About the role

Job Description: At Remitly, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to access, move, and manage their money wherever life takes them. Since 2011, we’ve tirelessly delivered on our promise to customers sending money globally, providing secure, simple, and reliable ways to manage their money, ensuring true peace of mind. Whether it’s supporting loved ones back home, growing a business across continents, or pursuing new opportunities abroad, we’re not just here to move money— we’re here to move our global customers forward.

We’re looking for builders, reimaginers, and global thinkers who want to work at the intersection of technology, trust, and transformation. If that’s you and you’re ready to do the most meaningful work of your career—we invite you to join over 2,800 passionate Remitlians worldwide who are united by our vision to transform lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders.

About the Role:

Remitly's Builder Platform organization is responsible for the infrastructure that powers a global, always-on remittance business. The Cloud Engineering team owns the cloud primitives, networking, and automation that every product team builds on. As an AI-first engineering organization, we leverage AI, agentic workflows, and LLM integrations as core components in how we design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure at scale, managing our environment through code and treating repeatable patterns as products.

We're hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead this team across Krakow and the US. This is a hands-on role for someone who still wants to be close to the technical work while building and developing a high-performing engineering organization.

You Will:

- Champion an AI-first engineering culture, driving the integration of AI agents, MCP tooling, and automated agentic systems into everything we do to transform infrastructure management and maximize team leverage

- Drive FinOps and cost optimization practices across cloud spend, partnering with finance and engineering stakeholders to balance cost, performance, and reliability

- Own IaC strategy for cloud primitives, building reusable, repeatable system patterns that other teams can adopt rather than reinvent

- Architect for global presence and high resiliency, leveraging edge computing and multi-region, multi-cloud/hybrid strategies

- Lead and grow an engineering team spanning Krakow and the US, setting technical vision and direction focusing on self-service builder experience and holding a high bar for infrastructure-as-code, automation, and operational excellence

- Stay hands-on: review designs and code, get into incidents when needed, and maintain enough technical depth to make credible calls on architecture and tradeoffs

- Partner cross-functionally with Security, SRE, and Builder Experience on shared infrastructure solutions to provide a world-class self-service builder experience

- Partner with cross-functional teams and external partners on network expansion, VPN setup, and seamless network integration
