Senior Staff Software Engineer - Data Platform
WEXWEXUS
Role Description As a Sr. Staff Data Platform Engineer, you will be the primary architect and visionary for the core data infrastructure that powers the entire enterprise. This is a "platform-as-a-product" role; your mission is to build the internal foundation—creating the high-performance engines, abstraction layers, and self-service frameworks that enable hundreds of other engineers to move faster. You will operate at the intersection of Systems Programming and Data Engineering, solving "hard-tech" problems like: - Automated schema evolution - Multi-engine compute optimization - Global data discovery As a top-level technical individual contributor, you will bridge the gap between long-term business strategy and deep-kernel technical execution, ensuring WEX’s data platform remains a competitive advantage. Is this role for you? - YES, if you are a Backend/Software Engineer who loves solving "Big Data" problems, building APIs for data discovery, and optimizing distributed systems. - NO, if your primary expertise is writing SQL queries, building Tableau dashboards, or managing ETL workflows without deep experience in Java or Python system architecture. Qualifications - 15+ years in software engineering and distributed systems, with at least 4 years in a principal or staff-level capacity leading platform-scale initiatives. - Strong fundamentals on software engineering, system architecture, and scalable production applications (Algorithms, Data Structures, and System Design). - Experience in the Java/J2EE ecosystem (Spring Boot, Microservices) and Python. - Experience building the platforms/framework engines and APIs that power data movement. - Deep internal knowledge of Apache Iceberg, Hudi, or Delta Lake. - Extensive experience designing and building high-throughput, fault-tolerant data pipelines and orchestration frameworks. - Extensive experience with cloud architecture and services, including AWS (S3, EMR, Kubernetes, Lambda) and Azure. - Experience leveraging AI Code Gen platforms into the software development lifecycle (SDLC). - Proven track record of "leading by influence"—driving adoption of new technologies across multiple autonomous teams. - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science (Distributed Systems focus) preferred, or equivalent deep industry experience. Requirements - Define the 3-5 year technical roadmap for the Data Lakehouse. - Build internal SDKs, CLI tools, and automated orchestration frameworks. - Prototype and benchmark emerging technologies. - Architect "compliance-by-design" systems. - Facilitate real-time data ingestion by implementing streaming support for Open Telemetry data. - Set the gold standard for code quality and system design across the company. - Foster an "Engineering Community," influencing the hiring bar and professional development paths. Benefits - Health, dental, and vision insurances - Retirement savings plan - Paid time off - Health savings account - Flexible spending accounts - Life insurance - Disability insurance - Tuition reimbursement - Quarterly or annual bonus based on role and applicable plan Company Description The base pay range represents the anticipated low and high end of the pay range for this position. Actual pay rates will vary and will be based on various factors, such as your qualifications, skills, competencies, and proficiency for the role. Base pay is one component of WEX's total compensation package. Most sales positions are eligible for commission under the terms of an applicable plan. WEX's comprehensive and market competitive benefits are designed to support your personal and professional well-being. Pay Range: $220,000.00 - $255,800.00
