Job Description

We are looking for a Software Engineer with a strong product and engineering mindset to join our Treasury FX Risk team.

Our team calculates FX risk from trading foreign exchange to meet Wise's liquidity needs.

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 treasury tribe.

We need a seasoned engineer who can dissect complex requirements and create elegant, impactful solutions, empowering our teams to advance our mission with agility and confidence.
