Job Description

About the Team

Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world's money.

Min fees.

Max ease.

Full speed.

  • We're building a new Account Insights team on a simple belief: when customers can see their money clearly, they manage it smarter and move more of their financial life to Wise.
  • You'll help turn millions of transactions into fast, trustworthy, genuinely useful insights that customers act on.
  • Account Insights is an early-stage, growing team spanning backend, mobile, and web, with product and design partners. You'll join senior engineers with real ownership over what we build and a direct hand in shaping the roadmap — a great fit if you want influence and room to grow.

What you'll be working on

  • Owning and building system components behind customer-facing insights features that help people understand and take control of their spending.
  • Helping shape the roadmap and delivering large projects end-to-end.
  • Driving incident response and owning short and long term mitigation steps.
  • Raising the bar across the team: writing high-quality tests and clear documentation, reviewing code, and mentoring, onboarding, and coaching engineers — including contributing to wider engineering forums beyond your squad.

What do you need?

  • Have owned a large, impactful backend projects end-to-end — from technical design to production — and are comfortable being accountable for their reliability, availability, and security.
  • Deep backend fundamentals and strong proficiency in your primary language (we work mainly in Java/Spring Boot), plus a solid grasp of distributed-systems concepts like asynchronous communication and event streaming.
  • Written well-tested, high-quality code, design systems with a long-term view so they're easy to scale and iterate on, and actively improve what's around you.
  • Mentored and coached other engineers, given and received feedback openly, and help build a collaborative, inclusive team.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one of Kafka, stream processing, or high-throughput low-latency services.
