Job Description

Wise Assets is one of the fastest-growing features today, with Stocks and Interest live in the UK, EU, Singapore, Australia, Brazil and expanding further. Our customers now already earn £50m a month from their money held across the currencies on Wise. Holding money with a bank is non-transparent and unfair. It is non-transparent because you don’t know what the bank is doing with your money, who they are lending it to, and how much they are making from it. It is unfair because they provide you with free services, which you don’t know how much they cost to provide, and give you almost zero return for holding your money with them. Unfortunately, as interest rates have increased around the world, this problem is getting worse as banks pocket a greater share of this income.

The Wise Account is our antidote to holding money in a bank. With our Assets product, we enable our customers to decide how they want to hold their money. They can choose what it is invested in and what return it makes. We then charge a fair and transparent fee before returning the rest to them. It’s simple; it is our customers' money, so they should benefit from the return it generates.

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!

  • Proven experience in building and deploying an application that delights customers

  • Strong proficiency in Kotlin

  • Familiarity with modern app architectures like Unidirectional Data Flow, Dependency Injection, Structured Concurrency with Kotlin Coroutines, amongst others

  • Desire to write testable code

  • Understanding of REST API design

  • Strong product mindset and passion for user experience, with a focus on prioritising work that addresses user needs and making data-driven decisions.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

  • Ability to collaborate effectively within a team, as well as independently and proactively solve problems. 

Nice to Have:

  • Any experience with declarative UI (Compose), Gradle, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) would be great!

…but don’t worry we don’t expect you to know everything!
