Senior Software Engineer - Java - AML Handling

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?

• Design and build scalable systems for AML case handling and investigation workflows.

• Own substantial technical initiatives end to end, from understanding the problem and shaping the technical approach to delivery and operation in production.

• Partner with Product, Operations, Data Scientists, and Data Analysts to identify opportunities, shape product decisions, and measure the impact of your work.

• Build automation and bring AI capabilities into production, with attention to quality, evaluation, traceability, and appropriate human oversight.

• Improve reliability, security, and technical quality through thoughtful system design, testing, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
   

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.
