Since 2011, we've tirelessly delivered on our promise to customers sending money globally, providing secure, simple, and reliable ways to manage their money, ensuring true peace of mind. Whether it's supporting loved ones back home, growing a business across continents, or pursuing new opportunities abroad, we're not just here to move money— we're here to move our global customers forward. We're looking for builders, reimaginers, and global thinkers who want to work at the intersection of technology, trust, and transformation. 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.

About the Role

The Cloud Team designs, builds, and operates Remitly's AWS cloud foundation - the networking fabric and infrastructure tooling that every product team depends on. We manage cloud infrastructure at significant scale (hundreds to thousands of accounts), move money for millions of customers, and treat reliability, security, and operational excellence as non-negotiable. This is not an ops or tooling-configuration role: we need engineers who can design and build scalable systems and services, not just apply Terraform.

You Will

• Lead architecture decisions on cloud topology, multi-account governance, cross-region connectivity, and platform abstractions used by every engineering team.
• Own and evolve our edge infrastructure - CloudFront distributions, AWS Shield, WAF configurations, CDN failover strategies, and latency-optimized routing
• Build and maintain production Go services and CLI tooling that automate, observe, and extend our cloud platform at scale - this means writing software systems, not just scripts or IaC.
• Design and operate Remitly's global partner and bank connectivity network - VPNs (IPSec/IKEv2), Direct Connect, BGP routing to financial partners worldwide, and the broader multi-account, multi-region topology that underlies all of Remitly's payments infrastructure.
• Collaborate with SRE, Security, and Platform teams to embed observability, compliance, and operational excellence into cloud paved pathways.
• Troubleshoot complex network issues across distributed cloud environments, applying deep knowledge of TCP/IP protocols and traffic flow analysis.
• Participate in on-call rotation (5-person weekly rotation); occasional late syncs with Seattle (4–6 PM CET).

You Have

• 5+ years of experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure - with significant hands‑on AWS depth.
• Strong proficiency in at least one backend language; Go experience is strongly preferred.
• Deep knowledge of cloud networking: VPC design and subnetting, routing, Transit Gateway, DNS, load balancing.
• Experience with edge infrastructure management: CloudFront distributions, AWS Shield, WAF configurations, and CDN failover Strategies.
• Experience building and operating infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred).
• Understanding of cloud and infrastructure management concepts, including multi-account governance and organizational tooling; Kubernetes/EKS familiarity is a plus.

Our Benefits

• Equity in the company – RSUs
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
• 26 days paid holiday + additional company days off
• Royalties (KUP)
• Hybrid working model (our office is in the Kraków City Centre)
• Commute allowance
• Health/Dental Coverage – LUX MED VIP for employee and family
• Life Insurance
• Travel Insurance
• Pluxee Lunch Card/Multisport Card
• Education Budget
• Mental Health program for employee
