Remote job description

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 strong Senior Java Developer with experience in microservices and integrations to join our mission and help us build a global platform that's scalable, reliable and secure.

Every month, we move billions for our customers. Your mission is to make sending, spending, and receiving money in the region convenient, instant, and close to free - as well as finding ways to reach the potential customers we're not yet helping. Integrate with local payment rails and work side by side with regional partners to connect Wise and their systems. Optimise operations and extend our platform for new use cases. Model and implement changes to our payment processing scaling it to handle 10x the current volume.

In this role, you'll work together with our Engineers, and own large projects that have a measurable impact on our customers and our mission. You'll work closely with Product, to make sure we're building the right thing. And you'll contribute towards growing the team, and helping us keep our systems running as smoothly as possible.

  • Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts to non-technical audience
  • Experience working with relational and non-relational databases, query optimisation and designing schemas
  • You have experience with good testing practices in a microservices architecture
  • You have solid Java 8 plus or Kotlin knowledge, experience with Spring framework and database abstraction
  • You believe in and follow best coding practices, code reviews and open feedback
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, and previous work with large distributed systems
  • Hands on knowledge of system integration patterns

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
