## Description

Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money. Min fees. Max ease. Full speed.

As a Platform Engineer, you will be at the heart of this transformation, entrusted with complex, critical tasks that extend across the breadth of our technological endeavours.

Why This Role Matters: You will be joining our Compute team, a core component of our technological fabric. This team's mission is critical: to establish a robust, scalable platform that enables our engineers across the globe to deploy and manage services efficiently.

Key Responsibilities:

- Architect and Enhance Our Platform: You will take ownership of significant system components, designing and implementing scalable solutions that handle complex operational loads with high reliability and security.

- Drive Automation and Efficiency: Innovate and implement cutting-edge automation solutions at both the infrastructure (AWS) and application levels, reducing manual overhead, accelerating deployment cycles, and increasing system resilience.

- Holistic System Outlook: Assess the ecosystem as a whole to identify technological and systemic improvements.

- Active Collaboration and Leadership: While you will be deeply involved in hands-on technical work, your role also entails leading projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams to share knowledge, mentor peers, and refine our engineering practices.

- Embrace and Extend Cloud-Native Practices: With ongoing investments in AWS and Kubernetes, you will have the opportunity to lead initiatives that expand our capabilities in the cloud-native landscape, from developing Kubernetes operators to enhancing our service mesh infrastructure.

Impact: Your contributions will directly impact the ease with which millions of our customers manage their money across borders.

Challenges and Opportunities: This role is designed for those who thrive in environments where the pace is fast, the landscape is continually evolving, and the stakes are high.
