More about our mission.

About the role 

Join Wise Platform and help us to build the best API integration experience on the planet for our partners. Our product engineering teams strive to truly understand what our partners need; working hand-in-hand with solutions engineers and business development to create powerful, scalable solutions for major global enterprises and banks. This role offers the chance to make a significant impact, addressing challenges like frictionlessly onboarding customers and enabling seamless international money transfers.

We are looking for an engineer that is passionate about solving complex problems for their stakeholders. Someone who thrives working in an environment where they are empowered to make decisions and drive features and products forward. To do this, we believe that to make the best technical decision, you should have a strong understanding of the products you’re building. 

How we work

We operate on a strong belief in automation, programmatic implementation, and reusable design. We’re looking for people who can step back and think holistically about the ecosystem, but also follow through and help implement the design; drawing on the resources across the rest of the global product tribe.

We need to sustain this growth by continuously iterating on the services we run, with a focus on availability, security, and ease of use. We’re looking for an engineer with relevant experience who can analyse complex requirements and deliver simple solutions to help our teams achieve our mission with speed and confidence.
