Min fees. Max ease. Full speed.

Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.

As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.

For everyone, everywhere.

More about our mission and what we offer.

At Wise, we’re on a mission to make money borderless, instant, and convenient for millions of people and businesses worldwide. Our engineers are at the heart of this mission, solving complex challenges and building seamless, secure solutions that customers love.

Wise is opening a new office in Hyderabad that will be in the heart of product development of the company. We're looking for an Engineering Lead to join our very first product team in Hyderabad which will be part of Asia & Pacific regional expansion.

APAC customers are a strong contributor to the Wise's growth. India plays a crucial part of it. A big part of this growth comes from new customer acquisitions, so having a fast, convenient and delightful customer onboarding journey and money movement are central to this growth. That’s the mission of the India Product team, and we’re looking for people who can make this happen. If this sounds like an exciting challenge, we’d love to hear from you!

Here’s how you’ll be contributing to the team:

  • Lead the Engineering Team that develops Wise’s products that will be used by Wise’s Customers to service the Indian market.  Disrupt the cross-border industry in India that is hugely dominated by Banks.
  • Design onboarding and money movement solutions tailored to India markets by leveraging local KYC stack and payment ecosystem in India.
  • Lead the development of robust systems to seamlessly onboard customers without delays, while being compliant to local regulations. 
  • Lead the development of scalable money movement systems that bring speed and convenience of domestic payment processing to cross border payments.
  • Be responsible for the team that builds and maintains automations and tooling to process customer payments and data in a scalable and cost-efficient way.
  • Utilise the observability stack and analytics to identify gaps, and unlock new opportunities for growth and operational excellence.
  • Collaborate with various stakeholders throughout Wise, plan roadmaps and vision of India Product with key stakeholders, and work through challenges to determine scope and realistic delivery. 
  • Be responsible for running the engineering rituals of the team to be agile in product development. 
  • Be responsible for the growth and development of engineers in the team through constructive feedback, calibration and performance evaluation process. 

For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders  — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.

We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.

Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
