Job Description

About the role

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.

About the team:

Account Insights is an early-stage, growing team spanning backend, mobile, and web, with product and design partners. You'll join with senior engineers alongside you and real ownership over what we build — a great fit if you want influence and room to grow.

How we work:

  • 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.
  • What will you be working on?
  • Building the backend behind customer-facing insights features — spending summaries, travel insights, and spend controls like budgets and recurring-payment tracking.
  • Working across a high-throughput streaming and storage stack (Java/Spring Boot, Kafka, stream processing) to aggregate activity data accurately and serve it through low-latency, well-documented APIs.
  • Improving categorisation accuracy so the numbers customers see are ones they trust.
  • Owning components and flows end-to-end — through development, deployment, and running them in production, including the on-call rotation.
  • Writing high-quality tests, clear documentation, and reviewing code to raise the bar across the team.

A bit about you

  • You deliver medium-sized backend projects independently and see them through the full lifecycle, drawing on the team for the toughest problems.
  • Solid backend fundamentals and proficiency in your primary language (we work mainly in Java/Spring Boot), plus a good grasp of distributed-systems concepts like asynchronous communication and event streaming.
  • You write well-tested, high-quality code and actively improve what's around you.
  • You give and receive feedback openly and help build a collaborative, inclusive team.
  • Nice to have
(not essential)experience with Kafka, stream processing, or high-throughput low-latency services.
