- Proficiency in at least one front end language such as ReactJS or Vue
- Experience building and operating production services
- Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS
- Experience with relational and non-relational databases
- Strong software design fundamentals with the ability to write clean, well-tested, maintainable code
- Experience writing automated tests and working within CI/CD environments
- Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly within a team setting
Desirable
- Experience with DynamoDB or other large-scale NoSQL data stores
- Experience working on distributed systems
- Experience with GraphQL or API gateway design
- Experience with document or image processing, or integrating third-party verification vendors
- Familiarity with handling sensitive or regulated data (PII, KYC/identity verification)
- Familiarity with observability and operational best practices
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Software Development Engineer II (SDE2) to join the Trust Experience (TREX) team within the Identity & Trust organization. TREX builds and operates the systems that collect and manage the evidence Remitly uses to verify customers: questions, document and selfie capture, evidence requests, and verified identity data from external providers. Our platform runs on AWS and supports high-availability services that are critical to customer onboarding, the customer experience, and Remitly's regulatory obligations. Many of these services handle sensitive customer data, so reliability, security, and care with that data are core to the work
- As an SDE2, you will design and build high-quality backend services and APIs across a subset of the team's systems. You will operate independently in code construction, testing, deployment, and maintenance. You will own features end-to-end, handle challenging problems with clear constraints and trade-offs, and contribute to improving system quality, reliability, and performance
- Design and implement modular, maintainable backend services and APIs
- Own features or functional areas from technical design through production support
- Contribute to design discussions and propose trade-offs for consideration
- Work with relational and non-relational databases (e.g. DynamoDB) and file/object storage to implement reliable, secure data access patterns for sensitive customer data
- Integrate with third-party identity and document-verification vendors
- Improve code quality, testing, deployment, logging, and monitoring practices
- Provide thoughtful code and design reviews
- Identify and mitigate technical and delivery risks
- Partner with engineers, Product, Design, and Compliance/Risk stakeholders to clarify requirements and deliver solutions
- Support onboarding of new engineers and contribute to a strong team culture
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.
