## Description

We're looking for an Engineering Lead to join the Account Management team at Wise. This team is building the Current Account and Everyday banking experience products, which sit at the heart of Wise. The team owns how customers hold, organise and move their money day to day - their main account and Jars, the home screen they open, the flows they use to move, convert and add funds - and the ledger and money-movement systems underneath that the rest of the company builds on top of.

As an Engineering Lead, you will lead the team's engineers, own what they ship and their well-being, and build a clear view of how to grow each of them. You will stay hands-on, writing code, reviewing designs and PRs, and driving whole features across backend, web and mobile, coordinating delivery across all three. You will own the team's technical roadmap, decide how the systems evolve, keep reliability and tech-debt risk in check, and make the architectural calls that matter.

You will partner with your Product Manager and Design to ship what customers rely on, staying close enough to the code to make sound architectural calls and unblock the team when it matters. You will work across boundaries with the teams we build alongside: Account Sharing on joint accounts, Send on how money moves in and out, Wise Platform on products they build on top of account.

To succeed in this role, you will need:

- Strong backend engineering background, close to the code to guide senior engineers through hard problems.

- Deep understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures and microservices, and comfort making high-impact architectural decisions.

- Track record of owning the reliability, scalability and correctness of critical systems at scale.

- Comfortable in a JVM codebase, or confident you'll get there fast - we're on Java/Kotlin and Spring Boot.

- Experience leading a team of engineers and owning what they deliver.

- Leadership through trust: you give people context and direction and let them own their work.

- A clear communicator who can hold a technical argument with engineers and explain it plainly to everyone else.

- A product engineer's mindset - you measure your work by customer and business impact.

- Bias to action and comfort with ambiguity: you move quickly without dropping quality.

Nice to have:

- You use AI to build faster, and you're curious where it's heading.

- You've worked in fintech, payments or banking.

We offer £105K - £135K GBP + RSUs.
