What the job involves
- At Remitly, our mission is to transform lives by building trusted financial services that transcend borders
- Each year, millions of customers send billions of dollars across 170+ countries, directly impacting families and communities worldwide

- In this role, you'll collaborate with machine learning and infrastructure teams to design systems that enable seamless model experimentation, training, deployment, serving, and evaluation
- Your work will accelerate how quickly data science ideas turn into customer impact—at a global scale
- You'll report to the ML Platform Engineering Manager and play a critical role in defining and building the foundation for Remitly's future AI-driven products

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.
