Senior Software Engineer (Remote)

At its core, Wex is a FinTech company that enables payments. Our role within this organization is to protect ourselves and our customers from malicious and fraudulent activity. This requires state of the art fraud monitoring, detection, and mitigation tools.

We focus on cloud-based solutions to help achieve fast, scalable results that allow our customers and business partners the flexibility they need to ensure integrity in their transactions and to react to emerging threats in the global marketplace.

Our team of professionals works hard, covers for one another, and maintains a work-life balance. We own our results and we take pride in ownership in everything we do.

Minimizing risk isn’t easy and we’re always looking for motivated individuals to join our efforts. From expanding our native risk architecture, to deploying the latest AI/ML model, to integrating best of breed fraud systems, we’re always challenged to stay ahead in our evolving marketplace.

As a Senior Engineer, it’s expected that you’ll be able to assign programming tasks to yourself with minimal guidance from other engineers while problem-solving with others. It’s also expected that you’ll be able to implement solutions that are within and align to Wex target state architectures.
