About The Role
Our team: the Analytics Platform team, on the Data Squad

For our customers, using Wise is as simple as sending money from A to B. Yet behind our app and website is a complex engine of currencies, routes, products and features, generating terabytes of data each day. The Data services offered by the Data Squad is at the core of systems that store, process and leverage this data, ultimately providing real time decision making capabilities that serve as one of many drivers for business growth.

As a Senior Analytics Platform Engineer, you will be integral to maintaining and enhancing the data platform's infrastructure to ensure high performance, scalability, and reliability. You will have the opportunity to leverage technologies, such as Airflow, Iceberg, and Trino, to drive strategic initiatives and support the evolving needs of our organisation.

We also manage a deployment of PipelineWise ), an initiative which started with this team, as well our Snowflake-based data warehouse governance and the analytics dashboarding tools we have in place.

These systems are deployed either on an internally run Kubernetes cluster or run by the team on AWS components, eventually to be ported across to internally maintained solutions. We're now starting off the migration to an orchestrated solution (k8s-based) and we need help to achieve this

How We Work
At Wise we believe in automation, programmatic implementation, and reusable design. We're looking for people who can step back and think holistically about the ecosystem, but also follow through and help implement the design; drawing on the resources across the rest of the platform tribe.

As we grow, we must prioritise protecting our customers' money and there are many challenges when it comes to meeting regulatory requirements world-wide. You will have a focus on running and maintaining the analytics services, making sure we have the right observability and service management elements in place, with an eye for high-availability, assessing and reducing engineering load and devising more effective ways for the team to look after its cloud-based platform.

We need to sustain this growth by continuously iterating on the services we run, with a focus on availability, security, and ease of use. We're looking for an engineer with relevant experience who can analyse complex requirements and deliver simple solutions to help our teams achieve our mission with speed and confidence.

We are looking for candidates with a minimum of 4 years of relevant experience for this role. Whilst we appreciate all applications, please note that candidates who do not meet this requirement will not be considered.

What will you be working on?

• Develop and maintain internal tooling written in Python (such as Pipelinewise) which underpin ETL workflows across the company
• Maintain and enhance the infrastructure supporting the data platform, ensuring high performance and availability.
• Ensure the reliability and scalability of data flows across various systems and services.
• Implement robust observability and alerting frameworks using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Analytics Experience and Data Governance, to ensure alignment in data serving and consumption patterns.
• Help establish and maintain high-standard service level agreements (SLAs) for data availability, system responsiveness, and incident management.
• Participate in the development and improvement of onboarding processes to promote a seamless user experience.
• Available to participate in the on-call rotation (1 week per month).
