About The Role

As the FIT Technical Lead you will be a hands-on, technically focused, providing consistent leadership in guiding teams through the Fabric onboarding process. This individual contributor role will require strong technical leadership and project management skills.

WEX is a leading and growing global provider of payment processing, information management and fleet card payment solutions. We hire people who share our passion for continuous innovation and unparalleled client service.

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

We need help!

With increasing interest in Fabric (our in-house developed PaaS), we need a DevOps expert to guide and support the onboarding of the platform. Currently, FIT (Fabric Implementation Team) operates on an inner sourcing model, drawing temporarily from our ring-fenced DevOps teams.
