Senior Engineering Team Lead - Analytics Platform

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.

Your input will directly affect how Wise builds and scales large-scale data and analytical capabilities across the company, enabling teams to move with speed and confidence while maintaining reliability, security and operational excellence.

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.

You will have a focus on running and maintaining services and libraries, making sure we have the right observability and service management elements in place, with an eye for high-availability, assessing and reducing engineering load and devising more effective ways for the team to look after its cloud-based platform.

We need to sustain this growth by continuously iterating on the services we run, with a focus on availability, security, and ease of use.

We’re looking for an engineer with relevant experience who can understand and respond to complex requirements and deliver simple solutions to help our teams achieve our mission with speed and confidence.

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.
