Job DescriptionThe team you’ll be working with: Mitigation Requirements
At Wise, we’re on a mission to make financial services faster, simpler, and more accessible for everyone. To achieve our mission, we also need to safeguard our platform against financial crime and ensure our customers’ money are safe. The Mitigation Requirements team plays a critical role in this by providing a highly scalable system to orchestrate which information we need to request from our customers, and then have automations and Servicing Agents to review it.
We are developing the infrastructure that provides teams at Wise with insights into the operational cost and risk associated with their ownership of the Wise product. This empowers them to enhance the product, reducing Wise's cost for customers and enabling a smoother experience when additional information is required from them. The infrastructure also enables automation of Servicing processes through a rich API in a distributed environment, and it is the core connection between customers and our Servicing agents.
What Does Our Team Look Like?
We’re a backend focused team, focused on high quality, scalable distributed systems. To deliver impact faster, we engage with other teams at Wise, so we deliver a platform with the right complexity and adaptability that gets more impactful for Wise on every release. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We value ownership, knowledge sharing, and a commitment to building stable, scalable systems while embracing fast-paced learning and iteration.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, enjoys taking ownership of projects, and is passionate about delivering scalable systems with great APIs. You'll also play a key role in cross-team collaboration, essential for building and growing our platform for other Wise teams. This includes documenting at the appropriate abstraction level to scale the adoption of our developments. We're looking for a proactive individual with a strong foundation in backend technologies, a passion for writing clean and efficient code, and a desire to learn and grow within a supportive environment.
