More about our mission and what we offer.
Job DescriptionWe are looking for a Software Engineer with a strong product and engineering mindset to join our Treasury FX Risk team.
Our team calculates FX risk from trading foreign exchange to meet Wise's liquidity needs. We manage mission critical services that provide accurate real-time risk calculations and aggregate market data from platforms like Bloomberg and Reuters. Collaborating with Data Science, we also ensure risks are hedged accurately and dynamically. Our systems offer a real-time view of Wise’s global financial positions, translating transactions into actual and forecasted money movements. Trading teams rely on our data to manage FX exposure and execute trades worth tens to hundreds of millions of pounds, making reliability and scalability our top priorities.
How we work
We operate on a strong belief in automation, programmatic implementation, and reusable design. We’re looking for people who can step back and think holistically about the ecosystem, but also follow through and help implement the design; drawing on the resources across the rest of the treasury tribe.
As we grow, sustaining our trajectory requires ongoing refinement and iteration of our services with a focus on availability, security, and user experience. We need a seasoned engineer who can dissect complex requirements and create elegant, impactful solutions, empowering our teams to advance our mission with agility and confidence.
What will you be working on?
You will be working on initiatives to ensure that our services continue to provide accurate and timely data as the company scales.
Improving the scalability and reliability of our exchange rates infrastructure
Designing and implementing real time data streaming flows to enable real time monitoring of metrics related to financial risks
Tackle challenges related to processing large data volumes, addressing performance bottlenecks, and implementing fault-tolerant solutions.
Gain in-depth expertise in the finance and treasury domains, contributing to the management of Wise's financial infrastructure.
Collaborate deeply with Operations, Analytics, Trading, and Product teams to align technical and business objectives.
What do you need?
We acknowledge that engineers continuously evolve their skillsets, and we are committed to supporting your growth. However, we are looking for candidates who can bring these core skills to the table:
You have 5+ years of Java 8+ knowledge, recent experience with Spring framework
Extensive experience and proven track record in software engineering, ideally with a focus on financial systems or markets (not hard requirement)
Exceptional product mindset, able to balance customer-centric and data-driven approaches
Expertise in messaging systems such as Kafka
Experience with both relational and non-relational database design
Commitment to continuous improvement and knowledge sharing
Advocating for best practices in code quality, continuous delivery, and robust code reviews

What the Team is Saying
What We Do
We’re making a positive, irreversible change in the world of finance. Together.
People on every continent around the world are choosing Wise to help them live, travel and work internationally. We’re the fairest, easiest way to send money overseas.
Built by and for people who live global lives, we make sending money abroad up to 8 times cheaper than the bank. This is money without borders - instant, convenient, transparent and eventually free.
For our customers, using Wise is as simple as sending money from A to B, but behind our app and website is a complex engine of currencies and routes, that’s being designed, built and powered by our talented teams in cities around the world.
We’re just at the beginning of our story and we’re growing at an incredible pace. We won’t stop until anyone, anywhere can send, spend and receive money wherever they are, whatever they’re doing. There’s still heaps to do and we can’t do it alone.
Why Work With Us
We are a mission-driven company, looking to change banking for the better. Current banking systems don’t let us send, spend or receive money across borders easily. Or quickly. Or cheaply. So, we’re building a new one. If you're looking for an autonomous work environment, where you'll face cool challenges, learn and grow, you'll like working at Wise
