Wise is one the fastest growing companies in Europe and we're on a mission: to make money without borders the new normal. We've got 10 million customers across the globe and we're growing. Fast.

Current banking systems don't let us send, spend or receive money across borders easily. Or quickly. Or cheaply.

So, we're building a new one.

We're looking for full-time Senior Full Stack Developers to join our growing team in Singapore. The role is a unique opportunity to build beautifully simple experiences that guide our customers through Wise, helping them to live, travel and work without borders.

How you'll be contributing to our Engineering team:
  • Help us take Wise to the next level as we scale to impact 100's of millions more customers. You'll hide away all complexities under the hood of our product and build seamless experiences for our customers
  • Working on the core flow of Wise, you'll guide our customers from their first experience on our landing page to completing a transfer and making sure they are informed every step of the way
  • Create clear and helpful interfaces, whilst maintaining consistency, maintainability, performance and an understanding of what problems our customers might encounter along the way
  • Take initiative to identify and solve important problems. Coordinates with others on cross-cutting technical issues
  • Drive product improvement that impacts the Wise customer experience or empowers internal stakeholders (teams like Operations, Customer Support, Finance, etc.) to do their job effectively
  • Proactively identify and tackle technical debt becoming too big through planning work and aligning team. Does this with careful evaluation of additional cost on development
What you can expect as a Senior Engineer at Wise:

We don't measure seniority by years of experience, but by your level of impact. As a Senior Software Engineer at Wise, you would be given the license to:
  • Consistently seek out and deliver on product level vision, tasks and problems
  • Actively assist in scoping and executing most impactful work for the team
  • Regularly deliver large features and product improvements that have a meaningful impact on Wise product and customers
  • Embrace long-term ownership of projects while training others to reduce the bus factor or becoming a blocker
  • Architect and design services/systems using design patterns that allow for iterative delivery and future scaling
  • Actively mentor other Engineers in the team on individual basis or in group settings and help them grow through technical guidance, code reviews, documentation, etc.
  • Communicate and collaborate across functions like product, analytics and design as required
  • Lead or significantly contribute to medium to large (8-16 engineering weeks) sized projects

Choose your path to impact - we believe people are most empowered when they can act autonomously. So rather than telling you what to do, you'll work with your team to create a vision of your own. Of course, you can always gather feedback from smart, curious people across Wise but you'll have the freedom to make your own calls

Be flexible in how and where you work, we understand everyone needs a little something different so we'll do our best to make it happen

Travel (when things get back to a new normal) to work with our teams in Asia and Europe as well as meet various partners and organizations when needed

What does it take?:
  • You approach your work with a strong product mindset and passion for user experience, you prioritise work with the customers in mind and make data-driven decisions to fix customer pain-points

  • You know your way around event driven architecture

What the first six months in this role will look like:
  • You'll have onboarded and found your place through understanding your team and tribe vision and how you can contribute
  • Understanding the Wise domain (Fintech) and team specific domain (the problems they're solving form, intricacies of the domains) (50+ eng teams, all have different domain specific topics, they're grouped in tribes e.g. Crime Fighting (Fraud, AML), but they're very different)
  • Understanding tech culture: how we build stuff, specific details on the tech stack (in our autonomous teams, teams do lots of different things and work on different stacks so need to understand details)
  • You'll have deployed / gone through the entire lifecycle of a microservice on your own
  • Gone through two quarterly plannings and proposed a few ideas to take your product further
