Data Engineer – Global KYC
7 days ago
Wise is a global technology company building the best way to move and manage the world’s money. Whether people and businesses are sending money overseas, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money. As part of our team, you will help create an entirely new network for the world’s money. As a Data Engineer in the KYC & Onboarding squad, you will build data infrastructure, analytics pipelines, and modelling frameworks that detect, prevent, and monitor financial crime through customer onboarding. You will partner closely with product, compliance, analytics, and operations teams to drive data‑led insights and proactive controls that enable safe growth. Key Responsibilities Lead data engineering pipeline related to onboarding / KYC / FinCrime; establish best practices around data modelling, testing, monitoring, and deployment. Define and own the analytics infrastructure roadmap for the Global KYC & Onboarding squad, from data source ingestion through to analytics delivery and dashboard creation. Build and maintain core datasets focused on KYC onboarding events, customer risk scores, alert triggers, and case outcomes. Evangelise and lead adoption of modern tooling (dbt, Airflow, Snowflake, Python, Looker/Superset) to improve reliability, speed, and trust in analytics. Drive implementation of best practices in data‑pipeline instrumentation, monitoring, error‑handling, and data‑quality in a high‑stakes regulatory environment. Translate complex data into clear, actionable narratives with the Analytics and Product team, enabling decisions around customer acceptance or decline, risk tiering, and remediation prioritisation. Partner with cross‑functional teams (compliance, risk, product, operations) to identify new data sources, define tagging strategies, design KPIs (average time to onboard, false‑positive rate), and deliver measurable business impact. Required Qualifications & Skills Advanced proficiency in SQL and Python (able to build production‑grade analytics pipelines and models). Proven experience in building robust data pipelines and effective data models in a high‑volume environment. Hands‑on experience with an orchestration tool (e.g., Airflow) or equivalent workflow scheduling. Strong project leadership and stakeholder‑management skills – comfortable shaping strategy and delivering on roadmap, with rigorous communication. Experience with BI tools (Looker, Superset, Tableau) and working closely with analysts and engineers to deliver trusted dashboards. Empathy for stakeholders (compliance, ops, product) and a proactive mindset in identifying and solving their problems in a regulated environment. Nice‑to‑have Experience with modern analytics engineering stack: dbt, Snowflake/BigQuery/Databricks, event‑streaming data (Kafka/Kinesis). Previous experience in a fintech, neobank, or payments company with international operations and regulatory scope. Demonstrable expertise in FinCrime / KYC / Onboarding or Risk & Compliance analytics (for example: building models/metrics around onboarding conversion, false‑positive reduction, watch‑list matching, alert triage). Exposure to machine learning or statistical modelling applied to onboarding risk scoring or fraud/AML detection. What We Offer Starting salary: £105,000 - £130,000 + RSU. Wise benefits (details available upon request).
