Job Description
About the role
We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with experience in Java and Javascript/Typescript.
The Trust and Safety team at Wise is dedicated to safeguarding our platform against financial crime and ensuring the protection of our customers. By leveraging cutting-edge machine learning, real-time transaction monitoring, and data analysis, our team of software engineers, data analysts, and data scientists create controls and detection capabilities to protect our customers accounts from unauthorised access and help them avoid falling victim to scams.
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 tribe.
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 a globally scalable fraud prevention and detection engine to maintain Wise as a secure environment for our legitimate customers.
-
Utilise machine learning techniques to identify potential risks associated with customer activity.
-
Foster a strong partnership between our fraud investigators and the product team to develop solutions that leverage the expertise of fraud prevention specialists.
-
Not only meet the requirements set by regulators and auditors but also surpass their expectations.
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!
-
In depth experience using Java or other JVM based language, experience with Spring framework
-

-
A strong product mindset and passion for user experience, you prioritise work with the customers in mind and make data-driven decisions to fix customer pain-points
-
Experience working with relational and non-relational databases, query optimisation and designing schemas
-
Being able to work independently on customer problems is a key to success - you take responsibility and end-to-end ownership of your projects: drive and own them to make sure we hit the goals we want to achieve
-
Close collaboration with product managers, data scientists, data analysts, engineers and other product teams is a must have and is something to expect to happen on a daily basis.

Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts to non-technical audience

What We Do
We’re making a positive, irreversible change in the world of finance. Together.
People on every continent around the world are choosing Wise to help them live, travel and work internationally. We’re the fairest, easiest way to send money overseas.
Built by and for people who live global lives, we make sending money abroad up to 8 times cheaper than the bank. This is money without borders - instant, convenient, transparent and eventually free.
For our customers, using Wise is as simple as sending money from A to B, but behind our app and website is a complex engine of currencies and routes, that’s being designed, built and powered by our talented teams in cities around the world.
We’re just at the beginning of our story and we’re growing at an incredible pace. We won’t stop until anyone, anywhere can send, spend and receive money wherever they are, whatever they’re doing. There’s still heaps to do and we can’t do it alone.
Why Work With Us
We are a mission-driven company, looking to change banking for the better. 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. If you're looking for an autonomous work environment, where you'll face cool challenges, learn and grow, you'll like working at Wise
