Job Description

About the role 

We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with experience in Java and Javascript/Typescript.

The Trust and Safety team at Wise is dedicated to safeguarding our platform against financial crime and ensuring the protection of our customers. By leveraging cutting-edge machine learning, real-time transaction monitoring, and data analysis, our team of software engineers, data analysts, and data scientists create controls and detection capabilities to protect our customers accounts from unauthorised access and help them avoid falling victim to scams. 

How we work

We operate on a strong belief in automation, programmatic implementation, and reusable design. We’re looking for people who can step back and think holistically about the ecosystem, but also follow through and help implement the design; drawing on the resources across the rest of the tribe.

We need to sustain this growth by continuously iterating on the services we run, with a focus on availability, security, and ease of use. We’re looking for an engineer with relevant experience who can analyse complex requirements and deliver simple solutions to help our teams achieve our mission with speed and confidence. 

What will you be working on?

Build a globally scalable fraud prevention and detection engine to maintain Wise as a secure environment for our legitimate customers.

Utilise machine learning techniques to identify potential risks associated with customer activity.

Foster a strong partnership between our fraud investigators and the product team to develop solutions that leverage the expertise of fraud prevention specialists.

Not only meet the requirements set by regulators and auditors but also surpass their expectations.

What do you need?

We are fully aware that it is uncommon for a candidate to have all skills required and we fully support everyone in learning new skills with us. So if you have some of those listed below and are eager to learn more we do want to hear from you!

In depth experience using Java or other JVM based language, experience with Spring framework

Experience using Javascript or Typescript, experience with react or other similar front end frameworks

Experience with CI/CD pipelines and Distributed and Concurrent Systems

A strong product mindset and passion for user experience, you prioritise work with the customers in mind and make data-driven decisions to fix customer pain-points

Experience working with relational and non-relational databases, query optimisation and designing schemas

Being able to work independently on customer problems is a key to success - you take responsibility and end-to-end ownership of your projects: drive and own them to make sure we hit the goals we want to achieve

Close collaboration with product managers, data scientists, data analysts, engineers and other product teams is a must have and is something to expect to happen on a daily basis.

Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts to non-technical audience

You enjoy writing testable code and believe in Test Driven Development

You believe in and follow best coding practices, code reviews and open feedback

Experience with machine learning basics (data pipelines, feature engineering, recall/precision, familiarity with machine learning systems in production) is a plus

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

When it comes to job hunting in artificial intelligence (AI), most candidates head straight to traditional job boards, LinkedIn, or recruitment agencies. But what if there was a better way to find roles that aren’t advertised publicly? What if you could access hidden job leads, gain inside knowledge, or get referred by people already in the field? That’s where professional bodies and specialist AI communities come in. In this article, we’ll explore how UK-based organisations like BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), and the Turing Society can help you uncover AI job opportunities you won’t find elsewhere. We'll show you how to strategically use their directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) events to elevate your career and expand your AI job search in ways most job seekers overlook.

How to Get a Better AI Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

In this guide, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step action plan for turning redundancy into your next big opportunity. From managing the shock to targeting better AI jobs, updating your CV, and approaching recruiters the smart way, we’ll help you move from setback to comeback.
