Improve the availability and scalability of our recommendation engine, and how we can create a flexible system marketing teams can use for easy experimentation,

Help shape the team’s roadmap and delivery, break down projects into incremental milestones, provide feedback on technical design decisions and approach

Wise Offices
Hybrid Workspace
Employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.
We expect new joiners in the office most days to build connections and learn from colleagues for their first six months. After that, most Wisers split their working week between the office and home, typically coming in at least 12 times a month.
