More about our mission.

Job Description

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Lead to join our API Experience team. You’ll lead and manage a team of engineers building the tooling and infrastructure that enables partners to securely integrate with Wise's API. This is a unique opportunity to shape the developer experience for major enterprise partners, directly impacting their success and accelerating Wise’s time to revenue.

You will guide your team to deliver a world-class developer experience built on three guiding principles:

  • Secure: Champion robust security measures like mTLS and JOSE to protect partner data and meet the stringent security requirements of banks and financial institutions.

  • Well-Tooled: Own the development of our self-service developer portal, streamlining processes for credential management and API monitoring.

  • Testable: Enhance our Sandbox environment to accurately mirror production, giving partners ultimate confidence before going live.

Qualifications

A bit about you:

  • Product-Led Mindset: You don’t just build features; you build solutions. You have a deep empathy for the user and a track record of shipping successful customer-facing products.

  • Technical Authority: You are an expert in Java (or similar modern stacks) and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty in the code.

  • Architect of Scale: You’ve "been there, done that" with distributed systems and microservices. You know how to build for high scalability and long-term reliability.

  • Multiplier of Talent: You find genuine joy in mentoring. You have a proven ability to lead small teams, fostering an environment where engineers grow and succeed.

  • Bridge Builder: You translate "tech-speak" into plain English. Whether you’re whiteboarding with a designer or presenting to a Product Manager, you communicate with clarity and purpose.
