More about our mission.
We need a Staff Software Engineer – Site Reliability Engineering to join our mission and help us build a global platform that’s scalable, reliable and secure.
About the role
The SRE team’ mission is to focus on engineering-wide reliability problems at Wise. We set the reliability standard we expect of our hundreds of microservices to achieve, we do this via libraries, tooling, documentation, consulting and hands-on contribution.

How we work
