Job Description

APAC customers are a strong contributor to the Wise's growth. India plays a crucial part of it. A big part of this growth comes from new customer acquisitions, so having a fast, convenient and delightful customer onboarding journey and money movement are central to this growth. That’s the mission of the India Product team, and we’re looking for people who can make this happen. If this sounds like an exciting challenge, we’d love to hear from you!

Here’s how you’ll be contributing to the team:

  • Develop robust systems to seamlessly onboard customers without delays, while being compliant to local regulations. 

  • Consistently work towards technical excellence of the team. 

  • Lead large scale projects that require heavy collaboration with teams across Wise, globally, that have impact beyond the team.

  • Develop scalable money movement systems that bring speed and convenience of domestic payment processing to cross border payments.

  • Build and maintain automations and tooling to process customer payments and data in a scalable and cost-efficient way.

  • Utilise the observability stack and analytics to identify gaps, and unlock new opportunities for growth and operational excellence.

  • Collaborate with various stakeholders throughout Wise, plan and contribute to the product and technical roadmaps of your team

A bit about you:

  • You provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level developers

  • You have front end experience with one of JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, or other

  • You are familiar with Continuous Integration and deployment frameworks 

…but don’t worry we don’t expect you to know everything!

Additional Information

Some extra skills and experiences that would be great:

  • You have experience with financial systems including how payments and digital onboarding flows work.

  • You have experience in technical leadership - maintain technical excellence of your team, managing performance, giving feedback, and coaching engineers to thrive.

What you can expect as an Engineer at Wise:

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
