Senior Software Engineer Fincrime Reporting
Job Summary
When Wises investigation teams find suspicious activity we have a legal obligation to report it to Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) around the world quickly accurately and in the format each country requires.

When AML Fraud or KYC investigators escalate a case we determine where it must be reported gather the right data from across Wise generate a report that meets local requirements submit it and manage what happens next including keeping funds frozen while law enforcement decides whether a transaction can go ahead. Our goal is to automate this end to end so reports are faster more accurate and fully auditable and our operations specialists can focus on the cases that genuinely need human judgement.
