Engineering Lead Account Management

Were looking for an Engineering Lead to join the Account Management team. This team is building the Current Account and Everyday banking experience products which sit at the heart of Wise. The team owns how customers hold organise and move their money day to day - their main account and Jars the home screen they open the flows they use to move convert and add funds - and the ledger and money-movement systems underneath that the rest of the company builds on top of. Our mission is to make Wise the account customers reach for every day and ultimately the last account theyll need to open.

The role spans engineering product and people. Youll go broad across all three rather than deep in any one. Youll guide the team own where it takes its systems technically and partner with your Product Manager and Design to ship what customers rely on - staying close enough to the code to make sound architectural calls and unblock the team when it matters.

What youll be doing

• Lead the teams engineers - own what they ship and their well-being and build a clear view of how to grow each of them.

• Stay hands-on: write code review designs and PRs and drive whole features across backend web and mobile coordinating delivery across all three.

• Own the teams technical roadmap. Decide how the systems evolve keep reliability and tech-debt risk in check and make the architectural calls that matter.

• Partner with your PM and Design and give sharp feedback on whats worth building and why.

• Work across boundaries with the teams we build alongside: Account Sharing on joint accounts Send on how money moves in and out Wise Platform on products they build on top of account.
