Working with us is more than just a nine-to-five. If you’re up for a challenge, there are always new problems to solve. Love to create? There’s an enormous opportunity to find new ways to help 16 million customers every single, too. Join us.
We’re over 5,000 people, from 110 nationalities, working in 17 countries around the world.
We work differently and we’re proud of it. Our teams are empowered to solve the most urgent and relevant problems they see for our customers.
We all share the responsibility of making Wise a success. We empower Wisers to make decisions and take ownership of how they work best. Teams and individuals have different needs – that’s why we have company-wise principles, and then our teams set their own guidelines.
In the words of our founder “people don’t join a company. They join a mission. And ours is big”.
Current banking systems don’t let us send, spend, or receive money across borders easiy. Or quickly. Or cheaply.
So, we’re building a new one.
Our mission is to make money without borders the new normal. For everyone. Fetting there isn’t easy, and we haven’t figured it all our yet. But together, we can do it.
Our Values
This isn’t just a job, we’re a revolution
We’re making a positive , important change in the world. We can’t do this handing out in our comfort ones. No-one can do this alone. We need each other.
We get it done.
We break through walls to make amazing things happen. We take ownership of what we do. This thing belongs to all of us. We take care of ourselves and each other.
Customers > Team > Ego
We’re working to create a better world for our customers – that’s the whole point. Customer voices should always be the loudest. We listen to and serve them as a team. Ego? Vanity? No. Stay humble.
No drama. Good Karma.
We start by assuming everyone has good intentions. We respect others’ worldviews and challenge arguments, not individuals. We’re open and honest – no hidden agendas here.
We’re human beings, none of us are perfect. But we are in this together. So, if you feel that someone has room to improve, speak up. None of us can get better without feedback.

Be prepared to talk about projects you’ve worked on (especially tech details)
Be ready to use a whiteboard to communicate your thoughts effectively
For some engineering positions we ask candidates to do a take-home coding problem prior to the interview. If this is the case, be prepared to walk us through your solution and process!
