Engineering Lead - Organic Growth

Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money. Min fees. Max ease. Full speed. Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them 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 talented Engineering Lead to join our SEO Product team. SEO Product is responsible for building products that will make customer acquisition eventually free. We do that by building systems that allow us to build a large number of SEO-optimised pages at scale, while making sure that the quality of these pages stays high. This is accomplished through maintaining and improving internal content management systems, as well as through integration with 3rd party data providers. Our team helps tell Wise’s story to more than 30 million visitors a month - and as the lead of the team, you’ll drive how to reach and convince an even wider audience in a scalable and effective way.

As the team’s work is more often on frontend than backend, we’re looking for a lead who has web frontend expertise - though experience across both sides of the stack is preferred.

As an Engineering Lead, you will:

• Collaborate with product, design, SEO and other teams across the company to deliver impactful outcomes as a team.
• Be responsible for the overall health and productivity of the engineers within your team - and help them grow to be their best selves.
• Own the availability and scalability of our logged-out marketing pages, and how we build them going forward.
• Provide feedback on technical design decisions and approach, and help the team make data-driven decisions.
• Have an overview of what’s happening within the broader Onboarding space, and think about engineering as a whole.
• Understand the teams’ systems deeply enough to be hands on, when needed.

Qualifications

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!
