We are seeking a seasoned Sr. Manager of Engineering in the WEX Mobility Engineering organization. This role will lead the engineering team for our Mobility APIs product that caters fleet management and mobility payments solutions to our large customers and partners. Mobility APIs development team spans across USA and Brazil. Our Mobility systems provide SaaS and API solutions to various customers in North America. WEX Mobility products enable credit issuance to fleet companies and their employees, and owner-operator truckers in the form of WEX Credit Cards, which can be used in fueling stations and select other merchants. At WEX, we provide fleet managers and operators with the ability to configure spend controls that restrict fleet members to use their card only at preconfigured merchants and for configured product families.

• Collaborate with other Mobility engineering teams to reuse development practices and components to reduce duplication.

• Drive cross-team engineering projects as a single-threaded-owner (STO)

• Hire, lead, manage, retain, and grow high-performance software engineers using active career growth planning.

• Work closely with product and commercial partners to drive, prioritize, and work backwards from the customer requirements to develop modern API suite.

• Drive effective monthly and weekly mechanisms to plan, execute, and audit workstreams.

• Partner with product and commercial (sales) leads to maintain a well-thoughtout roadmap, and create clear and inter-dependent OKRs with these partners.

• Establish a robust and clear engineering roadmap to maintain clarity and motivation for the engineering team. Maintain career growth plans and provide monthly and quarterly feedback for individuals' continual progress.

• Establish measurement of metrics-driven dev productivity across Mobility APIs team.

• Comfortably present, influence, and communicate to the senior leadership team. Provide regular updates and insights to your manager (Director) on the challenges and opportunities within the Mobility domain.

Experience you'll bring:

• Master's degree in Computer Science or related discipline.

• 8 years of experience in software engineering with 4 years of engineering management experience.

• Expertise in developing large-scale distributed systems and proven experience in testing and validating solutions for accuracy and performance

• Ability to automate generating scaffolding code, unit tests, and integration tests using past execution data and generative AI

• Strong understanding of security and compliance requirements in cloud and data environments.

• Excellent leadership, team-building, and dynamic decision-making skills.

• Ability to deal with ambiguity and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
