Job Description
Wise Platform helps banks, software companies, and large enterprises leverage Wise's infrastructure to offer their customers world-class payment products through our API. We're a cross-functional team across sales, account management, product, engineering, compliance, analytics, and many other functions. We're based across the world - from New York to London, to Singapore, and beyond.
We’re looking for a Product Engineer to join our growing API Experience team in London.
The API Experience team is responsible for some of the most critical systems at Wise, the public API gateway and authorization systems used by our own systems and our partners. Our goal is to increase efficiency during integration with our platform by setting the gold-standard for intuitive, consistent, enterprise-ready APIs, and to enable seamless integration of those APIs with developer-friendly tools.
Our challenges
Operational Efficiency and Reliability: Enterprise customers require APIs that are exceptionally reliable and efficient. Banks and financial services handle large volumes of sensitive transactions that must be processed accurately and quickly.
Optimising the development experience for our large corporate partners: A well-designed API that reduces the complexity involved in integration, cutting down development time and costs.
Robust Security and Compliance: Financial grade security measures ensure that our enterprise partners can trust our platform. Compliance with industry regulations and standards also reduces the risk of legal issues.
Scalability and future-proofing: Enterprises like banks and fintech companies have rapidly growing user bases and evolving needs. Our APIs need to be designed to handle increasing loads without performance degradation, ensuring that companies can scale their operations smoothly.
Competitive Advantage: A high-quality API can be a significant competitive differentiator. It enables enterprises to extend their service offerings quickly and efficiently and respond to market changes faster, and integrate new technologies seamlessly.

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
