As a Senior Software Development Engineer on the High Value Send Experience team, you’ll build the systems that earn the trust of Remitly’s high‑value senders—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 will:

• 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.
• Lead technical design and architecture for complex systems that power the High Value Send experience— breaking down ambiguous, greenfield problems into clear technical strategies and measurable outcomes.
• Ship 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.
• Operate AI‑natively because it’s how one person outships a team of ten.
• Partner with product, design, analytics, and partner engineering teams to translate goals into scalable technical solutions for a diverse global customer base.
• Strengthen engineering culture by mentoring teammates, leading technical discussions, providing meaningful code review feedback, and advocating for best practices in coding, testing, and system design as we grow this team.

• 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.
