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.
Therefore, we are building a new one.
For our customers, using Wise should feel as simple as sending a text message. Yet behind our app and website lies a complex, one-of-a-kind engine of currencies and routes that’s being designed, built and powered by our talented teams in cities around the world. With new capabilities being built every day, there’s still a lot to figure out, and we can’t do it alone.
So, we need a Software Engineer to join our mission and help us build a global platform that’s scalable, reliable and secure. You’ll dive right into projects on authorisation and authentication, as well as security tooling and automated controls.
Here’s how you’ll be contributing to the Engineering Team:
- Working closely with product and platform engineers and finding new ways to protect our customer data and funds
- Make embedding security easier for product teams by providing ready-to-use security features (e.g. automated controls, security libraries and services that help maintain confidentiality, availability and integrity)
- Designing and building new approaches to improving the overall security posture of Wise
Is this you?
- Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, security concepts to other audiences
- Readiness to move fast and adapt quickly to change
- Experience with a microservice architecture
- Solid Java 8 plus knowledge
- You believe in and follow best coding practices, code reviews and open feedback
- You are security-conscious, security-literate and security-driven
Some extra skills that would be great:
- Experience working with relational and non-relational databases
- Experience working with streaming platforms and event driven architecture
- Experience dealing with security audits and threat modelling
- Experience with Spring Framework, JavaScript, Typescript and React
What you get back:
- The ability to choose your own path to success – you’ll have the freedom to define the vision
- The freedom to have real impact
- The opportunity to inspire teams
- A fun work environment with social activities and events
