More about our mission and what we offer.

The team you’ll be working with: Mitigation Requirements

At Wise, we’re on a mission to make financial services faster, simpler, and more accessible for everyone. To achieve our mission, we also need to safeguard our platform against financial crime and ensure our customers’ money are safe. The Mitigation Requirements team plays a critical role in this by providing a highly scalable system to orchestrate which information we need to request from our customers, and then have automations and Servicing Agents to review it.

We are developing the infrastructure that provides teams at Wise with insights into the operational cost and risk associated with their ownership of the Wise product. This empowers them to enhance the product, reducing Wise's cost for customers and enabling a smoother experience when additional information is required from them. The infrastructure also enables automation of Servicing processes through a rich API in a distributed environment, and it is the core connection between customers and our Servicing agents.

What does our team look like?

We’re a backend focused team, focused on high quality, scalable distributed systems. To deliver impact faster, we engage with other teams at Wise, so we deliver a platform with the right complexity and adaptability that gets more impactful for Wise on every release. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do — we value ownership, knowledge sharing, and a commitment to building stable, scalable systems while embracing fast-paced learning and iteration.  

What we expect from you

As an Engineer Lead, you'll be instrumental in building and maintaining robust and scalable backend systems. You’ll collaborate closely with the team on feature implementation and issue resolution, as well as plan the team's growth. You'll also play a key role in cross-team collaboration, essential for building and growing our platform for other Wise teams and iterating over the team's vision. This includes documenting at the appropriate abstraction level to scale the adoption of our developments. We're looking for a proactive individual with a strong foundation in backend technologies, a passion for writing clean and efficient code, and a desire to learn and grow within a supportive environment.

Qualifications

• You have strong, hands-on technical experience in OOP Languages (Java) and modern technology stacks on technologies such as REST APIs, microservices, distributed systems and CI/CD pipelines - you will have to complete technical interviews to showcase your knowledge. 

• You have proven experience in leading and mentoring software engineers, as you enjoy helping others grow and succeed.

• Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts to a non-technical audience.

• You thrive in a collaborative environment and have experience working effectively with globally distributed cross-functional peers like product managers, and analysts.

• You are not just a people manager, you’re a technical and product passionate contributor who can grow teams, individuals, initiatives and empower our ICs to expand their industry presence.

• A track record of writing clean, testable, maintainable code and a strong belief in best practices like code reviews, open feedback, and continuous improvement.

• The ability to design technical solutions that balance latency, throughput, and scalability.

For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders  — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.

We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.

Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
