About the Role
The Remitly Transaction Experience (RTE) team owns the systems at the core of Remitly, managing every remittance sent by customers. This role involves contributing to a future-ready, API-first Transaction Platform, enhancing transaction experiences for peer teams, and operating critical Tier-1 systems. As a Senior Software Development Engineer, you will own key pillars of the transaction experience, optimize delivery estimates using ML, build new platform capabilities, and lead initiatives that span multiple engineers and teams. You will work in an AI-forward engineering culture, utilizing AI tools for development while ensuring the correctness and responsible use of AI-assisted output.
Responsibilities
- Take technical ownership of an area of the transaction platform and become its subject-matter expert.
- Evolve how Remitly estimates delivery times for customers, improving their accuracy, latency, and reliability.
- Help peer teams move onto the new platform's APIs without interrupting production traffic.
- Own complex, multi-engineer initiatives end to end: clarify requirements, break work into workstreams that can run in parallel, estimate, and guide teammates to on-time delivery.
- Write technical specifications, lead design reviews, and contribute to cross-team technical designs with the teams that build on RTE.
- Deliver idempotent, well-tested, observable, documented, scalable, and resilient services and APIs.
- Own the operational health of your services, including on-call, SLOs, incident response, and root-cause resolution.
- Factor AI-assisted development into estimates, evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability before it ships, and coach peers on responsible AI use.
- Drive task breakdown, estimates, and tradeoff discussions with product managers, and partner with your manager to shape the team's technical direction and roadmap.
- Partner with product managers and engineers across Remitly to understand consumer needs and turn them into reliable technical solutions.
- Mentor engineers through code and design reviews, interviews, and onboarding, and raise the technical bar for the team.
Requirements
- A degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 6+ years of professional software development building and operating production backend systems.
- 1+ year leading features with multiple engineers, including breaking large, ambiguous work into workstreams others can execute.
- Experience designing and operating large-scale distributed backend systems on AWS, including high-throughput, low-latency services.
- Experience with monitoring (e.g., Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics), CI/CD, and infrastructure tooling, and with improving how systems are deployed, tested, logged, and monitored.
- Experience migrating or decommissioning production systems while they stay in use.
- A track record of technical architecture and system design decisions.
- Experience evaluating AI-generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability, and coaching others on responsible AI use.
- Comfort with ambiguity in requirements and business expectations.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including explaining technical tradeoffs to engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
