Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money.
Min fees. Max ease. Full speed.

Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.

As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.
For everyone, everywhere.

More about our mission and what we offer.

This is the team behind the features that empowers businesses to grant custom access and set spending limits for their team members, streamlining the management of their team and business expenses. Our mission is to power small+ businesses to get more done by giving them control of their team’s global money movements.

Most recently, we’re building on the infrastructure that enables businesses to add and manage their team member’s access to the business account, empowering businesses to delegate jobs and workflows by having the flexibility to limit what their team can or can’t do. We’ve taken this even further with another project where we enabled businesses to separate how they held their money and manage each team member’s access to the funds. 

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.
