Job Description
Wise is seeking a Senior Software Engineer II to join the Risk & Control Governance team within the Risk Assessment Group in London. This on-site role focuses on constructing the governance, assurance, and data foundations that guarantee consistency, explainability, auditability, and continuous monitoring for all risk decisions. The selected candidate will operate at the intersection of Product, Financial Crime, and Risk API platform units to deliver reliable systems handling high-volume risk data at scale.

- Design automated monitoring systems to evaluate control effectiveness and detect operational drift
- Develop audit trail infrastructure and explainability tooling to support regulatory reporting
- Collaborate with the Risk API team to integrate governance capabilities and shared data contracts
Requirements
- Experience building high-throughput, data-intensive backend systems in any programming language
- Practical expertise with Kafka, as well as SQL and NoSQL databases
- Familiarity with data quality frameworks, lineage tracking, or pipeline orchestration
- Ability to design robust, reliable, and operationally simple solutions for complex distributed systems
