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:

As a Senior Full-Stack Software Development Engineer, you will own meaningful features end-to-end — from technical design through production — partnering closely with product, design, and fellow engineers to build systems our customers can trust with their most important transactions. You will operate independently, solve problems that span multiple systems and stakeholders, and help set the technical bar for the team around you. You will report to an Engineering Manager and work in a hybrid capacity from our office.

You Will:

- Own features end-to-end. Design, implement, test, and operate the services and interfaces you build. Take pride in the quality, reliability, and observability of what ships to production, from first commit onward.

- Lead technical design. Break down complex, ambiguous problems into well-sequenced, parallelizable work. Write clear technical specs, provide accurate estimates, and surface trade-offs so the team builds the right thing, not just the specified thing.

- Raise the engineering bar. Write high-quality, well-tested code and conduct meaningful code and design reviews. Apply strong practices in reliability, security, and observability. Use AI-assisted tools thoughtfully to move faster, while owning the correctness and architecture that tooling alone can't guarantee.

- Drive cross-team collaboration. Partner with Product, Design, and adjacent engineering teams to align on requirements, dependencies, and delivery plans. Help resolve technical disagreements and unblock related work.

- Mentor and grow peers. Be a go-to resource for other engineers through pairing, code review, and design feedback. Represent Remitly's technical standards and values in interviews and hiring.

- Operate what you build. Participate in on-call rotations and share ownership of your team's production systems. Proactively reduce toil and resolve root causes, not just symptoms.

You Have:

- 6+ years of software engineering experience, with a demonstrated ability to independently design and ship production systems at scale.
