Role
Who you are
- A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of engineering experience in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment
- Experience as a full stack engineer with React/TypeScript and Go
- Experience designing secure, scalable, performant software on cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS)
- Experience leading engineers on large features in partnership with Product Management and other stakeholders — breaking work into workstreams, estimating timelines, and coaching through reviews and retrospectives
- Comfort with, or strong enthusiasm for, AI-assisted development tools as a force multiplier
- Clear, objective written and in-person communication, including the ability to articulate technical trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Nice to have: experience in payments, fintech, or money movement
What the job involves
- As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer on Remitly Business, you will build product and platform across both sides of this marketplace — from customer-facing onboarding and payment experiences to the services, APIs, and money-movement flows beneath them
- You will be a key technical voice on a senior, cross-functional team, owning features end to end and raising the quality bar for those around you. You will report to the Engineering Manager and work hybrid from our Vancouver office
- Design and ship full stack features end to end — from React frontends to backend services, APIs, and data — breaking complex work into parallel workstreams and driving it from design through launch
- Use modern AI-assisted and spec-driven development to move faster, while owning the architecture, correctness, and quality that tooling cannot guarantee on its own
- Set the technical standard with systems that are well-tested, resilient, extensible, and scalable, and that make it easy for others to contribute
- Build for money movement at scale, delivering idempotent, observable flows with correct ledgering, reconciliation, and compliance gating
- Uphold our Foundational Excellence standards for security, reliability, and observability, resolving risks before they become incidents
- Develop and deliver short- and long-term roadmaps, making tradeoffs across priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
- Mentor and grow the team through code, design, and architecture reviews, and represent Remitly's values and technical bar in interviews
- Collaborate with partners across Product, Design, Analytics, Compliance, Infrastructure, and Operations to turn customer needs into scalable solutions
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.
