About The Position

As a Senior Engineer - Corporate Platforms, you’ll be the technical backbone behind Hertz’s financial transaction ecosystem — the systems that manage invoicing, settlement, recapture, refunds, and financial configuration across the enterprise. You’ll work closely with Finance, Accounting, Payments, and Technology teams to ensure our financial processes are accurate, scalable, and resilient. In this role, you’ll not only sustain and enhance the current mainframe-based solutions but also architect the bridge to next-generation, cloud-based platforms that will define the future of our financial systems. Your days will be a blend of hands-on problem-solving, root-cause analysis, design for modernization, and deep collaboration across teams. You’ll dive into legacy logic to understand how money moves through our systems today — then translate that into smarter, more automated, future-ready capabilities. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring the continuity, reliability, and evolution of the systems that keep the business running — while also preparing for what’s next.
