Engineering Lead - AUP (Acceptable Use Policy)

Team you will be working with: AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) team! 🎉 The AUP team designs, builds, and operates the preventative and detective controls that monitor transactions and customer activity. If someone tries to use Wise for prohibited activities, we detect it, review it, and take action. Join us as we shift our strategy from "Policy-First to Risk-Driven" to drive growth. We want to enable all legal activities and minimize friction for legitimate customers, while surgically targeting and neutralizing genuinely illicit, high-risk behaviors.

As the Engineering Lead, you will lead a highly collaborative, cross-functional squad, alongside data scientists, analysts, compliance managers, and designers.

How we work

We operate with high autonomy, low control, and a belief that the best ideas win. We don’t just hand you a roadmap; you will partner directly with your Product Manager, Compliance Lead, and Lead Data Scientist to define both the product and technical vision for the team. What will you be working on?

• Risk Detection: Close coverage gaps and scale our detection systems by integrating advanced Machine Learning models and building robust controls to spot AUP violations.
• Supercharge Operations: Architect automated workflows and intuitive internal tooling to reduce the cost per case and median handling times for our operations analysts.
• Own the Architecture: Keep our services highly available, resilient, and secure. You’ll ensure we have the right monitoring, observability, and decoupled architectures to scale alongside Wise's massive global volume.
