If that's you and you're ready to do the most meaningful work of your career-we invite you to join over 2,800 passionate Remitlians worldwide who are united by our vision to transform lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders.\nAbout the Role:\nAs a Senior Full-Stack Software Development Engineer, you will own meaningful features end-to-end - from technical design through production - partnering closely with product, design, and fellow engineers to build systems our customers can trust with their most important transactions. You will operate independently, solve problems that span multiple systems and stakeholders, and help set the technical bar for the team around you. You will report to an Engineering Manager and work in a hybrid capacity from our office.\nYou Will:\nOwn features end-to-end. Design, implement, test, and operate the services and interfaces you build. Take pride in the quality, reliability, and observability of what ships to production, from first commit onward.\nLead technical design. Break down complex, ambiguous problems into well-sequenced, parallelizable work. Write clear technical specs, provide accurate estimates, and surface trade-offs so the team builds the right thing, not just the specified thing.\nRaise the engineering bar. Write high-quality, well-tested code and conduct meaningful code and design reviews. Apply strong practices in reliability, security, and observability. Use AI-assisted tools thoughtfully to move faster, while owning the correctness and architecture that tooling alone can't guarantee.\nDrive cross-team collaboration. Partner with Product, Design, and adjacent engineering teams to align on requirements, dependencies, and delivery plans. Help resolve technical disagreements and unblock related work.\nMentor and grow peers. Be a go-to resource for other engineers through pairing, code review, and design feedback. Represent Remitly's technical standards and values in interviews and hiring.\nOperate what you build. Participate in on-call rotations and share ownership of your team's production systems. Proactively reduce toil and resolve root causes, not just symptoms.\nYou Have:\n6+ years of software engineering experience, with a demonstrated ability to independently design and ship production systems at scale.\nStrong backend fundamentals - experience building, scaling, and operating distributed services in a language such as Go, Java, Python, or Kotlin.\nComfort working across the stack, including building or integrating with customer-facing interfaces (e.g., React/TypeScript), even if backend is your primary focus.\nExperience designing secure, scalable, and performant systems on cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS).\nA track record of leading feature development across a team - breaking down work, writing specs, coordinating dependencies, and delivering on commitments.\nStrong fundamentals in system design: data modeling, API design, service reliability, and performance trade-offs.\nExperience with observability and production operations - instrumenting code, reading dashboards, and debugging under pressure.\nA track record of mentoring engineers and contributing to team technical standards.\nClear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.\nA degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\nNice to have: experience in payments, fintech, or money movement.\nCompensation Details.
