Job Description

About the role 

We are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer with a passion for all things security.

Our team is the Security Engineering Team. We build infrastructure and tooling to lay out golden paths for our product engineering teams to follow. At all times we aim to make the inclusion of high quality security practice a seamless process while also ensuring we are at the vanguard of defence for our customer’s data. 

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 platform tribe.

We need to sustain our 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 understand complex requirements and deliver simple solutions to help our teams achieve our mission with speed and confidence. 

What will you be working on?

  • Working closely with product and platform engineers and finding new ways to protect our customer data and funds

  • Make embedding security easier for product teams by providing ready-to-use security features (e.g. automated controls, security libraries and services that help maintain confidentiality, integrity and availability)

  • Designing and building new approaches to improving the overall security posture of Wise


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!

  • Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, security concepts to other audiences

  • Readiness to move fast and adapt quickly to change

  • Experience with a microservice architecture

  • Solid Java plus knowledge

  • You believe in and follow best coding practices, code reviews and open feedback

  • You are security-conscious, security-literate and security-driven

Some extra skills that would be great:

  • Experience working with relational and non-relational databases

  • Experience working with streaming platforms and event driven architecture

  • Experience dealing with security audits and threat modelling

  • Experience with Spring framework, JavaScript, Typescript and React

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
