We’re looking for an experienced and versatile,product mindedSenior Cards Payment Engineer to join our scaling-up engineering office in Singapore. The role is a unique opportunity to join one of the most successful FinTech start-ups in the world and to contribute to building our Asia/Pacific product. Hence helping millions more potential customers save money by using TransferWise.

What it’sreallylike to work here

At TransferWise, we do things a bit differently. There’s no corporate nonsense, and no old-fashioned hierarchy. Instead, we work in dozens of self-sufficient, autonomous teams. Think of them like start-ups within a start-up that learn from each other.

Each team picks the problems they want to solve. So there’s no micro-management. No hiding behind fancy job titles. You’ll get tons of guidance and plenty of support from talented, super-smart colleagues from all over TransferWise.

We’re going to be upfront — the way we work doesn’t suit everyone. But if freedom, autonomy, and life-affirming, head-scratching professional challenges rock your world, we could be a match made in heaven.
