The role

About the Role:

Wise is on a mission to create money without borders—making it instant, transparent, and eventually free. To support this rapid global growth, our Finance Squad ensures that our financial processes run in an efficient, scalable, and controlled manner.

We are looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer II to join our Data Onboarding Team in London. In this role, you will be the driving force behind building, scaling, and optimizing the critical data pipelines on top of our Lakehouse (Trino + Iceberg) infrastructure following a strict Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold layers). You will build robust data pipelines that serve as the foundational bedrock for reporting and assurance across the entire Finance squad.

The Finance Squad is responsible for steward-shipping the financial truth of Wise. The Data Onboarding team operates alongside Core Accounting, Finance Implementation, and Data & Assurance. Our team's mandate is to abstract product complexity and build reusable, domain-agnostic stream-enrichment pipelines. We handle high-throughput financial event data (processing hundreds of millions of events daily) to bridge the gap between immutable product events and audit-ready data structures.

Technical Leadership & Pipeline Engineering

  • Lakehouse Architecture: Design, build, and optimize robust end-to-end data pipelines on top of our Trino + Iceberg Lakehouse stack.

  • Medallion Implementation: Own the extraction, cleaning, and modeling layers to progressively refine raw event logs (Bronze) into verified subledgers (Silver) and structured Gold metrics.

  • Stream Processing: Work closely with high-throughput messaging queues (Kafka) and real-time computation models to maintain our data freshness SLAs.

  • Data Quality & Assurance: Embed rigorous, automated reconciliation checks within the data pipelines (e.g., balance and double-entry validations) to catch data discrepancies before they reach financial reporting layers.

Strategic Impact & Collaboration

  • Product & Stakeholder Alignment: Partner directly with finance controllers, analysts, product and engineering to turn complex corporate finance needs into production-ready data schemas.

  • Platform Alignment: Address data scaling constraints, structural technical debt, and compute optimizations to directly align infrastructure costs with Wise's financial targets.

Mentorship & Engineering Excellence

  • Upskilling: Assist and coach mid-level/junior engineers within the team, performing thorough code and technical design reviews.

Soft Skills

  • A strong sense of long-term technical ownership.

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to bridge technical engineering realities with financial analyst requirements.
