Job Description:
At Remitly, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to access, move, and manage their money wherever life takes them. 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.About the role:
Join us as a Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE III) on Remitly's Global Experience Platform team! Our mission is to make Remitly's products globally-ready by design - building the internationalization infrastructure, translation pipelines, and AI-powered tooling that let every customer experience Remitly as locally made, whatever their language, script, or locale.
Your work will reach millions of customers across 18+ languages and 175+ countries. You'll help Remitly launch new countries and languages faster and raise the quality of localized experiences in existing markets - bringing AI into the core of how we translate, validate, and scale content, alongside deep i18n engineering. You'll partner directly with our Localization team and report to a Kraków-based Manager.

You Will:
Own complex, team-level projects end-to-end: clarify requirements, break work into parallel tasks, and guide teammates toward on-time delivery.
Build AI/LLM-powered translation and orchestration tooling: evaluate models, design quality guardrails, and integrate them into production localization pipelines.
Build and maintain localization infrastructure, translation pipelines, and i18n tooling, integrated with translation management systems (TMS).
Design CI/CD-integrated solutions for locale-specific rendering (currency, date/time, numeric formats), text extraction and translation workflows, and pseudo-locale validation.
Standardize i18n frameworks and libraries across frontend and backend systems for correct handling of date/time, currency, pluralization, and message formatting.
Build static code analysis and linting tooling to catch i18n defects before release, and harden existing code paths to eliminate recurring localization bugs.
Expand Remitly's language coverage: right-to-left and bidirectional support, and transliteration tooling for accurate customer identity matching across scripts.
Operate what you build: monitor, debug, and improve the reliability of your services, tooling, and translation pipelines in production.
Partner across our backend and frontend stacks with backend, mobile, web, and content teams, and mentor other engineers through code reviews and design discussions.
You Have:
6+ years of software development experience, including internationalization/localization engineering and leading delivery of complex features within a team.
Strong programming ability in Go and JavaScript/TypeScript - including React Native and modern web frameworks (Next.js, Astro) - or deep experience in a comparable ecosystem (Java, Kotlin, C#/.NET) with a track record of picking up new stacks quickly.
Experience applying AI/LLMs in production workflows, with sound judgment about where automation should and shouldn't replace human review; translation or content pipeline experience is ideal.
Working knowledge of internationalization standards and locale-aware formatting (Unicode, ICU/CLDR-based libraries).
Proven ability to build or evolve localization systems and translation pipelines at scale.
Experience with modern software development practices, including code reviews and secure coding standards, and strong cross-functional collaboration skills.
Nice to have:
Demonstrated experience shipping RTL/bidirectional language support in production.
Experience with localizability audits and pseudo-locale validation.
Hands-on experience with TMS platforms (Lokalise, Phrase, Smartling, Transifex), ICU/CLDR internals, and localization interchange formats (XLIFF).
Experience in fintech or another regulated industry.
