Swift Engineer

The team you’ll be working with: Swift

Our team looks after Wise’s connection to the Swift network; the backbone of the financial world. The team is in a special place, because it’s the bridge between the established and new financial systems - Swift and Wise.

We build and maintain the infrastructure that allows us to exchange messages (payment instructions, statements, RFIs) with other participants of the Swift network. We are the experts in correspondent banking and various Swift services, like SwiftRef and GPI, and we utilise these services in various ways to improve our product.

Next to the infrastructure, the team is responsible to move USD and EUR to foreign countries (to China for example), and looks after customers - mostly businesses - who send on these routes.

Our technology stack includes Java, Kotlin, Kafka messaging and relational databases, but also graphs and machine learning. The team is dynamically growing, and its role and responsibility is increasing every day.
