Job Description

Wise, one of the world's fastest-growing companies, is on a mission to redefine global finance by making money without borders the new norm.

Current banking systems present challenges in seamlessly sending, spending, and receiving money across borders. At Wise, we are crafting a new financial infrastructure to address these limitations.

• You'll lead, coach and grow a team, as well as shape the technical vision.

• You’ll own payment flows and improve different payment methods.

• You’ll scale a best in class product across Brazil while ensuring the learnings you have in-market are shared back with our other global regions.

• As an engineering lead, you will be responsible for the quality of your team’s technical solutions, including code quality, architecture applicability, performance, reliability and adherence to company-wide engineering standards.

• As a people manager, you will be responsible for your team's productivity, goal setting, career path identification, mentoring and supporting people in your team.

• You’re enabling your team to solve complex problems by breaking them down into small iterative steps of incremental value

• You’ve built and designed scalable and performing systems

• You have experience building integrations with external partners

• You have experience with microservices architecture, asynchronous message queues and SQL databases

• You are still hands on with coding, and enjoy getting your hands dirty

Nice to have:

• Experience with financial systems integrations

What does success look like? 

• You’ll have found your place in our mission by understanding how to drive engineering solutions and look to future challenges

• You’ll understand our customers and the impact our product has on their lives
