About this Senior Software Engineer role at Remitly

Remitly · Hybrid · Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

Job Description:

Remitly is on a mission to transform the lives of immigrants and their families by providing the most trusted financial products and services on the planet. Since 2011, we have been tirelessly delivering on our promises to immigrants sending their hard-earned money home. Today, we are reimagining international payments at scale and building new products to create deeper relationships with our customers and their loved ones across the globe. Join over 2,700 employees across 10 offices who are growing their careers while having a positive impact on people globally.

About the Role

Remitly Business is building a two-sided platform that helps businesses and individuals in emerging markets move money across borders. On the send side, we let businesses pay vendors, suppliers, and contractors abroad. On the receive side, we let businesses and sellers to get paid in USD, hold balances in stable currency, and withdraw across Remitly's 170+ country disbursement network.

As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer on Remitly Business, you will build product and platform across both sides of this marketplace — from customer-facing onboarding and payment experiences to the services, APIs, and money-movement flows beneath them. You will be a key technical voice on a senior, cross-functional team, owning features end to end and raising the quality bar for those around you. You will report to the Engineering Manager and work hybrid from our Vancouver office.

You Will

  • Design and ship full stack features end to end — from React frontends to backend services, APIs, and data — breaking complex work into parallel workstreams and driving it from design through launch.
  • Use modern AI-assisted and spec-driven development to move faster, while owning the architecture, correctness, and quality that tooling cannot guarantee on its own.
  • Set the technical standard with systems that are well-tested, resilient, extensible, and scalable, and that make it easy for others to contribute.
  • Build for money movement at scale, delivering idempotent, observable flows with correct ledgering, reconciliation, and compliance gating.
  • Uphold our Foundational Excellence standards for security, reliability, and observability, resolving risks before they become incidents.
  • Develop and deliver short- and long-term roadmaps, making tradeoffs across priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation.
  • Mentor and grow the team through code, design, and architecture reviews, and represent Remitly's values and technical bar in interviews.
  • Collaborate with partners across Product, Design, Analytics, Compliance, Infrastructure, and Operations to turn customer needs into scalable solutions.

You Have

  • A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years of engineering experience in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment.
  • Experience as a full stack engineer with React/TypeScript and Go.
  • Experience designing secure, scalable, performant software on cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS).
  • Experience leading engineers on large features in partnership with Product Management and other stakeholders — breaking work into workstreams, estimating timelines, and coaching through reviews and retrospectives.
  • Comfort with, or strong enthusiasm for, AI-assisted development tools as a force multiplier.
  • Clear, objective written and in-person communication, including the ability to articulate technical trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Nice to have: experience in payments, fintech, or money movement.

Compensation Details. The starting base salary range for this position is $152,000 to $190,000 CAD. 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:

  • 4 weeks' vacation
  • Health, dental, and vision + RRSP plan with company matching
  • Paid parental, medical, military and family care leave
  • Mental Health & Family Forming Benefits
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
  • Continuing education and travel benefits
