About the role
As an Engineering Lead responsible for our Work Management team at Wise, you will guide this established group as it transitions out of a wider department to become its own dedicated function. Your focus will be on aligning Wise's business requirements with our Atlassian tech-stack to minimize friction and maximize productivity for internal users. You will manage a global team of 6 engineers across Tallinn and Hyderabad, overseeing the technical roadmap, architectural integrity, and security of our integrations while ensuring the team continues to deliver reliable solutions with speed and quality.
Why you should join us
Scale & Impact: You’ll be responsible for systems that support thousands of global employees in a fast-growing, publicly-traded fintech.
Autonomy: We don’t do micro-management. You’ll own your roadmap, choosing the best technical paths to solve work management challenges.
Complex Problem Solving: From scaling global Atlassian instances to building bespoke integrations between Jira, Confluence, and our internal tools, the technical challenges are constant.
Mission-Driven Culture: Join a company that values transparency, "customer is first" (even internal customers), and getting it done. We empower teams to make decisions and take ownership. We value clear outcomes, strong cross-functional partnerships and measurable impact. Read more about how we work here.
