## 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 part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money. For everyone, everywhere.

### About the role:

Enter: our Data Lakehouse Platform team! For our customers, using Wise is as simple as sending money from A to B. Yet behind our app and website is a complex engine of currencies, routes, products and features, generating terabytes of data each day. The Data Products and Insights squad is at the core of systems that store, process, and leverage data, machine learning models, and generative AI capabilities. Ultimately, this provides insights and innovative ML and AI driven solutions that serve as key drivers for business growth.

Your mission will be to lead the teams building and maintaining a platform that enables everyone at Wise to leverage petabyte-scale data to power our product and to enable timely, intelligent decisions for our teams. You will guide the sustainable growth of this critical function, lead other engineering leads, senior engineers and have the opportunity to shape multiple teams across our analytics platform.

### How we work:

We operate with a 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; drawing on the resources across the rest of the Platform Tribe. As we grow, it is imperative to protect our customers' money and navigate complex regulatory requirements world-wide.

### What will you be working on?:

You are an experienced leader, confident in problem-solving and guiding engineering teams through the complexities of project delivery using both agile and traditional methodologies. You have experience growing more junior leaders and staff+ engineers. Great communication skills and the ability to build consensus - you're comfortable making a case for what you believe we should be doing.

### 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. We value potential and enthusiasm as much as existing expertise.

You have a solid engineering background with years of experience putting solutions into production and maintaining them. You have the ability to take initiative while working collaboratively. You identify problems, empathise with and build for stakeholders and collaborators across the business, create plans, and see these through to delivery.

### Nice to Have:

Passionate about technology and its relationship with product and user experience. Experience with platform infrastructure such as on AWS or other cloud ecosystems. Experience with Docker and Kubernetes and running containerized workloads. Knowledge of, or experience with data warehousing, data processing infrastructure, and BI tooling. Knowledge of, or interest in payment platforms and foreign exchange..

### What do we offer:

- Starting salary: £135,000 - £175,000 + RSUs

- Wise Benefits
