Software Engineer, Account Discovery

We’re hiring a Backend Engineer to join our Account Discovery team - the primary gateway into Wise.

This team powers the dashboard customers see when they first log in. We turn account activity into clear, fast, reliable summaries and deliver contextual, personalised recommendations that help customers discover new ways to manage their money with Wise.

What you’ll build

• Backend services that generate near real-time account overviews (recent actions, balances, key events) that are easy to understand and trust.
• Recommendation and discovery capabilities that are personalised, context-aware, and measurable.
• APIs and supporting systems that make the dashboard fast, consistent, and available across devices and regions.

You will build the backend behind Wise’s first-screen experience high-scale, low-latency services that stay fast under heavy traffic. Balance real-time freshness with rock-solid correctness, and deliver personalisation at scale that’s genuinely useful.

You’ll also tackle distributed systems complexity (resilience, failures, retries, idempotency), enable experimentation and measurement (A/B testing, instrumentation), and engineer with security, privacy, and compliance baked in from day one.
