🏡 Be flexible in how and where you work, we understand everyone needs a little something different so we’ll do our best to make it happen

💡 Inspire teams with your ideas, knowledge and self-starting attitude

What does it take?:

  • Understanding the Wise domain (Fintech) and team specific domain (the problems they’re solving form, intricacies of the domains) (50+ eng teams, all have different domain specific topics, they’re grouped in tribes e.g. Crime Fighting (Fraud, AML), but they’re very different)

  • Understanding tech culture: how we build stuff, specific details on the tech stack (in our autonomous teams, teams do lots of different things and work on different stacks so need to understand details)

  • You’ll have deployed / gone through the entire lifecycle of a microservice on your own

  • Gone through two quarterly plannings and proposed a few ideas to take your product further
