Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production systems, products, or platforms
- 1+ years of demonstrated proficiency using AI coding agents or similar generative AI development tools for end-to-end application delivery
- Strong ability to decompose problems, write effective prompts, evaluate outputs critically, and iterate until solutions meet quality expectations
- Solid understanding of full-stack application development, including frontend, backend, APIs, data stores, and cloud infrastructure
- Experience with common architectural patterns such as web applications, service-oriented systems, databases, queues, and event-driven workflows
- Strong product sense and the ability to connect customer problems to practical, high-impact technical solutions
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with sound judgment around secure and responsible software delivery
What the job involves
- As a Senior AI Native Software Engineer, you will build customer-facing products, internal tools, and workflow automations by directing AI agents to accelerate software development
- You will operate as a hands-on builder who starts from a customer or operational problem, translates it into clear specifications, orchestrates AI tools to produce robust solutions, and ensures what ships meets Remitly's standards for security, privacy, reliability, and quality
- In this role, you are expected to independently drive ambiguous problem spaces, shape technical patterns for the team, and raise the overall effectiveness of AI-native software development
- You will also help define best practices for prompt design, agent orchestration, evaluation, and the responsible adoption of AI-native development workflows
- You'll build and ship complete applications, workflow automations, and AI-powered tools within your team's product area using AI coding agents and related development tooling
- Translate ambiguous customer and business needs into structured requirements, technical plans, and production-ready solutions
- Own delivery from concept through deployment, including architecture, implementation, instrumentation, testing, rollout, and iteration
- Evaluate AI-generated code and artifacts against Remitly's standards for security, privacy, reliability, maintainability, and product quality before shipping
- Partner across engineering, product, design, data, and platform teams to deliver scalable end-to-end solutions
- Use metrics and analytics to assess adoption, quality, and business outcomes, and drive iterative improvements based on data
- Mentor other engineers in AI-native development practices and contribute reusable approaches, documentation, and team standards
Our take
Since its inception in 2011, Remitly has focussed on helping immigrants to send money across the world faster, cheaper and easier. The company has grown exponentially since then and now operates across multiple continents. Remitly put down most of its success on putting its customers first.
The emergence of digital banks with low transaction fees cross-country has increased competition in a space where Remitly was dominant for many years. The company must continue to innovate its product to ensure it is the go-to place for these types of payments.
That said, Remitly continues to partner with exciting companies and improve their service for loyal customers. The company is setting its sights beyond its core remittance service, such as through the introduction of Passbook, an app that allows customers to access digital banking through a partner bank.
