- Full speed.
Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.

Job Description
About the Role
With Wise Assets, we’ve enabled customers to grow the money they hold with Wise—giving them access to government-backed assets that track base rates or a global stock index fund. This is a product that challenges traditional banking by putting customers in control of how their balance is held.
Banks keep the yield; we pass it on.
The Approach Is Unique
- A current account backed by real assets
- Daily returns across the entire balance
- Instant access with no penalties or lock-ins
- Segregated, bankruptcy-protected custody
Now, we’re expanding the offering further. We want to let customers:
- Invest in individual stocks
- Build long-term, tax-beneficial money pots
- Manage more of their financial lives directly through Wise
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will define how this works from the ground up—shaping the product, the technical foundations, and every detail that makes it real.
What Do We Need?
We understand it’s uncommon for a candidate to have all skills required. We fully support employees in learning new skills here. So if you have some of the below and are eager to learn, we’d love to hear from you:
- A strong product mindset and passion for user experience, prioritising work with customers in mind and making data-driven decisions to fix pain points
- Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts to non-technical audiences
- Ability to work independently while also being a supportive team player—your work often involves cross-team collaboration
- Ability to break down complex projects into incremental milestones that deliver customer value

- Experience in developing web applications and distributed systems in a production environment
- Experience with common design and architectural patterns coupled with a passion for writing clean, performant, and well-tested code
