processing technologies (e.g., Kafka, Spark, Flink, Hadoop, Snowflake, MongoDB, S3/ADLS).
Proficiency in one or more programming languages commonly used for platform development (e.g., Python, Go, Java).
Strong understanding of networking, security, and performance principles in a cloud environment.
Experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
Familiarity with database administration and optimization is a plus.
Familiarity with application access control and automation
Front-end engineering experience is advantageous.
