Job Description

The Team You’ll Be Working With: Getting Help

At Wise, we’re on a mission to make financial services faster, simpler, and more accessible for everyone. The Getting Help team plays a critical role in this mission by empowering customers to solve their problems quickly and efficiently.  

We’ve built the infrastructure for FAQs, self-service pages, and, most recently, launched a chat platform as a primary support channel. We’re enabling smarter customer interactions, automating solutions, and helping other teams deliver better support experiences through it. In 2025, we’re doubling down on making chat the go-to channel for our customers, and we need your expertise to take it to the next level 🚀.  

 

What Does Our Team Look Like?

We’re a cross-functional team of backend, frontend, iOS, and Android engineers, working hand-in-hand with a Product Manager, Analyst, and Designer. Together, we deliver seamless, impactful solutions across all Wise platforms. 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.  

 

What We Expect From You 

As a Medior Backend Engineer, you'll be instrumental in building and maintaining robust and scalable backend systems. You'll independently tackle significant development tasks, contribute to project delivery, and collaborate closely with the team on feature implementation and issue resolution. 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.

 

Qualifications

Technical Excellence  

- 3+ years of experience with Java or other JVM-based languages, and hands-on experience with the Spring framework.  

- A track record of writing clean, maintainable code and a strong belief in best practices like code reviews, open feedback, and continuous improvement.  

- Familiarity with backend development, including databases (SQL/NoSQL), synchronous/asynchronous communication, and distributed systems.  

- Experience with web development technologies such as REST APIs, microservices, and CI/CD pipelines.  

- The ability to design technical solutions that balance latency, throughput, and scalability.  

- A passion for learning new technologies, tools, and patterns to solve problems effectively.  

 

Product Mindset

- A customer-first approach—you prioritize work that solves real customer pain points and use data to drive decisions.  

- The ability to take ownership of problems, propose solutions, and drive projects end-to-end to deliver measurable impact.  

- A knack for identifying opportunities to deliver value faster and providing constructive feedback on product and design decisions.  

 

Collaboration & Leadership

- Strong communication skills—you can break down complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences and collaborate effectively across teams.  

- A proactive mindset—you take initiative to improve our codebase, architecture, and processes.  

- A passion for mentoring and knowledge sharing—you enjoy helping junior engineers grow and fostering a culture of learning within the team.
