Job Description
The team you will join: Tax Experience
With Wise Assets, we’ve enabled customers to grow the money they hold with Wise - giving them access to government-backed assets that track base rates, or a global stock index fund. This is a product that challenges traditional banking by putting customers in control of how their balance is held. Banks keep the yield; we pass it on.
The approach is unique:
• A current account backed by real assets
• Daily returns across the entire balance
• Instant access with no penalties or lock-ins
• Segregated, bankruptcy-protected custody
About the Team:
Our investment products create tax obligations. The team mission is to make tax season effortless and seamless for Wise customers. We strive to simplify tax complexities by doing the heavy lifting for them, ensuring they easily understand their tax obligations. Additionally, we provide comprehensive, crystal-clear reporting to guarantee total product transparency. Our goal is to empower customers with the insights they need to feel completely confident in our platform and understand exactly how it works for them.
What you’ll do
• Partner with a Product Manager and a cross-functional team to shape the roadmap, set the technical and product vision, and ensure we deliver scalable, resilient solutions.
• Lead, coach, and mentor a talented group of engineers — helping them grow, removing blockers, and enabling them to do their best work.
• Ensure strong execution: clear planning, realistic commitments, and healthy team operations.
• Stay close to the tech and the product — setting high standards for engineering quality and leading by example.
• Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Work with other engineering leads across Wise to keep the team aligned with our wider technical strategy and long-term architecture.
• Own hiring, development, and long-term impact of your team.
