For everyone, everywhere.

More about our mission and what we offer.

Job Description

This role is a unique opportunity to have a massive impact on Wise's mission, and build the engine that powers the revolution, Money without Borders.

Your mission: 

Your mission is to scale the backend financial engines at Wise during a pivotal growth phase following our recent US listing on NASDAQ. You will lead critical work within our Accounting Infrastructure team - which is responsible for the financial truth at Wise.. 

Your impact: 

Your mandate is to maintain the core General Ledger databases, backend processing microservices, and financial infrastructure that act as the source of truth for Wise. You will ensure the availability, technical integrity, and control environment of our ledger infrastructure. This role focuses strictly on the backend ledger systems and internal financial services. 

  •  The Scale: You will manage ledger infrastructure that ingests over 1bn+ journal entries per month and oversee the process that turns these into financial reports.  

  • System Boundaries: You own the technical health and data integrity controls of the core General Ledger databases and company ERP platforms. 

  • Downstream Trust: The controls you build directly impact the data accuracy of downstream reporting lakes, tax systems, and corporate consolidation tools. 

Example of questions that you will answer in your role are -

  1. How do you design reliable tracking systems and workflows so we never lose track of money or make unapproved/unanticipated changes to our financial data?  

  2. How do you build secure software tools and APIs so that our team members can post financial records safely with minimal risk of errors?  

  3. How do you structure our databases so they can automatically generate separate, correct financial reports for different regional accounting standards at the same time? 

You will define and execute the product strategy to achieve real-time reconciliation and assurance at global scale, providing functional finance teams with systems they need to operate effectively, compliantly, and efficiently in 50+ countries.

You are joining the Finance Product team at a pivotal, hyper-growth stage as Wise has recently listed in the US. The Finance team is strategically expanding its footprint to raise the bar on global regulatory maturity and provide a robust financial foundation for Wise’s sustained, rapid growth. This expansion is directly driven by the need to proactively mature our global financial controls and infrastructure to meet the highest standards required of a US-listed, global financial technology company.

    • Showcases system-level thinking, a proven ability to look beyond the scope of a single product to design interconnected systems

Nice-to-haves: 

  • Finance, Payments or Treasury experience particularly in Ledgers, Controls or Accounting
