About the role:

We are looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer to join our Payin Platform team in the London office. This team owns layer that powers how money enters Wise.

What will you be working on

Rather than owning a single payment method we build the Payin Session and Payment abstractions that let every product integrate a payment method once and scale to millions of transactions without re-solving the same problems. 

This is a high-volume high-leverage platform role: the systems you build are used by many teams across the company so correctness reliability and thoughtful API design matter enormously.
