Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money. As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money. We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Continuous Delivery (CD) Platform team. You’ll dive straight into Spinnaker, our strategic platform to help us build a global infrastructure that is scalable, reliable, and secure.

You will be responsible for designing and running a comprehensive CD ecosystem that empowers our entire engineering organisation to ship code safely. 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. As we grow, so does our need to deploy software with maximum confidence and minimum effort.

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. Currently, the focus is principally extending the OSS project of Spinnaker, creating a scalable foundation for our CD platform, integrating with partner teams in Platform Engineering. Working closely with engineers across the company to help them as they shift towards the CD paradigm for deploying software.

If you’re a problem-solver who loves working at scale and using data to drive technical decisions, we want to hear from you. Hands-on Java Software Engineer - you will be building the platform and applying best SDLC practices (development, testing, applications, monitoring). Strong understanding of Java and relevant application frameworks (e.g. AWS, GCP) both in utilising services and how cloud infrastructure works.

Experience in scaling, building and testing with automation; e.g. including tooling in pipelines instead of manual operational changes. Good knowledge of cloud networking and security. Experience of capacity planning as well as performance and load testing.

The opportunity to gain visibility in the open source community. A fun work environment with social activities and events. We're people building money without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
