About the role
- You'll take well-scoped, ambiguous problems - from a new savings feature to a new disbursement integration - and turn them into reliable, secure, production-grade systems used by millions of people.
Responsibilities
- Design & Build Receiver Financial Services
- Design and deliver backend services and features that power receivers' ability to save and spend money in their home countries - from account structures to transaction flows.
- Write clear technical designs and RFCs for your own projects, incorporating feedback from senior and principal engineers.
- Build integrations between receiver-side capabilities and Remitly's global money-movement infrastructure - disbursements, FX, liquidity, and compliance systems.
- Build with Security & Compliance in Mind
- Implement least-privilege access, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit trails as standard practice.
- Participate in threat-modeling exercises and resolve vulnerabilities in the services you own.
- Build services that perform reliably under real production load and scale gracefully as the receiver base grows.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including designing and operating production distributed systems.
Nice to have
- Exposure to payments infrastructure: card rails, ACH, real-time payment networks, mobile money, or digital wallets.
- Familiarity with AML/KYC frameworks, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2 in a software context.
- Mission that matters: every line of code you write moves real money for real families.
- Meaningful ownership: ship features and services end-to-end on a new, fast-moving product surface.
- Growth path: close partnership with senior and principal engineers, with a clear track toward Staff-level scope.
- Remitly is an equal opportunity employer.
- We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
- We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
