What the job involves
- The Canada Regional Team is responsible for deepening Remitly’s connection with customers in Canada by optimizing and innovating the regional experience across our platform
- Our mission is to ensure customers in Canada have a seamless, localized, and trusted experience when sending money to their loved ones around the world
- As part of this team, you will focus on enhancing the end-to-end customer journey — from onboarding and payment experiences to compliance and delivery — specifically tailored to the needs of our Canadian senders
- You’ll collaborate closely with both cross-functional partners (in product, design, marketing, and operations) and cross-engineering teams across Remitly to identify opportunities for growth, deliver impactful features, and strengthen Remitly’s position as the most customer-centric remittance provider in Canada
- Design, build, and maintain scalable systems that power and localize the Canadian customer experience, in close partnership with global and regional engineering teams
- Partner with product and data teams to analyze performance and customer feedback, using insights to drive localized improvements

- Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and system design to ensure high-quality, maintainable, and resilient 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.
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.
