APAC customers are a strong contributor to the Wise's growth. India plays a crucial part of it. A big part of this growth comes from new customer acquisitions, so having a fast, convenient and delightful customer onboarding journey and money movement are central to this growth. That’s the mission of the India Product team, and we’re looking for people who can make this happen. If this sounds like an exciting challenge, we’d love to hear from you!

Here’s how you’ll be contributing to the team

• Design scalable onboarding solutions tailored to diverse APAC markets, reducing redundancies and driving up conversion rates

• Implement scalable KYC controls across multiple regulatory markets with minimal friction in the customer journey

• Build and maintain automations and tooling to process customer documents and other sensitive identity data in a scalable and cost-efficient way Wron

• Utilise the observability stack and analytics to identify gaps, and unlock new opportunities for growth and operational excellence.

• Help with the technical roadmap of the team and ensure its progress and delivery

A bit about you

• You have at least 8 years of professional experience in software engineering or related roles, with a proven track record of delivering high-impact, production-grade systems.

• You have extensive experience with JVM-based systems (Java 17+) and the Spring Boot ecosystem.

…but don’t worry we don’t expect you to know everything!

Some extra skills and experiences that would be great:

• You have experience with financial systems, particularly how money moves globally

• You understand the technical challenges of integrating third-party verification providers, managing sensitive identity, and building modular KYC workflows that can be adapted for different regulatory bodies
