Senior Software Engineer I - Investments - Java

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.

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
• Segregated, bankruptcy-protected custody

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.

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!
