Senior Java Software Engineer- Platform Engineering

Every day, Wise engineers deploy thousands of changes across hundreds of services. The Continuous Delivery team builds the platform that helps them do this safely, without turning delivery controls into a bottleneck. That challenge is becoming more important as AI-assisted development increases the volume and speed of software changes. We need to maintain strong safety and reliability standards while adapting our delivery platform to code and configuration increasingly produced with AI tools and agents.

About the role

You’ll join the team responsible for Wise’s Continuous Delivery platform. You’ll work primarily in Java & Go, extending Spinnaker and building the services and integrations around it. This is a hands-on engineering role with scope to influence the platform’s technical direction. You’ll take problems from discovery and design through to implementation and operation, working with teams across Platform Engineering and the wider company. We’re looking for someone who enjoys distributed systems, shared infrastructure, and problems where a seemingly small design decision can affect hundreds of services. You should be comfortable using deployment data, reliability metrics, and engineer feedback to decide where the team should invest.

What you’ll work on

• Design, build, and operate capabilities within Wise’s Continuous Delivery platform.
• Evolve our use of the Open Source CD tool Spinnaker and contribute improvements upstream where appropriate.
• Build reliable guardrails that help engineers deploy changes safely with minimal manual effort.
• Improve the shared foundations of the platform in partnership with other Platform Engineering teams.
• Use telemetry and feedback to understand how the platform performs and where engineers experience friction.
• Work directly with engineering teams as they adopt new deployment patterns and platform capabilities.
• Contribute to technical design, code reviews, documentation, and the development of other engineers.
