We’re based across the world - from New York, to London, to Singapore and beyond.
Our Technical Support engineers ensure that our partners get a rapid and effective response when issues arise; from general questions about the behaviour of an API or webhook, to acting as a first-responder for a major incident.

- You’ll plan the growth and scaling of your team using a clear roadmap, impact, and near-term executable milestones.
- You’ll develop a deep expertise in the Wise API products and capabilities, and solid understanding of how Wise Platform partnerships have integrated with the solution.
- You’ll build strong internal and external relationships to maintain high-quality support and shape cross-functional collaboration.
