Job Description
About the role
We are looking for a talented Engineering Lead to join our Organic Growth team.
Organic Growth is responsible for building products that will make customer acquisition eventually free. We do that by building systems that allow us to build a large number of SEO-optimised pages at scale, while making sure that the quality of these pages stays high. This is accomplished through maintaining and improving internal content management systems, as well as through integration with 3rd party data providers.
Our team helps tell Wise’s story to more than 30 million visitors a month - and as the lead of the team, you’ll drive how to reach and convince an even wider audience in a scalable and effective way.
As the team’s work is more often on frontend than backend, we’re looking for a lead who has web frontend expertise - though experience across both sides of the stack is preferred.
As an Engineering Lead, you will:
-
Collaborate with product, design, SEO and other teams across the company to deliver impactful outcomes as a team,
-
Be responsible for the overall health and productivity of the engineers within your team - and help them grow to be their best selves,
-
Own the availability and scalability of our logged-out marketing pages, and how we build them going forward,
-
Provide feedback on technical design decisions and approach, and help the team make data-driven decisions,
-
Have an overview of what’s happening within the broader Onboarding space, and thinking about engineering as a whole,
-
Understand the teams’ systems deeply enough to be hands on, when needed.
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!
-
Track record of leading, coaching and mentoring driven and high performing teams
-
A strong product mindset and passion for UX – you prioritise work with 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
-
Experience building and designing scalable and performant systems that handle large amounts of traffic - ideally using React based frontend applications, Javascript / Typescript
-
Ability to break down complex projects into incremental milestones that deliver customer value
-
Familiarity working with Content Management Systems, and concepts such as headless CMS,
-
Knowledge of Java, Spring Boot backend technologies, event-driven microservices architectures, Domain Driven Design

What We Do
We’re making a positive, irreversible change in the world of finance. Together.
People on every continent around the world are choosing Wise to help them live, travel and work internationally. We’re the fairest, easiest way to send money overseas.
Built by and for people who live global lives, we make sending money abroad up to 8 times cheaper than the bank. This is money without borders - instant, convenient, transparent and eventually free.
For our customers, using Wise is as simple as sending money from A to B, but behind our app and website is a complex engine of currencies and routes, that’s being designed, built and powered by our talented teams in cities around the world.
We’re just at the beginning of our story and we’re growing at an incredible pace. We won’t stop until anyone, anywhere can send, spend and receive money wherever they are, whatever they’re doing. There’s still heaps to do and we can’t do it alone.
Why Work With Us
We are a mission-driven company, looking to change banking for the better. 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. If you're looking for an autonomous work environment, where you'll face cool challenges, learn and grow, you'll like working at Wise
