Job Description

About the role

Team you’ll be working in: Hold

The Hold team is part of the Global Product tribe. The team has a dual nature - on one side, we are a product team - we work end to end on customer-facing features, such as sharing accounts for multiple people, converting money from currency to currency, and adding money to accounts; on the other side - we own and evolve the main ledger of Wise Account - processing millions of transactions per day and powering Card spending, Direct Debits, and other products.

What will you be working on?

1. Mission-critical components of Wise Account, their scalability and public APIs
2. Product surfaces that customers interact with on a daily basis - currencies, money movements, etc.
3. Recently launched Group Spending product - our take on classical Joint Accounts.

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!

1. A strong product mindset and passion for user experience; you prioritise work with the customers in mind and make data-driven decisions to fix customer pain points.
2. Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
3. Leading and inspiring your team of engineers to build the right things, in the right way.
4. Ability to deliver work across multiple teams, coordinating your efforts across the organisation. Your work will frequently involve cross-team collaboration.
5. Ability to break down complex projects into incremental milestones that deliver customer value.
6. Experience in developing web applications and distributed systems in a production environment.
7. Experience working with relational databases, query optimisation, and designing schemas is a plus.
8. Knowledge of Java and Spring Boot and experience with a messaging system, like Kafka, is a plus.
