Company mission
To transform lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders.
Role
Who you are
- Proficiency with AI coding agents for end-to-end application development
- Ability to write effective prompts and iterate to achieve desired outcomes
- Understanding of full-stack applications: frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure
- Familiarity with common architectural patterns (web applications, APIs, databases, queues)
- Awareness of fundamental design principles, common UI/UX patterns, and basic product development concepts
- Ability to read and interpret basic analytics (usage metrics, conversion rates, error rates)
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative, learning-oriented mindset
What the job involves
- As a Senior AI Native Software Engineer, you direct AI agents to build products and solutions, rather than writing code directly
- You leverage AI coding agents to replace manual tasks, build and ship entire applications and basic agents end-to-end
- You're a full-stack product builder who thinks in terms of "I need to solve this customer problem" and orchestrates AI to get there. You are measured by the speed of delivery and the robustness of what you ship, not the volume of your commits
- Build complete applications, workflow automations, and basic agents within your team's product area using AI coding agents
- Translate customer needs into buildable specifications and ship solutions from requirements through deployment
- Instrument solutions to track usage and outcomes, iterating based on what you learn
- Evaluate AI-generated output against Remitly's standards for security, privacy, reliability, and quality before shipping
- Participate in customer conversations to understand acute problems and identify automation opportunities
- Document your approaches, effective prompts, and patterns for the team
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.
