Job Description

Wise is one the fastest growing companies in Europe and we’re on a mission: to make money without borders the new normal. We’ve got over 16 million customers across the globe and we’re growing. Fast.

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.

Qualifications

About you:

  • Join an innovative team driving cutting-edge solutions in detection engineering, threat hunting, incident response, and threat intelligence to build a world-class SOC.
  • Dive into large-scale distributed systems and bring your expertise in Windows, MacOS, or Linux to the forefront.
  • Leverage your skills with Elastic, EDR, SIEM, WAF, and cloud infrastructure to tackle exciting challenges and own your projects.

  • Collaborate with a dynamic team, bringing people together to solve complex problems and drive impactful solutions.
  • Thrive in an environment of open feedback and continuous improvement.
  • Be ready to jump into on-call rotations, ensuring our systems are secure and resilient around the clock.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Python, Go, asynchronous message queues, and microservices architecture.
  • Skills in designing, deploying, and maintaining clean RESTful APIs.
  • Knowledge of regulatory compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS).
