More about our mission and what we offer.
Job DescriptionPeople should be able to pay anything, anywhere, with Wise.
Send Convenience is building the experience that makes that possible. From sending money home to paying rent, utilities, and taxes, we’re making Wise the account people can rely on for everyday life across borders.
As an Engineering Lead, you’ll lead the team improving how 15M+ customers send money, and opening up new ways for them to pay. Every unnecessary step we remove and every confusing choice we fix makes a difference at that scale.
You’ll own the technical vision and the roadmap with Product and Design: deciding which customer problems matter most, what we build, and how we get it into customers’ hands. You’ll give engineers the context, support, and honest feedback to do their best work.
How we work:
You’ll lead a full-stack team of seven engineers: four backend, one iOS, one Android, and one web. The team works across Tallinn and London, bringing engineering, product, design, and research together from the start of an idea.
What will you be working on?:
Make everyday sending easier. Lead improvements to the send flow and better ways to pay bills, turning different local payment methods into experiences that feel familiar.
Own the roadmap. Work with Product and Design to understand customer problems, test ideas, choose priorities, and measure what changes after launch.
Set the technical direction. Guide decisions across backend, mobile, and web,, balancing useful releases with long-term reliability, security, and maintainability.
Build a strong team. Coach engineers, support their growth, manage performance, and hire well. Create room for engineers to challenge ideas and own decisions.
Take responsibility for what we ship. Keep delivery focused, work through dependencies, and own the reliability, availability, and security of the team’s systems. Make sure incidents have clear ownership and lead to improvements.
What do you need?:
You’ve built and operated customer-facing products at scale. You can explain the technical decisions, the customer experience, and the outcomes you were responsible for.
You’ve managed and developed engineers. You can show how your coaching, feedback, and performance decisions helped people and the team improve.
You’ve shaped a product roadmap with Product and Design. You use customer feedback and data to decide what matters, make trade-offs, and change direction when the evidence calls for it.
You bring depth in a product engineering discipline and strong judgement across client and backend systems. You stay close enough to the technology to challenge designs and guide complex decisions.
You notice when a customer journey feels wrong and take the initiative to improve it. You communicate clearly, work through disagreement, and help people make progress through ambiguity.
Your background can be in mobile, web, or backend engineering.
Nice to Have:
Experience with payments or international products.
Experience leading teams working across locations.
Fintech experience is not required.

Wise Offices
Hybrid Workspace
Employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.
We expect new joiners in the office most days to build connections and learn from colleagues for their first six months. After that, most Wisers split their working week between the office and home, typically coming in at least 12 times a month.
