Job description

You Have:

• Experience leading a multi-team engineering organization distributed across countries and time zones, including hiring senior engineers and developing managers
• A record of setting multi-year technical strategy for cloud infrastructure and turning it into roadmaps, OKRs, and headcount plans that stay ahead of product demand
• Sound judgment on long-horizon architecture decisions (account structure, multi-region, multi-cloud) at a scale of thousands of accounts
• A history of building self-service platforms that scale infrastructure without linear headcount growth, measured by adoption across product teams
• Ownership of cloud spend as a business outcome, making cost, performance, and reliability tradeoffs with finance and engineering leadership
• Comfort operating as a working manager: capable of writing code, reviewing architecture, and going deep on technical problems, not just managing from a distance
• Clear written communication that aligns senior stakeholders across geographies and functions

Skills and Technologies:

• Software engineering in Go or Python for internal services and APIs
• Cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure, managed through IaC (Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation) and API-driven control planes
• Multi-account governance: account vending, organization policies, IAM, and policy as code (OPA, Sentinel, or similar)
• Networking across multi-region, hybrid, and edge architectures: VPC and transit design, IPAM, BGP, private connectivity and VPN, DNS, CDN, and WAF
• Kubernetes, GitOps, and observability, including SLO definition and multi-region failover testing
• FinOps practices: cost allocation and tagging, unit economics, and commitment management
• Security and compliance for regulated financial services (PCI DSS, SOC 2)

Remitly's Builder Platform organization is responsible for the infrastructure that powers a global, always-on remittance business. The Cloud Engineering team owns the cloud primitives, networking, and automation that every product team builds on.

We're hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead this team across Krakow and the US. This is a hands-on role for someone who still wants to be close to the technical work while building and developing a high-performing engineering organization.

Responsibilities

• Champion an AI-first engineering culture
• driving the integration of AI agents, MCP tooling, and automated agentic systems into everything we do to transform infrastructure management and maximize team leverage
• Drive FinOps and cost optimization practices across cloud spend
• partnering with finance and engineering stakeholders to balance cost, performance, and reliability
• Own IaC strategy for cloud primitives
• building reusable, repeatable system patterns that other teams can adopt rather than reinvent
• Architect for global presence and high resiliency
• leveraging edge computing and multi-region, multi-cloud/hybrid strategies
• Lead and grow an engineering team spanning Krakow and the US, setting technical vision and direction focusing on self-service builder experience and holding a high bar for infrastructure-as-code, automation, and operational excellence
• Stay hands-on: review designs and code, get into incidents when needed, and maintain enough technical depth to make credible calls on architecture and tradeoffs
• Partner cross-functionally with Security, SRE, and Builder Experience on shared infrastructure solutions to provide a world-class self-service builder experience
• Partner with cross-functional teams and external partners on network expansion, VPN setup, and seamless network integration
• Own the comprehensive network strategy for edge computing, multi-account, and multi-region architectures
