Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Who you are

• 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

What the job involves

• 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
• 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
