hackajob is collaborating with Wise to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role. Company Description Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world's money. Min fees. Max ease. Full speed. Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, 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 be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money. For everyone, everywhere. More about our mission and what we offer . Job Description Wise is on a mission to facilitate borderless transactions - instant, transparent, and eventually free. Behind our seamless customer experience is a complex system of services that process over $100 billion annually for 16+ million customers worldwide. As we scale to serve millions more customers, reliability isn't just a technical concern, it's core to customer trust and business performance. The Platform Engineering Tribe: We are the backbone of Wise's technical infrastructure, ensuring everything runs smoothly for our customers and engineering teams. Our Reliability squad combines expertise in systems availability and uptime, monitoring performance metrics, and developing robust applications, to create a resilient platform that our customers can depend on 24/7/365. Our impact is indirect but critical: when Platform works well, every product team ships faster, safer, and at lower cost. We operate around four north-star KPIs: Productivity, Cost Efficiency, Risk, and Reliability. This role is responsible for reliability. The Role: In this role, you will partner with senior engineering and product leaders to bring clarity to reliability: what it means in practice, how we measure it, and where we need to improve. You will connect low-level system signals: incidents, performance, failure modes, to their impact on customers and the business, and use that understanding to shape decisions. You'll play a key role in ensuring reliability is built into how we design and operate systems from the outset, not treated as an afterthought. This includes identifying where we are falling short, highlighting the most important risks, and influencing how teams invest their time between building new capabilities and strengthening existing systems. Success in this role means that: Reliability improves in measurable ways across the platform Teams make better, more informed decisions because of your work Leadership has a clear, consistent view of reliability and its impact on customers This is a role for someone who combines analytical depth with strong judgement and a bias for impact: someone who wants to shape outcomes, not just describe them. About You: We're looking for someone who is obsessed with moving metrics, not just analysing them. We care far more about what you changed than what you built. You might be a strong analyst, product-minded data scientist, or even an ex-engineer, but what matters most is that you: Take ownership of outcomes, not just outputs Are comfortable operating in ambiguity and shaping problems Influence senior stakeholders without formal authority Care about real-world impact more than perfect models How You'll Work: Own the Reliability metrics end-to-end: definition, measurement, targets, and progress Partner deeply with engineering: understand systems, incidents, and trade-offs Drive decisions: bring clarity to complex problems and push for action Balance short vs long-term: incidents vs systemic improvements Create leverage: frameworks, dashboards, and narratives that scales Technical Expectations: Excellent SQL proficiency and experience with data visualization tools like Looker, Grafana, Lightdash, or Superset Ability to build and manage data pipelines that are modularised and scalable, using tools like DBT and Airflow Familiarity with observability/reliability concepts (SLIs, SLOs, incidents) Some experience with Python / data transformation (DBT, etc.) is helpful This is not a data engineering role, depth in pipelines is less important than impact on decisions. Why Should You Join Our Team? Own a company-level KPI: not a dashboard, but a real outcome High leverage: your work affects hundreds of engineers and millions of customers Complex, meaningful problems: distributed systems, real-time failures, trade-offs at scale Influence without authority: work directly with senior engineering leadership Benefits: Salary: £60,000-£85,000 Competitive stock options in a profitable company Flexible working conditions tailored to support a balance between work and personal life Annual budget for personal and professional development Additional Information Please note that Wise does not provide visa sponsorship for this role. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Commitment to Diversity: Wise is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunity in our employment practices.

