Job description

Engineering Lead - Investments & Savings

• Full-time
• Compensation: GBP 100,000 - GBP 125,000 - yearly

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.

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. We are looking for x2 Engineering Managers to look after Investments and/or Savings.

The approach is unique:

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

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. As well as playing a key role in pushing Wise Assets proposition further by adding new types of assets supported on the platform—balancing risk and yield—so customers could choose what works best for them; you will also be pushing tax‑efficient wrappers for our Wise Account.

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

What you’ll do

• Partner with a Product Manager and a cross‑functional team to shape the roadmap, set the technical and product vision, and ensure we deliver scalable, resilient solutions.
• Lead, coach, and mentor a talented group of engineers — helping them grow, removing blockers, and enabling them to do their best work.
• Ensure strong execution: clear planning, realistic commitments, and healthy team operations.
• Stay close to the tech and the product — setting high standards for engineering quality and leading by example.
• Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Work with other engineering leads across Wise to keep the team aligned with our wider technical strategy and long‑term architecture.
• Own hiring, development, and long‑term impact of your team.

For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. 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.
