Remote job description

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 13 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.
  • And, we need a Java Developer to join our mission and help us build a global platform that's scalable, reliable and secure. We're working on lots of algorithmical challenges, and you'll dive right into projects on reconciliation, integrations, authorisations and authentications.
  • The team you'll be working with: Payment Processing Platform
  • Payment Processing Platform is located right in the heart of Wise payment processing system.

Every single transfer executed at wise is processed by services built by this team. Every month, we move billions for our customers. Which is possible because of millions of instant operations daily that are executed by our system under the hood. Wise is growing 40% every year.

The main goal of the team is to make such growth possible by providing reliable and scalable services that can be used by all the other product teams in the company.

Your mission is to Design and build fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable systems. Optimize operations and extend our platform for new use cases. Model and implement changes to our payment processing system, scaling it to handle 10x the current volume.

  • Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts to non-technical audience
  • Ability to work independently while also being a good team player. Your work will frequently involve cross-team collaboration.
  • Experience working with highly loaded relational databases, query optimisation and designing schemas
  • You believe that testing is the easiest way to avoid mistakes in production code
  • Knowledge of Java and Spring boot and experience with a messaging system, like Kafka, is a plus
  • Experience in developing web applications and distributed systems in a production environment
  • Experience with event-driven architecture and concurrent algorithms
  • Be proactive in learning new stacks and have a high sense of taking ownership
  • ...but don't worry we don't expect you to know everything!

What does success look like?

  • You'll have onboarded and found your place through understanding your team and tribe vision and how you can contribute
  • You'll understand how our values can help you guide your work
  • You'll understand the reasons behind problematic payments and customer difficulties and how to go about solving them
  • You'll be raising the automation level to enable scaling of the product
  • Understand our customers and the impact our product makes in their lives
  • You'll help us scale-up and build a world class money transfer product by finding solutions to our technical challenges and opportunities

  • Also, qualifications aren't that important to us. If you've got great experience, and you're great at articulating your thinking, we'd like to hear from you.
  • And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we'd especially love to hear from you if you're from an under-represented demographic.
