Job Description

The Platform Engineering Tribe:

• We are the backbone of Wise's technical infrastructure, ensuring everything runs smoothly for our customers and engineering teams.
• Our Reliability squad combines expertise in systems availability and uptime, monitoring performance metrics, and developing robust applications, to create a resilient platform that our customers can depend on 24/7/365.
• Our impact is indirect but critical: when Platform works well, every product team ships faster, safer, and at lower cost. We operate around four north-star KPIs: Productivity, Cost Efficiency, Risk, and Reliability.

About You

• We're looking for someone who is obsessed with moving metrics, not just analysing them. We care far more about what you changed than what you built.
• You might be a strong analyst, product-minded data scientist, or even an ex-engineer, but what matters most is that you:

• Take ownership of outcomes, not just outputs
• Are comfortable operating in ambiguity and shaping problems
• Influence senior stakeholders without formal authority
• Care about real-world impact more than perfect models

How You'll Work:

• Own Cloud Platform's metrics end-to-end: definition, measurement, targets, coverage, and progress
• Define what good looks like: understand systems, and the balance between costs, productivity, security, stability, and their trade-offs
• Enable data-informed decisions: bring clarity to complex problems and push for action
• Create leverage: frameworks, dashboards, and narratives that scales

Qualifications

Technical Expectations:

• Excellent SQL proficiency and experience with data visualisation tools like Looker, Grafana, Lightdash, or Superset
• Ability to build and manage data pipelines that are modularised and scalable, using tools like DBT and Airflow
• Familiarity with observability/reliability concepts (SLIs, SLOs, incidents)
• Some experience with Python / data transformation (DBT, etc.) is helpful

This is not a data engineering role, depth in pipelines is less important than impact on decisions

Additional Information

Why Should You Join Our Team?

• Own a company-level KPI: not a dashboard, but a real outcome
• High leverage: your work affects hundreds of engineers and millions of customers
• Complex, meaningful problems: distributed systems, real-time failures, trade-offs at scale
• Influence without authority: work directly with senior engineering leadership

Benefits

• Salary: £45,000-£68,000
• Competitive stock options in a profitable company
• Flexible working conditions tailored to support a balance between work and personal life
• Annual budget for personal and professional development

Commitment to Diversity:
