ABOUT THIS ROLE

POSITION SUMMARY The Enterprise Apps Engineer II is a senior technical contributor within the Enterprise Applications team at Apex Fintech Solutions, responsible for the administration, automation, and continuous improvement of the firm's SaaS application stack. The role carries deep platform ownership of the Atlassian suite — Jira Software, Jira Service Management, and Confluence — as mission-critical business platforms, while extending across the broader enterprise portfolio including Zoom, Slack, Okta, and Microsoft 365. What distinguishes this role is the expectation that the Engineer can take an ambiguous operational challenge and work through to a practical, scalable solution — drawing on scripting, automation tooling, AI-assisted development, and creative use of the available platform ecosystem to deliver outcomes without waiting for a prescribed path. The Engineer designs sophisticated Atlassian workflows, automation rules, integrations, and governance frameworks that streamline business processes across Engineering, Product, Operations, and Business teams. Beyond the Atlassian platform they serve as the technical escalation point for complex SaaS issues, lead strategic automation and integration initiatives, and mentor junior team members. The role champions platform best practices, proactively identifies improvement opportunities, and ensures enterprise applications deliver a seamless, secure, and productive experience across the firm.
