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 Accounts

TEAM BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The receive accounts expansion team is a global product team working to make it fast, convenient and reliable for customers to receive bank transfers in any currency, anywhere. 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  11+ local account details and 26 global account details and support our regional teams to ensure these details are as convenient as possible to our customers.
