Max ease. Full speed.\nWhether 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.\nAs part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.\nFor everyone, everywhere.\nMore about our mission and what we offer.\nJob Description\nThe AUP team designs, builds, and operates the preventative and detective controls that monitor transactions and customer activity. If someone tries to use Wise for prohibited activities, we detect it, review it, and take action.\nJoin us as we shift our strategy from \"Policy-First to Risk-Driven\" to drive growth. We want to enable all legal activities and minimize friction for legitimate customers, while surgically targeting and neutralizing genuinely illicit, high-risk behaviors.\nAs the Engineering Lead, you will lead a highly collaborative, cross-functional squad, alongside data scientists, analysts, compliance managers, and designers.\nHow we work:\nWe operate with high autonomy, low control, and a belief that the best ideas win. We don’t just hand you a roadmap; you will partner directly with your Product Manager, Compliance Lead, and Lead Data Scientist to define both the product and technical vision for the team.\nWhat will you be working on?\nRisk Detection: Close coverage gaps and scale our detection systems by integrating advanced Machine Learning models and building robust controls to spot AUP violations.\n\nSupercharge Operations: Architect automated workflows and intuitive internal tooling to reduce the cost per case and median handling times for our operations analysts.\n\nOwn the Architecture: Keep our services highly available, resilient, and secure. You’ll ensure we have the right monitoring, observability, and decoupled architectures to scale alongside Wise's massive global volume.\n\nQualifications\nWhat do you need?\nWe are fully aware that it is uncommon for a candidate to have all the skills required, and we fully support everyone in learning new skills with us. We value potential, execution, and enthusiasm as much as existing expertise.\nEngineering Leadership: You have proven experience leading, mentoring, and developing software engineers in an agile environment (either as a Tech Lead or Engineering Manager).\n\nStrong Technical Roots: You have a solid engineering background with modern languages and an understanding of frontend frameworks (like React and TypeScript).\n\nDistributed Systems at Scale: You have designed, deployed, and maintained scalable, concurrent microservices in a cloud environment. You understand the tradeoffs of high-throughput message processing and asynchronous workflows.\n\nProduct & Risk Mindset: You don't build tech for the sake of tech. You care about the business impact, understand operational bottlenecks, and can translate complex policy mandates into simple, incremental engineering milestones.\n\nExcellent Communication: You can easily align engineers, data scientists, and non-technical business partners (like compliance and operations leads) toward a shared technical vision.\n\nNice to Have:\nPrior experience working in FinTech, Financial Crime (AML, Sanctions, Fraud, or Policy enforcement).\n\nExperience partnering with Data Scientists to productionalize and scale Machine Learning models.\n\nFamiliarity with Cloud Infrastructure and modern DevOps tooling (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions).\n\nExperience building or optimizing high-volume case-management platforms or operational back-office tools.\n\nYou are already a customer of Wise!\n\nAdditional Information\nInterested?

We're people building money without borders - without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.\nWe're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.\nInclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.\nIf you want to find out more about what it's like to work at Wise visit Wise.Jobs.\nKeep up to date with life at Wise by following us on LinkedIn and Instagram.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4609,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Internet Services","Manufacturing","Internet Service Providers"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T19:16:41Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":49,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":111896,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/modelwise-engineering-lead-aup-acceptable-use-policy","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/modelwise-engineering-lead-aup-acceptable-use-policy.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T20:40:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":27535,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4410409},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4410409"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmodelwise-engineering-lead-aup-acceptable-use-policy"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmodelwise-engineering-lead-aup-acceptable-use-policy"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmodelwise-engineering-lead-aup-acceptable-use-policy"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/modelwise-engineering-lead-aup-acceptable-use-policy\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmodelwise-engineering-lead-aup-acceptable-use-policy"}]}
