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\nJob Description\nWe're looking for an experienced Senior Product Engineer to join the Risk & Control Governance team / Risk Assessment Group. You'll be instrumental in building the governance, assurance, and data foundations that ensure every risk decision at Wise is consistent, explainable, auditable, and continuously monitored.\nThis role works at the intersection of the Risk API platform, Product, and Financial Crime (FinCrime) teams - offering a unique opportunity to build the systems that give Wise confidence in every risk assessment it operates at scale.\nYou will be the driving force behind the platform's trustworthiness and integrity, focusing on:\nData Governance: Building and maintaining data ownership, lineage, and quality monitoring systems that ensure every risk decision is powered by trusted data.\n\nControl Assurance: Designing continuous monitoring and validation systems that verify controls perform as intended - including trigger validation, drift detection, coverage analysis, and control health scoring.\n\nAuditability & Explainability: Implementing end-to-end audit trails, change history tracking, and explainability tooling that enables one-click regulatory evidence generation.\n\nScalable Solutions: Designing robust, high-throughput solutions that handle large volumes of data and can be quickly understood and scaled across multiple distinct risk domains.\n\nWhat will you be working on?\nYou will join the team at a pivotal moment, with your contributions being immediately visible and critical to the success of the entire Risk Assessment platform's governance layer.\nThe core challenge for the team - and your immediate focus - is to build the assurance and governance foundations that the platform currently lacks, ensuring every control can answer: Was the right trigger used? Was the right data available? Was the right decision made? Is the control still effective?\nYour immediate impact will be to:\nBuild Data Trust: Implement data quality monitoring, data contracts, and lineage tracking that give the organisation full traceability from risk decisions back to source data.\n\nDeliver Continuous Assurance: Design and build automated monitoring systems that continuously validate control effectiveness - detecting drift, false positives/negatives, and coverage gaps before they become incidents.\n\nEnable Auditability: Create audit trail infrastructure and explainability tooling that dramatically reduces the effort required for regulatory reporting and compliance evidence generation.\n\nIntegrate with Risk API: Work closely with the Risk API team to embed governance and assurance capabilities into the core platform, ensuring clean integration points and shared data contracts.\n\nQualifications\nWhat do you need?\nStrong Backend Engineering: Proven experience building high-throughput, data-intensive systems in any language. Hands-on expertise with Kafka, SQL and NoSQL databases, and designing for scale and reliability.\n\nData Engineering Aptitude: Experience with data quality frameworks, pipeline orchestration, or lineage tracking. You understand what it takes to make data trustworthy at scale.\n\nSystems Thinking: Ability to reason about complex distributed systems, identify failure modes, and design solutions that are both robust and operationally simple.\n\nOwnership & Autonomy: Comfortable operating with ambiguity, defining your own work from high-level objectives, and driving delivery end-to-end without close direction.\n\nCollaborative Mindset: Ability to work effectively across team boundaries - particularly with the Risk API team, Product, and FinCrime stakeholders - to align on contracts, data models, and integration patterns.\n\nAdditional information\nFor everyone, everywhere.
