General Purpose:
We're the Enterprise Architecture team at WEX. We are in the process of building a "Paved Road", or platform of services and applications that set the standard for processes and tooling for development teams across the company. From new internal product rollouts, to automation, to supporting development teams, we've got more work than we can handle and we're looking for great people to come along for the ride.
Our team works hard, covers for one another, and maintains a work-life balance.
