Job Description
About the role
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with a passion for all things security.
Our team is Security Engineering. We build custom solutions for managing and monitoring access to Wise’s internal applications. Our goal is to provide efficient, segregated and auditable access to all operational tooling.
How we work
We operate on a strong belief in automation, programmatic implementation, and reusable design. We’re looking for people who can step back and think holistically about the ecosystem, but also follow through and help implement the design; drawing on the resources across the rest of the platform tribe.
As we grow, we also expand on internal tooling in our backoffice. We need to sustain this growth by continuously iterating on the services we run, with a focus on availability, security, and ease of use. We’re looking for an engineer with relevant experience who can analyse complex requirements and deliver simple solutions to help our teams achieve our mission with speed and confidence.
What will you be working on?
-
Working closely with cross-functional experts across the organization and finding new ways to protect our customer data and funds
-
Making access management seamless by providing reliable custom tooling and proactive, easy-to-use solutions
-
Making embedding security easier for product teams by providing ready-to-use security features (e.g. automated controls, security libraries and services that help maintain confidentiality, integrity and availability)
-
Designing and building new approaches to improving the overall security posture of Wise
-
Mentoring junior engineers and helping the team to grow
