Senior Backend Engineer

Company Description

Wise is one of the fastest growing companies in Europe and we’re on a mission: to make money without borders the new normal. We’ve got 13 million customers across the globe and we’re growing. Fast.

Current banking systems don't let us send, spend or receive money across borders easily. Or quickly. Or cheaply. 

So, we’re building a new one.


Job Description

The Engineering Team at Wise is central to what has made the business successful. Having product-focused and forward-thinking engineers has allowed Wise to cater to the needs of customers unlike any other business. They have built a world-leading platform and product, but there is still more to do.

We work cross-functionally in squads who are vital to driving the mission of our business forward. Teams are empowered to define their vision, priorities, and KPIs together.

You won’t be boxed in and will be free to work on our current and new products. We’ll help you to grow, and have the ability to shape our products — you’ll love to figure things out on your own. 

You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and take responsibility across the full product lifecycle. You’re accountable and get things done.

This role is based in the Europe & UK PayIn team. We work on helping customers move funds into Wise. 

The team runs as an agile development team, with daily standup meetings and delivery happens in sprints. We are highly-data driven and obsess over metrics. We seek customer and wider business feedback on our decisions. 

Our recent work has been to enable customers to pay into Wise using Open Banking. Alongside this we have been reducing our maintenance overhead through architectural changes and improving payment choices across Europe. 

Here’s what we use:

Java

Spring Boot 

SQL Databases 

AWS 

Kubernetes

Kafka

Gradle

 

Here’s what we do:

Building APIs which support our product journeys 

Test new features to gauge customer response 

Own and support microservices, contribute to our overall architecture

Work with Product Managers to decide improvements to our journeys

Monitor our systems through dashboards and strong alerting 

 

We are looking for someone with:

Professional experience with Java, Spring Boot 

4+ years of experience

Great communication skills

Happy to work in an environment where what needs to be built isn’t always clearly defined 

Confidence working in a team with a high delivery rate 

 

Nice to have:

Background in financial technology

Experience with customer interviews or A/B test

Experience with Product Management roles

Confidence with data tooling such as Superset or Grafana

 

If this sounds like a role you’d be interested in, please get in touch! 

This role will be paying from £80,000 - £102,000 + RSU's
