Backend Engineer - Send Core

• Join the Send Core team, which provides the critical infrastructure every sending transaction flows through. • Support everything from £10 sent to a friend to a multi-million dollar business payment. • Work on a mission to make sending money as easy and fast as paying for groceries with a card. • Keep the core infrastructure in good shape while also building customer-facing products that power the send journey. • Work somewhere an engineer is treated as more than a coder, focused on improving customer experience and seeing that impact on millions of people daily. • Collaborate closely with passionate people across the business to move the mission forward. • Apply even if you lack experience in the stack or have been away from frontend for a while, as strong fundamentals and willingness to learn matter more. • Work from London on a hybrid basis.

• Bring strong computer science fundamentals. • Bring strong knowledge of the modern tech stack and design concepts. • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly and simply. • Focus on solving real customer problems with every change you make. • Understand why the team is building what it is building. • Think in product terms rather than only at the code level. • Stay passionate about learning and growing. • Get things done yourself rather than waiting to be told what to do. • Stay curious about ways to improve both the products and your own day-to-day work.

• Bring experience of Wise’s stack, though the team is happy for you to learn it on the job. • Bring recent frontend experience alongside your backend work. • Know payments, fintech, or high-volume transaction systems. • Bring experience of owning critical infrastructure that other teams depend on. • Enjoy collaborating directly with product, design, and data rather than working to a spec.

• Collaborate with product, design, and data teams to deliver the best experience for customers. • Own the systems every sending transaction depends on across the entire platform. • Make architectural decisions for the core send components, keeping them reliable and performant. • Build customer-facing products that power the customer send journey. • Keep the core infrastructure healthy alongside new product work.
