Senior Software Engineer - Send High Volume

About the Position

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer - Send High Volume to join our team at Wise. This role is focused on backend development and AI-first solutions for international money transfers.

Responsibilities

• Leading the technical design of large projects: Breaking ambiguous problems down into milestones, writing and reviewing RFCs, and making technical decisions around the solutions we build.
• Building the hardest parts yourself: Designing reliable, secure, and API-first solutions with clean, well-documented interfaces within our existing micro-services architecture using Java/Spring, Kafka, and relational databases.
• Owning what we run in production: Being accountable for the availability, reliability, and security of the team's systems. This includes setting the bar for observability and testing, being part of the on-call rota, leading incident response and post-mortems, and paying down tech debt before it turns into risk.
• Multiplying the team: Mentoring and coaching engineers, onboarding new joiners, spreading knowledge so nobody (including you) is a single point of failure, and interviewing regularly to keep raising our hiring bar.
• Shaping the roadmap: Giving strong, product-minded feedback on the roadmap and working closely with product, design, analytics, and operations, so we're always working on the most impactful thing and delivering at a predictable pace.

Requirements

• Expert backend engineer with strong distributed-systems fundamentals: You design for the long term, using patterns that are easy to iterate on and scale. You can reason clearly about consistency, idempotency, and failure modes when real money is on the line.
• Significant contribution to large, impactful projects: You've owned the technical design and deliverables of your part, broken ambiguous work into milestones, and stayed accountable through launch, iteration, and the long tail afterwards.
• Think like a product engineer: You can always explain what customer problem you're solving, why it's worth doing now, and what impact you expect. You give strong feedback on the product roadmap, and you use data to make decisions, not to justify ones you've already made.
• Make the engineers around you better: You do it through mentoring, thoughtful code review, and writing things down. You're comfortable challenging other people's ideas and having yours challenged, without ego, and you're happy to interview candidates regularly.
• Own what you ship: Observability, security, testing, and on-call are part of your definition of done. You've taken a leading role in resolving incidents and in making sure they don't happen again.
• Work well across teams and functions: You communicate clearly with product, design, analytics, and operations, and you look for ways to keep teams moving in the same direction instead of duplicating work.
• Operate at the frontier of tech: You keep yourself up to date, experiment regularly with new tools, and already use AI as a multiplier for your own productivity.

Nice to Have

• Experience in payments, FX, fintech, or another regulated, compliance-heavy domain
• Frontend or mobile experience
• Experience shipping LLM-backed features to production

We Offer

• Compensation: €69,000 to €85,000 + RSUs
• Benefits: What we offer
• Process: Application and interview process