Research Associate in In Vitro Models of Early Development SALARY: from £39,500 per annum (depending on skills and experience) JOB TYPE: 2 Year Fixed-Term, Full-Time Contract About us The Rosalind Franklin Institute (the Franklin) is a technology institute established by the UK Government as a unique centre committed to advancing tools that are needed to transform healthcare in the future. The Institute brings together researchers in life and physical sciences, and engineering, to develop a spectrum of tools which we will use to image, interpret and intervene in biological systems. These insights will speed up the discovery of new medicines, help find new diagnostics and contribute to a deeper understanding of human health and disease. Our Science Strategy seeks to focus the Franklin s research and unite our researchers around our Technology Innovation Challenges and Life Science Challenges. As a Research Associate at the Franklin, you will bring scientific knowledge and skills to deliver a specific research project and/or you will bring independent, creative science, or specific skills to a team delivering a project or program. Through this work, you will build scientific independence, develop new science and leadership skills, and establish a growing reputation externally. In this specific role, you will establish and maintain stem cell and blastoid culture systems that model key cell fate transitions during early human development. You will generate robust, reproducible biological systems that can be interrogated across molecular, cellular and structural scales, working closely with RFI experts in mass spectrometry, cryo-electron tomography, imaging, data science and AI. The appointee will ensure that these models are suitable for high-quality, multimodal data generation, enabling the identification of candidate molecular and structural determinants of cell fate decisions. They will also play a central role in closing the prediction validation loop: using computational predictions derived from these datasets to design, optimise and execute targeted validation experiments. More broadly, this role will help establish a biological testbed for understanding how cell fate is specified, maintained and redirected during early development. By linking stem cell and blastoid models with mass spectrometry, cryo-ET and AI-driven analysis, the work will contribute to the wider goal of building predictive, experimentally grounded models of how molecular organisation gives rise to cellular identity and developmental transitions. Key Responsibilities As a Research Associate you will: Take care of a stem cell line, including occasional weekend work. Learn and apply advanced research imaging techniques to understand the structural details of the stem cell line. Attend scientific seminars and meetings to keep up to date with developments in stem cell culture, use and imaging. Disseminate results through participating in the manuscript preparation process and presenting at scientific meetings. Contribute to the public engagement science programme of the Franklin. Plan and conduct experiments, analyse and interpret results and supervised delivery of outputs (e.g. research report, patent application) in a scientific/technology area of interest. Work within a project team, contributing to wider projects around Franklin's key Challenges. Lead major contributions to outputs from research including papers, patents and both internal and external presentations. Support and develop others including day-to-day supervision of students or visitors in areas related to own research. Have supervised, staged progression to first stages of scientific independence with opportunities to further develop science and skills/experience. Enhance your research through collaboration with other researchers and make active contributions to exchanging of ideas through your own network. Be able to understand, interpret, create and communicate appropriately within a research context. Develop search and discovery skills and techniques. Be supervised by a Scientist/Senior Scientist in delivery of research outputs, either in the context of a project or Challenge or as an early career development fellow. This job description sets out the skills and experience we believe are needed to be able to do this job but, research also tells us women are much more likely than men to take this list of requirements as absolute and self-select out of the process. If you think you can deliver this role then we want to hear from you, regardless of the boxes you did not tick. Whilst the role requires candidates to hold a PhD/DPhil (or equivalent), we may consider candidates who have submitted their PhD/DPhil thesis, in which case the initial appointment will be made at £38,500 per annum (to be increased on completion of the PhD/DPhil qualification). In return we offer: 25 days holidays plus bank holidays and Christmas holiday shutdown Generous pension scheme (employer s contribution currently up to 18%) Group Life Assurance (also known as Group Life Insurance or Death in Service) Buying and Selling Annual Leave Workplace Nursery Salary Sacrifice Scheme Hub building with state-of-the-art laboratories Hybrid and flexible working Training and development opportunities for staff at all levels Bus pass discount scheme and good transport links to Oxford and surrounding areas Cycle to Work Scheme Access to employee discount platform (Perkbox) Occupational Health and wellbeing support including Employee Assistance (24/7 support and counselling) Health Cash Plan Subsidised canteen and food outlets on campus Free on-site parking Campus location in beautiful countryside with social and sports clubs open to staff The Franklin s underlying aim is to produce the best science for research today, and this means resolutely embracing a diverse team, who have a wide range of experiences, skills and knowledge to push forward on the innovative work our institution delivers. Both our work and our institution are better for it. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every applicant has an equal opportunity to showcase their talents and abilities.
