Job Description

About the role 

We are looking for a Platform Engineer with passion and experience in cloud infrastructure, especially in GCP.

Our team is responsible for building and maintaining the services that help ensure Wise’s cloud infrastructure meets all the necessary requirements for a growing fintech business. To this end you will be working with us to develop tooling and provide hands-on technical expertise to design, deploy, and optimise our services in a compliant and cost-effective way on multiple major cloud providers.

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 platform tribe.

As we grow, managing our cloud platform becomes increasingly complex at scale. We need to sustain this growth by continuously iterating on the services we run, with a focus on availability, security, and ease of use. We’re looking for an engineer with relevant experience who can analyse complex requirements and deliver simple solutions to help our teams achieve our mission with speed and confidence. 

What will you be working on?

  • Build, maintain, and support Wise’s cloud platform within GCP.

  • Design and implement scalable and secure cloud infrastructure solutions and migration approaches that enable business objectives.

  • Provide domain expertise in cloud platforms; create and deliver best practice recommendations. 

  • Supporting incidents, escalation and troubleshooting activities.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand project requirements and deliver effective outcomes.

 

What do you need?

We are fully aware that it is uncommon for a candidate to have all skills required and we fully support everyone in learning new skills with us. So if you have some of those listed below and are eager to learn more we do want to hear from you!

  • Experience designing, building, and deploying scalable cloud-based solution architectures, preferably on GCP and/or AWS.

  • Experience with IaC and automating infrastructure provisioning, developer operations, or continuous integration/deployment.

  • Proficient in at least one programming language such as Golang, Java, or Python. Experience in other programming languages are welcome too.

  • Proficient in written and verbal communication skills with the ability to articulate concepts to users and stakeholders, as well as facilitate cross-team collaboration. 

 

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with one or more observability platforms.

  • Experience with containers and container orchestration.

  • Familiarity with common networking technologies.

  • Familiarity with standard IT security practices (e.g., encryption, certificates, key management).

  • Knowledge of authentication protocols.

  • Knowledge of the financial services industry and/or other regulated industries.
