Pawn lending and pre-owned retail with 5,000+ employees across US and Latin America
EZCORP operates a large-scale pawn and retail network across the US and Latin America, serving cash-constrained consumers with collateral-based loans and resale merchandise. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (SAP, Workday, Azure infrastructure) with active operational modernization: projects span payroll integration across new countries, analytics data pipelines, and automation of manual workflows. Hiring is accelerating across ops, engineering, and HR—a pattern consistent with scaling regional operations and retiring legacy manual processes.
EZCORP is a public company (NASDAQ: EZPW) with roots as a pawn lender founded in 1978 and expanded into a network across the United States and Latin America. The core business model is non-recourse pawn loans (short-term cash secured by personal property) and retail sales of forfeited and used merchandise. The organization spans 5,001–10,000 employees and is headquartered in Rollingwood, Texas. Their operational footprint now includes payroll and HR processes across multiple countries, supported by enterprise platforms (SAP for core operations, Workday for HR and payroll) and modern cloud infrastructure (Azure Kubernetes Service, Datadog, Dynatrace for observability).
EZCORP runs on SAP and Workday for core operations and HR, Azure Kubernetes Service and Kubernetes for container orchestration, Datadog and Dynatrace for monitoring, and Azure infrastructure (DevOps, Monitor, VMs, networking). PowerShell and Terraform drive infrastructure-as-code.
Active projects include payroll integration for new countries, prism analytics data ingestion, automation of manual data entry, knowledge management system maintenance, and a 'power of one' architecture implementation—signaling backend modernization.
