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.

As a Software Development Engineer on the Growth team, you'll build the systems that earn the trust of Remitly's high value senders.

This full‑stack role spans customer‑facing web and mobile experiences and deep partnership with foundational teams across identity and trust, money movement, pricing, and more.

You'll partner with product, design, and engineering peers to define what it means to earn customer trust on their most consequential transfers — for customers sending more, with more on the line. You will report to the Engineering Manager for the team. This role is hybrid and based in Seattle, WA.

• Proficiency in one or more modern backend languages such as Java, Kotlin, Go, or Python, with a record of delivering production‑quality code.
• Experience contributing to distributed, large‑scale systems with a working understanding of service‑oriented architecture.
• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, including familiarity with managed services.
• Bonus:
  Experience in Fin Tech, payments, or other regulated industries where reliability, security, and compliance shape engineering decisions.
