What the job involves

Global Network (GNET) is looking for a full stack, front-end leaning Sr. SDE to join Remitly and help scale their network management services and network management tooling worldwide
As a Sr. SDE, you will bring exciting features to our customers and help shape & build a roadmap of full-stack features to enhance the performance of our global pay-in and pay-out network
You will report to an Engineering Manager for Global Network Experience and Performance (GNX) and will lead projects that support both efficient manual network performance management (tooling UIs, validation services, and engaging operations engineers for manual configuration changes) and automated network management (supported by machine learning, automated network monitoring, and "intelligent routing".)
Deploy your expertise in technical writing, distributed systems architecture, coding, and software development processes to design & develop front-end tooling components that allow developers to easily build delightful internal user interfaces for managing our dynamic pay-in and pay-out networks
Participate in the brainstorming, technical design, and grooming of the next generation of GraphQL back end APIs to share data on network status and configuration
Provide technical leadership to operations engineers and junior FTEs to resolve recurring customer-facing network configuration problems
Become an expert on the tools, programming languages, and engineering processes that GNX and the broader GNET team use to deliver well-tested, observable, documented, efficient, scalable, and resilient solutions
Contribute to a culture of engineering excellence and quality, including participating in interviewing, code reviews, sprint rituals, and providing constructive feedback, and collaborate with team members to continuously improve code quality and 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.

However, 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 recent introduction of Passbook, an app that allows customers to access digital banking through a partner bank.
