Job DescriptionThe 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
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:
Wise is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunity in our employment practices.
