Job DescriptionWe are the Finance Data Assurance team, the team that powers Wise’s financial controls on the ledger. The integrity of our financial data is paramount, as it powers crucial functions like data governance, business intelligence, and compliance services.
The mission of our Finance Data Assurance team is to ensure Wise's financial data is accurate and trustworthy. We achieve this by building an intelligent, automated, and scalable platform for its management and resolution.
Our vision is a future where:
- Financial data issues are prevented or automatically resolved before they have any impact.
- Our Operations teams are fully self-sufficient with the tools we build.
- Engineers are freed from manual intervention to focus solely on innovation.
Most recently, we’ve been evolving the infrastructure that enables our teams to tackle financial transaction issues and resolve them in a timely manner. We’re looking for someone who can think holistically about our financial ecosystem and deliver novel solutions that enable intelligent automation and proactive issue detection.
Our engineering culture is built on a foundation of automation, programmatic implementation, and reusable design. We thrive on tackling ambiguous requirements and have a genuine passion for understanding complex financial flows. As part of our high-performing team, you will drive the evolution of our infrastructure and ensure our key performance metrics are constantly improving. We're looking for an engineer who can transform complex requirements into simple, elegant solutions that help our teams achieve our mission with speed and confidence.
As a Senior Engineer, you will take the lead on solving complex technical problems and guide the team toward comprehensive, scalable solutions. You will:
- Design and Deliver: Architect, build, and maintain low-latency, distributed applications using Java, Spring, and Kafka that form the backbone of our issue discovery and resolution platform.
- Lead Projects: Take ownership of key projects, driving the implementation of our technical roadmap in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- Mentor and Guide: Coach and mentor other engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and knowledge sharing through code reviews and design discussions.
- Own Your Systems: Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve issues within our high-throughput production environment, ensuring the reliability of critical financial applications.
- Collaborate and Influence: Work closely with product managers, operations teams, and other engineers to articulate complex technical concepts and align on strategic goals.
