At Apex Capital, we’ve spent over 30 years building and operating financial technology infrastructure that keeps the transportation industry moving. Our systems process real-time transactions, support thousands of clients, and run at a scale that demands engineering precision and operational discipline. We’re looking for a Systems Engineering Manager who brings both technical credibility and leadership depth - someone who can keep a skilled infrastructure team running at its best while driving the systems that underpin everything we do.

This role is based in Fort Worth, TX and operates on a hybrid schedule with an average of four on-site days per week, therefore candidates should be local to the Dallas-Fort Worth area or willing to relocate. Apex Capital does not sponsor applicants for work visas. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.

• Lead, develop, and advocate for the infrastructure team — setting clear expectations, managing performance, and creating an environment where technical and professional skills are continuously developed across a team spanning site reliability, platform engineering, systems, and infrastructure architecture.

• Maintain active, hands-on involvement in the design, implementation, and operation of enterprise infrastructure across on-premises and hybrid cloud environments, ensuring systems are stable, highly available, redundant, scalable, and secure.

• Drive large-scale infrastructure initiatives from planning through delivery — leading technical reviews and risk mitigation strategies, contributing to architecture planning, managing timelines and resource allocation, and ensuring execution aligns with standards set by the Enterprise Architect.

• Translate business objectives into technical strategies; collaborate cross-functionally with security, database, software engineering, desktop support, and the Enterprise Architect, and communicate progress, risks, and recommendations to leadership with clarity and consistency.

• Own compliance adherence for applicable frameworks including SOC 2, and formalize operational disciplines — change management, incident response, disaster recovery, and capacity planning — so the team operates with structured, repeatable processes.

• Have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field; equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered.

• Bring 7+ years of progressive experience in systems engineering, infrastructure, or a related technical discipline.

• Experience supervising technical teams.

• Experience operating in hybrid on-premises and cloud environments across compute, network, storage, and platform domains.

• Experience contributing to or implementing compliance frameworks such as SOC 2.

• Familiarity with ITSM or operational frameworks such as ITIL.

• Experience building or maturing change management, incident response, or DR processes.
