Wise is one the fastest growing companies in Europe and we’re on a mission: to make money without borders the new normal. We’ve got 16 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.

And, we need an experienced Backend Engineer to join our mission and help us build a global platform that’s scalable, reliable and secure. We’re working on lots of exciting challenges, and you’ll dive right into projects helping consumers and businesses receive and send money from anywhere in the world.

About the role 

The Send Money team owns the first feature of Wise, international money transfers, that millions of people around the world use on a daily basis to send money across borders. We are one of the longest-running teams in the company, passionate about our mission to make sending money globally quick, easy and convenient.

How we work

We work in an agile fashion, with engineers closely collaborating with designers, the product manager, and the analyst. The team operates across our Tallinn and London offices.
