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:
We're part of the Builder Platform - the team building the foundation Remitly's engineering runs on. That foundation is no longer just for people: we're building for AI agents as first-class users of our platform too. It's a real shift in how software gets built here, and we're on the leading edge of it. If you want to shape cloud infrastructure for both the developers and the agents that will build on it, this is that seat.
The Cloud Team designs, builds, and operates Remitly's AWS cloud foundation - the networking fabric and infrastructure tooling that every product team depends on. We manage cloud infrastructure at significant scale (hundreds to thousands of accounts), move money for millions of customers, and treat reliability, security, and operational excellence as non-negotiable.
As a Cloud Engineer, you'll focus on our cloud networking stack and the infrastructure-as-code that defines it. You'll design and build network topology in Terraform, operate connectivity that every product team and payments partner depends on, and troubleshoot complex issues across a large multi-account, multi-region AWS environment. You'll work alongside senior engineers who lead our larger architecture and platform-software efforts, growing your depth as you take on more ownership over time.
This is also a great fit if you're a strong networking or DevOps engineer who wants to grow into writing code. You'll manage and operate networks at real scale, and you'll get the room - and the support - to level up from Terraform into building and maintaining Go services that run our platform. We'll back you learning to code here, not just tolerate it.
You Will:
- Design, build, and evolve Remitly's cloud networking in Terraform: VPC design and subnetting, routing, Transit Gateway, DNS, and load balancing across a multi-account, multi-region topology.
- Own and operate our partner and bank connectivity network - VPNs (IPSec/IKEv2), Direct Connect, and BGP routing to financial partners worldwide.
- Help operate and improve our edge infrastructure - CloudFront distributions, AWS Shield, WAF configurations, and CDN failover strategies.
- Troubleshoot complex network issues across distributed cloud environments, applying knowledge of TCP/IP protocols, routing, and traffic flow analysis.
- Write clean, modular, reviewable Terraform, and improve how our infrastructure is structured, versioned, tested, deployed, and monitored.
- Own delivery of well-scoped infrastructure work end to end: break requirements into tasks, estimate your own effort, and ship high-quality, well-tested changes.
- Contribute to multi-account governance and the paved-path abstractions that reduce cognitive load for the broader engineering org - for both human developers and AI agents.
- Collaborate with SRE, Security, and Platform teams to embed observability, compliance, and operational excellence into our cloud foundation.
- Participate in the on-call rotation (5-person weekly rotation); occasional late syncs with Seattle (4-6 PM CET).
You Have:
- Deep knowledge of cloud networking: VPC design and subnetting, routing, Transit Gateway, DNS, and load balancing.
- Solid understanding of TCP/IP and network traffic flow analysis, with the ability to troubleshoot connectivity issues across distributed environments.
- Strong hands-on experience building and operating infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred).
- 3+ years of experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure, with hands-on AWS depth.
- Experience operating production infrastructure, and an understanding of best practices for versioning, deployment, and CI/CD.
- Familiarity with edge services (CloudFront, WAF, Shield) or partner connectivity (VPN, Direct Connect, BGP) is a plus.
- Understanding of multi-account governance and organizational tooling; Kubernetes/EKS familiarity is a plus.
- A desire to grow into writing code (we use Go); existing backend/scripting experience is a plus, but we'll help you build this skill on the job.
