The team you will join: AML Handling within the AML Squad in the FinCrime Chapter
Why this team exists
Regulatory expectations demand that we review more users, monitor additional typologies, and continuously elevate decision quality each year. Without technical leverage, our AML Investigations unit would keep growing - an expensive route that makes maintaining high quality difficult.
The AML Handling team exists to scale operational growth maintaining high quality. We craft back-office tooling that enables agents to work in a unified space, enhance their daily workflow with Artificial Intelligence, and automatically resolve high-confidence cases. Our mission is to achieve nearly 100% case automation by 2028, while keeping Decision Accuracy above 90%.
What will you be working on?
AML Handling team is looking for an experienced Product Engineer to help us build the tools and systems that enable Wise to investigate and resolve financial crime cases effectively. In AML Handling, we improve how operational teams work, using automation and AI to support better decisions, reduce manual effort, and minimise unnecessary friction for customers.
What will you be doing?
The technology you’ll work with
Our primary technology stack is Java, Spring Boot, and Kafka, with SQL databases. You’ll work with distributed services, asynchronous processing, and data at scale.
We design for scalability, observability, privacy, security, reliability, and cost.
What are we looking for?
No prior AML experience required. Our product leads, operational partners, and data scientists will help you build domain knowledge if you bring curiosity and a willingness to learn.
