About this Senior AI Native Software Engineer role at Remitly

Remitly · Hybrid · Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

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:

As a Senior AI Native Software Engineer, you direct AI agents to build products and solutions, rather than writing code directly. You leverage AI coding agents to replace manual tasks, build and ship entire applications and basic agents end-to-end. You're a full-stack product builder who thinks in terms of "I need to solve this customer problem" and orchestrates AI to get there. You are measured by the speed of delivery and the robustness of what you ship, not the volume of your commits.

You Will:

  • Build complete applications, workflow automations, and basic agents within your team's product area using AI coding agents
  • Translate customer needs into buildable specifications and ship solutions from requirements through deployment
  • Instrument solutions to track usage and outcomes, iterating based on what you learn
  • Evaluate AI-generated output against Remitly's standards for security, privacy, reliability, and quality before shipping
  • Participate in customer conversations to understand acute problems and identify automation opportunities
  • Document your approaches, effective prompts, and patterns for the team

You Have:

  • Proficiency with AI coding agents for end-to-end application development
  • Ability to write effective prompts and iterate to achieve desired outcomes
  • Understanding of full-stack applications: frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure
  • Familiarity with common architectural patterns (web applications, APIs, databases, queues)
  • Awareness of fundamental design principles, common UI/UX patterns, and basic product development concepts
  • Ability to read and interpret basic analytics (usage metrics, conversion rates, error rates)
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative, learning-oriented mindset

Compensation Details. The starting base salary range for this position is $152,000-$190,000. In Canada, Remitly employees are shareholders in our Company and equity is part of our total compensation plan. Your recruiter can share more information about medical benefits offered, as well as other financial benefits and total compensation components offered with this role.

Our Benefits

  • Four weeks vacation
  • Health Benefits
  • Mental Health & Family Forming Benefits
  • RRSP plan with company match
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
  • Life Insurance & Disability
  • Continuing education

Our Connected Work Culture: Driving Innovation, Together

At Remitly, we believe that true innovation sparks when we come together. Our Connected Work Culture fosters dynamic in-person collaboration, where ideas ignite and challenging problems find solutions faster.

These intentional in-office moments are vital for deepening relationships, fueling creativity, and ensuring your impact is felt where it matters most.
