Full Job Description

About the Role:

As a Software Development Engineer on the Growth team, you'll build the systems that earn the trust of Remitly's high value senders. These are customers moving large transfers for real estate, education, long-term investments, and other milestones that shape their financial futures across borders. 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.

You Will:

  • Build with the customer in mind by applying customer context and data to your technical decision-making.

  • Ship reliable, observable, and scalable features across the High Value Send experience — with depth in one area of the stack (web, mobile, or backend) and growing fluency across the others.

  • Contribute to systems that meet availability and latency SLOs for the customer flows where trust matters most.

  • Partner with product, design, data, and partner engineering teams — surfacing technical trade-offs early to ship features for a diverse global customer base.

  • Strengthen team culture through code review, design discussions, and mentoring SDE 1s and interns.

You Have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience.

  • 3+ years of professional software development experience, with experience building features or components end-to-end and delivering production code on a team.

  • Experience building customer-facing experiences with TypeScript and React, or native mobile development (iOS/Android, React Native).

  • 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 FinTech, payments, or other regulated industries where reliability, security, and compliance shape engineering decisions.
