Job summary

Remitly is seeking a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer for Remitly Business in Seattle. You will build product and platform across both sides of the marketplace, from onboarding to money-movement services, owning features end-to-end on a cross-functional team.

You will design and ship full stack features, mentor teammates, and help establish scalable, secure operations using React/TypeScript, Go, and AWS. Hybrid in-office schedule is expected.

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of engineering experience in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment.
• Experience as a full stack engineer with React/TypeScript and Go.
• Experience designing secure, scalable, performant software on cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS).
• Experience leading engineers on large features in partnership with Product Management and other stakeholders - breaking work into workstreams, estimating timelines, and coaching through reviews and retrospectives.
• Comfort with, or strong enthusiasm for, AI-assisted development tools as a force multiplier.
• Clear, objective written and in-person communication, including the ability to articulate technical trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Nice to have: experience in payments, fintech, or money movement.

Responsibilities

• Design and ship full stack features end to end - from React frontends to backend services, APIs, and data - breaking complex work into parallel workstreams and driving it from design through launch.
• Use modern AI-assisted and spec-driven development to move faster, while owning the architecture, correctness, and quality that tooling cannot guarantee on its own.
• Set the technical standard with systems that are well-tested, resilient, extensible, and scalable, and that make it easy for others to contribute.
• Build for money movement at scale, delivering idempotent, observable flows with correct ledgering, reconciliation, and compliance gating.
• Uphold our Foundational Excellence standards for security, reliability, and observability, resolving risks before they become incidents.
• Develop and deliver short- and long-term roadmaps, making tradeoffs across priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation.
• Mentor and grow the team through code, design, and architecture reviews, and represent Remitly's values and technical bar in interviews.
• Collaborate with partners across Product, Design, Analytics, Compliance, Infrastructure, and Operations to turn customer needs into scalable solutions.
