Backend Engineer - Send Core

We’re unable to support relocation or visa sponsorship for this role. Candidates will need to already be based in the UK (or able to work from the UK).

We are looking for a Backend Engineer to join our Send Core team.

We provide the critical infrastructure that every sending transaction flows through - from 10 pounds sent to a friend to a multi-million dollar business payment. We are on a mission to make sending money as easy and fast as paying for groceries with your card.

Apart from keeping our core infrastructure in a good shape, we are building customer-facing products that power the customer's send journey.

We believe that an engineer is more than just a coder. Our engineers are focused on improving our customers’ experience - and they see the impact of their work on millions of people every day.

Wise is all about collaboration. You will be surrounded by passionate people and work together with them to progress our mission.

• Shape our Products: Collaborate with product, design, and data teams to deliver best experience for our customers

• Control Critical Infrastructure: Own the systems that every sending transactions depends on across the entire platform

• Drive Technical Excellence: Make architectural decisions for the core send components, making them reliant and performant

We understand that you may not have much experience in our stack, or you haven’t worked with the frontend for a while - and that’s fine! As long as you are willing to learn and have strong fundamentals - we want to hear from you.

• Strong computer science fundamentals

• Strong knowledge of the modern tech stack and design concepts

• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and simply

• Focus on solving real customer problems with every change you made

• Clear understanding of why we are building what we are building

• Ability to think in product terms - not just on the code level

• Passion to always learn and grow

• Getting things done yourself, instead of waiting to be told what to do

• Curiosity to explore ways to improve our products and your day-to-day work

• How we work – a practical guide
