The Team You’ll Be Working With: Getting Help

At Wise, we’re on a mission to make financial services faster, simpler, and more accessible for everyone. The Getting Help team plays a critical role in this mission by empowering customers to solve their problems quickly and efficiently.  

 

We’ve built the infrastructure for FAQs, self-service pages, and, most recently, launched a chat platform as a primary support channel. We’re enabling smarter customer interactions, automating solutions, and helping other teams deliver better support experiences through it. In 2025, we’re doubling down on making chat the go-to channel for our customers, and we need your expertise to take it to the next level 🚀.  

 

**What Does Our Team Look Like?**  

We’re a cross-functional team of backend, frontend, iOS, and Android engineers, working hand-in-hand with a Product Manager, Analyst, and Designer. Together, we deliver seamless, impactful solutions across all Wise platforms. 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 a **Senior Engineer**, you’ll take the lead on solving complex technical problems, driving the implementation of solutions, and mentoring team members along the way. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, enjoys taking ownership of projects, and is passionate about delivering exceptional customer experiences. 


Qualifications

- The ability to take ownership of complex problems, propose solutions, and drive projects end-to-end to deliver measurable impact.  

- A knack for identifying opportunities to deliver value faster and providing constructive feedback on product and design decisions.  

 

**Collaboration & Leadership**  

- Strong communication skills—you can break down complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences and collaborate effectively across teams.
