We’re the Enterprise Architecture team at WEX, focusing on Enablement and Eventing.

Our team works hard, we cover for one another, and we maintain a healthy work-life balance. We own our results and take pride in the ownership of everything we do (check your ego at the door and take pride in owning results!).
