Job Description

How you’ll contribute to our team of data scientists:

  • Participate in building industry-proven machine learning based solutions and find opportunities to experiment with state-of-the-art algorithms.

This role will give you the opportunity to:

  • Choose your path to impact. We believe people do great things when they can act autonomously. So, instead of being told what to do, you’ll work with your team to create a vision of your own. You can always gather feedback from smart, curious people across Wise, but you’ll have the freedom to make your own calls

  • Be flexible in how and where you work. We understand everyone needs a little something different - so we’ll do our best to make it happen

  • Understand how Data Science works at Wise and what each team and tribe does. From Marketing,  to Treasury and Fraud teams - there are lots! Don’t worry, we’ll help you get acquainted

  • Understand the tech culture, the detail of the Tech Stack and how we build stuff. We work in autonomous teams, on different stacks so you’ll need to understand the details

  • We’re big on planning. You’ll go through two quarterly plan cycles and get to propose your own ideas to take your product further
