More about our mission and what we offer.
About the role
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.
What you’ll do
• Partner with a Product Manager and a cross-functional team to shape the roadmap, set the technical and product vision, and ensure we deliver scalable, resilient solutions.
• Lead, coach, and mentor a talented group of engineers — helping them grow, removing blockers, and enabling them to do their best work.
• Ensure strong execution: clear planning, realistic commitments, and healthy team operations.
• Stay close to the tech and the product — setting high standards for engineering quality and leading by example.
• Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Work with other engineering leads across Wise to keep the team aligned with our wider technical strategy and long-term architecture.
• Own hiring, development, and long-term impact of your team.
Starting Salary: £100,000 - £125,000 + RSU
