Job Description

Please note we do not offer relocation support or VISA sponsorship for this role.

The Europe and UK Business Onboarding and Verification team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build seamless, scalable and compliant onboarding for businesses across the region.

Our focus is business onboarding and verification: creating systems that understand and verify businesses, helping legitimate customers access Wise quickly and safely.

Requirements vary across markets, business types and ownership structures. We manage this complexity through automated verification, flexible information-collection flows and robust controls that reduce financial crime risk without adding unnecessary friction.

By increasing automation and improving the wider onboarding experience, we help Wise onboard more businesses, enter new markets and scale efficiently.

Join us to shape how businesses across Europe and the UK access Wise.

How we work

We keep our customers needs at the centre of every decision while building effective controls that help Wise onboard businesses safely and compliantly. We use data, research, customer feedback and operational insights to identify the most important problems, reduce unnecessary friction and strengthen our verification processes.

At Wise, teams have the autonomy to define their priorities and own outcomes. Everyone is encouraged to contribute ideas, challenge assumptions and help shape solutions that balance customer experience, risk management and scalable growth.

What will you be doing

You will design and build reliable, scalable systems supporting business onboarding and verification across Europe and the UK.

  • Build and improve systems for verifying businesses, owners, directors and other associated parties.

  • Automate information collection, verification and decision-making to reduce onboarding time and manual work.

  • Create flexible onboarding journeys that adapt to different markets, business types and regulatory requirements.

  • Develop effective controls and monitoring to manage financial-crime and compliance risks with minimal customer friction.

  • Own projects end to end, from problem discovery and technical design through to delivery and measuring impact.

  • Collaborate with Product, Compliance, Operations and other engineering teams while maintaining high standards for reliability, testing and code quality.


Qualifications

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!

What do you need?

  • 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 of Java or other JVM based language, experience with Spring framework and deep understanding of JDBC and database internals.

  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and Distributed and Concurrent Systems

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

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

  • You enjoy writing testable code and believe in Test Driven Development
