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. We're looking for builders, reimaginers, and global thinkers who want to work at the intersection of technology, trust, and transformation. If that's you and you're ready to do the most meaningful work of your career—we invite you to join over 2,800 passionate Remitlians worldwide who are united by our vision to transform lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders.About the role
The Core Transfer Experience team owns the systems and product surfaces that power frictionless cross-border transfers for millions of Remitly customers. From the moment a customer initiates a transfer to the moment funds arrive, our team is responsible for delivering an experience that is fast, reliable, and trusted across 5,300+ corridors; removing friction at every step of the journey.
What makes this team unique is that we operate in two capacities simultaneously: as a product team, delivering the core transfer experience directly to customers, and as a foundations team, building the platform capabilities that regional and product teams across Remitly depend on to serve their own customers and markets. Getting both right and keeping them in sync, is one of the defining engineering challenges of this role.
As a Staff Software Engineer on Core Transfer Experience, you will serve as a technical leader who can reason across the entire customer experience; from the interfaces customers interact with to the distributed systems that orchestrate each transfer. You will shape the architecture and evolution of Remitly's most critical customer journey: driving domain-level technical strategy, partnering across product, design, and engineering, and raising the engineering bar across your team and the customer teams that depend on you.
You will report to the Director of Engineering, Core Transfer Experience and work in a hybrid capacity from our Burnaby office.
