As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money. For everyone, everywhere.
More about our mission.
Wise is one the fastest growing companies in Europe and we’re on a mission: to make money without borders the new normal. We’ve got 16 million customers across the globe and we’re growing. Fast.
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.

About the role

How we work
We operate on a strong belief in automation, programmatic implementation, and reusable design.

As we grow, our service architecture gets more complex . We need an observability product that can scale with our growth to ensure teams have visibility into our systems at all times. We’re looking for a lead with relevant experience who can analyse complex requirements and deliver simple solutions to help our teams achieve our mission with speed and confidence.
