We’re looking for a full-time Front End Developer to join our growing team in London. The role is a unique opportunity to build beautifully simple experiences that guide our customers through TransferWise, helping them to live, travel and work internationally.

Yet behind our app and website it’s a complex engine of currencies and routes, that’s being designed, built and powered by our talented teams in cities around the world. With new capabilities being built every day, there’s still heaps to figure out, and we can’t do it alone.


You’ll receive a competitive package, generous stock options, private healthcare, flexible working and a range of other benefits.


Your mission:


  • Help us take TransferWise to the next level as we scale to impact 100’s of millions more customers. You’ll hideaway all complexities under the hood of our product and build seamless experiences for our customers
  • Working on the core flow of TransferWise, you’ll guide our customers from their first experience on our landing page to completing a transfer and making sure they are informed every step of the way

  • Be flexible in how and where you work, we understand everyone needs a little something different so we’ll do our best to make it happen
  • Travel to work and learn with our teams in London, Tallinn, Budapest, Singapore and more

A bit about you:


  • You’re passionate about product and user experience - customers are at the heart of what you do and that empathy drives your decisions
  • You understand how to test your assumptions and aren’t afraid to try something, potentially fail and then learn from this experience
  • You have expert knowledge of JavaScript and how it interacts with the DOM
  • You feel comfortable with modern front-end frameworks and tools - React, Redux, and Webpack
  • You’ve worked with Java, back-end MVC frameworks and have experience with microservice architecture
  • You have a good understanding of Scrum and Agile development
  • You consider tests a must
  • Your code reads like well-written prose
  • You have a strong sense of good UX and design
