Job Description

About the role:

Team you will be working with: Receive Risk

The Receive Risk team is part of the Global Product tribe, dedicated to ensuring customers can receive money quickly and securely. We build smart fraud detection and prevention systems to stop scammers and fraudsters from exploiting Wise or deceiving our customers.

Supporting our full suite of receive products—including local and global account details, payment links, and invoices—we work closely with our financial crime teams to strike the perfect balance: seamless experiences for legitimate users, strong barriers against bad actors.

How we work

Our team is focused on building a great Acquiring experience for our business customers. To achieve this, we prioritise projects using a mix of data and intuition, focus on good execution and learn from our mistakes.

What will you be working on?

We're looking for a Backend Engineer to accelerate feature development for the Acquiring product. You'll quickly understand Wise’s existing feature development pipeline, deliver numerous new features to reduce risk in both current and upcoming products, and collaborate with Data Engineers to enhance our feature development systems and processes.
