Job description

About the Role:

As a Staff Software Engineer on the High Value Send Experience team, you will build the systems that earn the trust of Remitly's high value senders. These are customers moving large transfers for real estate, education, long-term investments, and other milestones that shape their financial futures across borders. This full-stack role spans customer-facing web and mobile experiences and deep partnership with foundational teams across identity and trust, money movement, pricing, and more. You'll partner with product, design, and engineering peers to define what it means to earn customer trust on their most consequential transfers --- for customers sending more, with more on the line. You will report to the Engineering Manager for the team.

You Will:

• Operate AI-natively because it's how one person outships a team of ten.
• Champion the customer experience by using customer signal, product instincts, and data to inform technical decisions --- translating what high value senders need into the systems that serve them.
• Own technical design and architecture for complex systems that power the High Value Send experience --- breaking down ambiguous, greenfield problems into clear technical strategies and delivering 0-to-1 product experiences.
• Raise the bar for delivering reliable, observable, and scalable systems across web, mobile, and backend services that meet strict availability and latency SLOs for the customer flows where trust matters most.
• Partner with product, design, analytics, and partner engineering teams to translate goals into scalable technical solutions for a diverse global customer base.
• Drive an engineering culture of excellence by mentoring teammates, driving technical decision making, upholding architecture standards, and setting and advocating for best practices in coding, testing, and system design as we grow this team.

You Have:

• Use AI tools in your own software development workflow to reimagine software delivery. From leveraging agents that act as force-multipliers that help you scale, to drafting and iterating on technical specs, prototyping or validating concepts using the Claude Code.
• Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience.
• 10+ years of professional software development experience, with experience building and operating systems end-to-end.
• Expertise building customer-facing experiences at product scale with TypeScript, React, and native mobile development (iOS/Android, React Native).
• Expertise in one or more modern backend languages such as Java, Kotlin, Go, or Python, with a record of delivering production-quality code.
• Demonstrated experience designing and building distributed, large-scale domains with architecture segmentation that enables the next level of product scale.
• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, including familiarity with managed services.
• Bonus: Experience in FinTech, payments, or other regulated industries where reliability, security, and compliance shape engineering decisions.
