More about [our mission](https://wise.jobs/our-mission) and [what we offer](https://wise.jobs/what-we-offer). About the role With Wise Assets, we’ve enabled customers to grow the money they hold with Wise - giving them access to government-backed assets that track base rates, or a global stock index fund.

The approach is unique: • A current account backed by real assets • Daily returns across the entire balance • Instant access with no penalties or lock-ins • Segregated, bankruptcy-protected custody Now we’re expanding the offering further. We want to let customers invest in individual stocks, build long-term, tax-beneficial money pots, and manage more of their financial lives directly through Wise. You will define how this works from the ground up - shaping the product, the technical foundations, and every detail that makes it real. What do you need?
