About The Team/Role

We’re the Transact Global (TAG) team at WEX.

TAG is an open-loop payment processing platform built from the ground up by an agile team. It is cloud-native and built primarily with Go, MongoDB, and Terraform. The TAG team is pushing the frontiers of payment technology and is in the process of continuing to operationalize and scale the product.

Our team holds itself to a high standard and we collaborate closely with one another to ensure strong, reliable, and effective relationships all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We own our results and we take pride of ownership in everything we do.

How you’ll make an impact

Changing the world isn’t easy, and we have a lot of work ahead of us. From new product features to automation, to creating and supporting microservices, we’ve got more work than we can handle and we’re looking for great people to come along for the ride.

Culturally, you are

• A highly motivated technical leader who loves working on high-performing teams
• Collaborative, a solid communicator, and work well with your team and stakeholders
• Someone who cares deeply for team results, checks your ego at the door and takes pride in owning results
• A mentor who is capable and passionate at guiding the technical development of less experienced developers at the functional, component, and architectural levels
• A professional who can advocate strongly for positions and still be 100% behind team decisions even if they don’t go your way
• Are comfortable balancing the need to move fast with the realities of working in a highly regulated space like payments
  
  

Technically, you

• Are passionate about writing code, with experience in multiple languages
• Are able to quickly learn business domains and strategy, as well as apply technical solutions
• Pick up new technology and languages, as well as switch between tech stacks with minimal fuss
• Are comfortable working on and leading others in development of back-end services, data stores, and infrastructure systems
• Demonstrably able to rapidly design modern software architectures at virtually any scale using justifiable and strategic decisions
• Have substantial experience writing modern software deployed in the cloud
• Are comfortable with encryption, systems design, data modeling, modern API design, streaming architectures, and front-end frameworks
• Have technically led agile teams to deliver software iteratively
• Have experience in implementing continuous integration and delivery
  
  

Experience you’ll bring

• Have a BS in an engineering field OR can make us feel intensely confident that you don’t need one
• Have 10+ years of development experience
• Have 8+ years of experience developing internal/external web services
• Have 6+ years of experience writing well-formed unit, component, and integration tests and have an in-depth understanding of the test pyramid
• Have 4+ years of experience delivering streaming (e.g., Kafka) and other asynchronous architectures (e.g., RabbitMQ)
• Have experience in multiple cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, etc.)
• Have a significant and demonstrable working understanding of multiple modern web frameworks
• Have an in-depth working understanding of NoSQL, SQL, and other (e.g., graph) data stores and can practically apply them in solving business problems
  
  

It would be nice if you

• Have an MS or other advanced degree in an engineering field
• Can show us one or more passion projects or open-source work you have contributed to in your own time
• Have experience with Golang, AWS, and Terraform
• Enjoy hanging out with your team
