Senior Software Engineer - APAC Expansion

Salary range: 148,800 - 185,000 SGD base per annum + RSUs APAC Expansion specialises in taking Wise from 0 to 1 in markets where our products are unavailable or our presence is still limited. We build the expertise needed to launch in each market, understanding local payment infrastructure and regulatory requirements, and how customers need to use Wise. The work starts before a launch and continues as we learn from customers. You’ll help turn unfamiliar requirements into working products, build integrations with local partners, and improve the services that support them.

Our recent launch of the Wise Account and card in Thailand is an example of the products this work makes possible. Based in Singapore, you’ll work with colleagues across the region on market launches and product improvements, including our expansion offices in South Korea and Japan as well as our other big hub in Hyderabad.

What you’ll do

• Own the technical plan and delivery of projects, from understanding the customer problem through rollout and ongoing operation. Contribute significant engineering work to larger market launches.
• Build onboarding and money movement services that meet local requirements and fit into Wise’s global platform.
• Work with product managers and colleagues in compliance, banking, and operations to clarify requirements, resolve dependencies, and agree practical delivery milestones.
• Contribute to the team’s roadmap. Explain the customer impact of your work, challenge assumptions, and use data and operational feedback to guide improvements.
• Design services that are easy to change as a market develops. Take responsibility for their reliability and security, and address technical debt before it limits delivery.
• Help colleagues deliver through design discussions, code reviews, and mentoring. Share knowledge so others can confidently maintain and develop what you build.
• Participate in the team’s on-call rotation, including support outside working hours when needed. Help lead incident response and follow through on improvements.
• Explore where AI tools can help with engineering work, reviewing their output carefully and taking responsibility for the code you ship.
