Senior Software Engineer II - Investments - Java

Company Description

Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money.

Min fees. Max ease. Full speed.

Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.

As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.

For everyone, everywhere.

More about our mission and what we offer.

With Wise Assets, we’ve enabled customers to grow the money they hold with Wise - giving them access to government-backed assets that track base rates, or a global stock index fund. This is a product that challenges traditional banking by putting customers in control of how their balance is held. Banks keep the yield; we pass it on.

Now we’re expanding the offering further. We want to let customers invest in individual stocks, build long‑term, tax‑beneficial money pots, and manage more of their financial lives directly through Wise.

You will define how this works from the ground up – shaping the product, the technical foundations, and every detail that makes it real.

• A current account backed by real assets
• Daily returns across the entire balance
• Instant access with no penalties or lock‑ins
• Segregated, bankruptcy‑protected custody

• A strong product mindset and passion for user experience, prioritising work with the customers in mind and making data‑driven decisions to fix customer pain points
• Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts to non‑technical audiences
• Ability to work independently while also being a supportive team player; your work will frequently involve cross‑team collaboration
• Ability to break down complex projects into incremental milestones that deliver customer value
• Ability to coordinate complex projects across different teams
• Experience in developing web applications and distributed systems in a production environment
• Experience with common design and architectural patterns, coupled with a passion for writing clean code that is performant and well tested
• Curiosity and drive for continuous learning and improvement
• Following and advocating best coding practices, continuous delivery and code reviews
• Experience working with relational and non‑relational databases, query optimisation and designing schemas is a plus
• Knowledge of Java and Spring Boot and experience with a messaging system, like Kafka, is a plus (but we don’t expect you to know everything)

• Starting salary: £111,000 - £145,000 + RSUs
• Wise Benefits

We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive. We’re proud to have a truly international team and we celebrate our differences. Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
