Job Description

About the role

With Wise Assets, we’ve enabled customers to grow the money they hold with Wise  - giving them access to government-backed assets that track base rates, or a global stock index fund. This is a product that challenges traditional banking by putting customers in control of how their balance is held. Banks keep the yield; we pass it on.

The approach is unique:

• A current account backed by real assets

• Daily returns across the entire balance

• Instant access with no penalties or lock-ins

• Segregated, bankruptcy-protected custody

Now we’re expanding the offering further. We want to let customers invest in individual stocks, build long-term, tax-beneficial money pots, and manage more of their financial lives directly through Wise.

You will define how this works from the ground up - shaping the product, the technical foundations, and every detail that makes it real.

What do you need?

We are fully aware that it is uncommon for a candidate to have all skills required and we fully support everyone in learning new skills with us. So if you have some of those listed below and are eager to learn more we do want to hear from you!

  • 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

  • Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts to non-technical audiences

  • Ability to work independently while also being a supportive team player. Your work will frequently involve cross-team collaboration.

  • Ability to break down complex projects into incremental milestones that deliver customer value

  • Ability to coordinate complex projects across different teams

  • Experience in developing web applications and distributed systems in a production environment

  • Experience with common design and architectural patterns coupled with a passion for writing clean code that is performant and well tested

  • Curiosity and drive for continuous learning and improvement

  • Following and advocating best coding practices, continuous delivery and code reviews

  • Experience working with relational and non-relational databases, query optimisation and designing schemas is a plus

  • Knowledge of Java and Spring boot and experience with a messaging system, like Kafka, is a plus… but don’t worry we don’t expect you to know everything!
