If you're ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us.
Attributes We Value
We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you're motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor.
You're humble and collaborative; turn zero-to-one ideas into real products, and you "get stuff done" end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you'll tackle complex, high-visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let's build what's next.
About the team
Airwallex's Information Security team partners closely with engineering, IT, and other stakeholders to protect our systems, data, and employees while enabling the business to move quickly. The team helps build and maintain strong security practices across the company-from secure product and infrastructure design to risk reduction, incident response, audits, and compliance-so security is built into how we operate, not treated as a blocker.
What you'll do
As a Senior Software Engineer working on internal AI tooling, you will be responsible for helping keep $150b+ in payments, 150,000 companies, and our thousands of employees safe.
You'll have the opportunity to partner with internal teams to help identify projects that can drive impact - like building internal automation tooling, owning our terabyte-scale log pipelines, and using AI to streamline how our team operates.
We're not tied to specific projects, languages, and technology - we rely on smart people diving deep to find the best solutions to hard problems. You'll also be mentoring junior team members and continuing to grow our world-class engineering team.
