As a Backend Engineer, you’ll be instrumental in building and maintaining robust and scalable backend systems. You’ll independently tackle significant development tasks, contribute to project delivery, and collaborate closely with the team on feature implementation and issue resolution. You’ll also play a key role in cross-team collaboration, essential for building and growing our platform for other Wise teams. This includes documenting at the appropriate abstraction level to scale the adoption of our developments. We’re looking for a proactive individual with a strong foundation in backend technologies, a passion for writing clean and efficient code, and a desire to learn and grow within a supportive environment.

• A track record of writing clean, maintainable code and a strong belief in best practices like code reviews, open feedback, and continuous improvement.
• Familiarity with backend development, including databases (SQL/NoSQL), synchronous/asynchronous communication, and distributed systems.
• Experience with web development technologies such as REST APIs, microservices, and CI/CD pipelines.
• The ability to design technical solutions that balance latency, throughput, adaptability and scalability.
• A passion for learning new technologies, tools, and patterns to solve problems effectively.
