More about our mission and what we offer .

At Wise, we're not just developing a product; we're redefining the financial landscape. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will be at the heart of this transformation, entrusted with complex, critical tasks that extend across the breadth of our technological endeavours. Why This Role Matters: You will be joining our Compute team, a core component of our technological fabric. This team's mission is critical: to establish a robust, scalable platform that enables our engineers across the globe to deploy and manage services efficiently.

Our platform is designed to handle immense scale and complexity, ensuring that millions of users experience seamless financial transactions. Your work will be pivotal in evolving this platform to new heights, leveraging advanced technologies and methodologies.

- Architect and Enhance Our Platform: You will take ownership of significant system components, designing and implementing scalable solutions that handle complex operational loads with high reliability and security.

- Drive Automation and Efficiency: Innovate and implement cutting-edge automation solutions at both the infrastructure (AWS) and application levels, reducing manual overhead, accelerating deployment cycles, and increasing system resilience.

- Holistic System Outlook: Assess the ecosystem as a whole to identify technological and systemic improvements. Your strategic oversight will help in preemptively addressing potential scalability and reliability issues before they impact our services.

- Active Collaboration and Leadership: While you will be deeply involved in hands-on technical work, your role also entails leading projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams to share knowledge, mentor peers, and refine our engineering practices.

- Embrace and Extend Cloud-Native Practices: With ongoing investments in AWS and Kubernetes, you will have the opportunity to lead initiatives that expand our capabilities in the cloud-native landscape, from developing Kubernetes operators to enhancing our service mesh infrastructure.

Impact: Your contributions will directly impact the ease with which millions of our customers manage their money across borders. The solutions you develop and the efficiencies you create will play a crucial role in sustaining and accelerating Wise’s growth, ensuring that our infrastructure is a step ahead of our customer's needs and global market demands. Challenges and Opportunities: This role is designed for those who thrive in environments where the pace is fast, the landscape is continually evolving, and the stakes are high.

You will tackle complex problems that require a blend of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and practical execution. The diversity of challenges will offer continuous learning opportunities, sharpening your skills and deepening your expertise in a dynamic, supportive environment.

Additional Information For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive. We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.

Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
