Site Reliability Engineer-3

Position Summary We are looking for a highly motivated and high-potential Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our team, lead impactful initiatives, and further elevate your career in reliability engineering.

This is a transformative moment to be part of the SRE team at WEX. Our products support a wide range of customer businesses and generate complex, high-volume telemetry and operational data across systems and platforms. As WEX scales, reliability, performance, and operational excellence are more essential than ever.

As a Senior SRE, you’ll take ownership of initiatives that improve the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of our platforms and services. You’ll lead the design and implementation of tooling and automation to reduce toil, improve observability, optimize performance, and enhance incident and problem management. You’ll drive root cause analysis and resilience engineering, helping teams shift from reactive to proactive practices.

You’ll also act as a key partner to engineering and product teams—guiding them on building with reliability in mind, embedding SRE best practices, and influencing platform architecture and operational maturity. We operate with agile methodologies and a product-minded engineering culture, and we leverage modern technologies—including AI—to continuously evolve our reliability capabilities.

You’ll work on complex challenges with high business impact and collaborate with a team of talented engineers and leaders who will support and challenge you to grow further as a technical and strategic leader.

If you’re passionate about reliability, eager to lead, and ready to make a big impact, this is a great opportunity for you!
