Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money.
Min fees. Max ease. Full speed.

The team is integral to Wise’s day-to-day operations — if our services go down, Wise goes down.

How we work

We work in an agile fashion, with engineers closely collaborating with designers, the product manager, and the analyst. The team operates across our Tallinn and London offices.

You will be part of an autonomous team, driving the technical vision for the backend solution powering the recipient’s user experience. You will help us scale-up and build a world class recipient management product.
