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 over 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 a 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.

Team you will be working with: Receive Adoption

The Receive Adoption team is a global product team working to help customers discover and adopt Wise for receiving third party payments. We do this by building new products and features as well as working to reduce the friction our existing customers have receiving into Wise. We are proud to support 8+ local account details and 17+ global account details and work with our regional teams to ensure these details are as convenient as possible. Customers can use these account details, as well as other payment methods (card, pay with wise, open banking), to create link products, invoices and profile links as well as setting up direct debits or receiving from online marketplaces.

What we expect from you: 

• A strong product mindset and passion for customer experience, you prioritise work with the customers in mind and make data-driven decisions to fix customer pain-points

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

• Experience working with relational and non-relational databases, query optimisation and designing schemas

• You enjoy writing testable code and believe in Test Driven Development

• You believe in and follow best coding practices, code reviews and open feedback

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and Distributed and Concurrent Systems

• Hands on knowledge of system integration patterns

• Knowledge of Java and Spring boot and experience with a messaging system, like Kafka, is a plus… but don’t worry we don’t expect you to know everything!

What does success look like?

• You’ll have onboarded and found your place through understanding your team and tribe vision and how you can contribute

• You’ll understand how our values can help you guide your work

• You’ll understand the reasons behind problematic payments and customer difficulties and how to go about solving them

• You’ll be raising the automation level to enable scaling of the product

• You’ll understand our customers and the impact our product makes in their lives 

• You’ll help us scale-up and build a world class global banking product by finding solutions to our technical challenges and opportunities

What do we offer? 

• Starting salary: £80,000 - £102,000 Base Salary + RSUs
• Numerous great benefits in our London office
