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. The Recipient & Payment Experience (RPX) team owns two of the most trust‑critical surfaces in the Remitly product: who customers are sending money to, and how they're paying for it.

From the moment a customer saves a recipient's details to the moment a payment method is validated and a transfer is initiated, RPX is responsible for making that experience fast, reliable, and worry‑free — for every customer, in every corridor. On the product side, we own the customer‑facing surfaces for recipient management and pay‑in flows — the forms, states, and experiences customers interact with directly. On the platform side, we own the customer domain layer: the shared APIs, data models, and services that encode how Remitly represents a remittance customer across the entire product.





Ship full‑stack features end‑to‑end: Design, implement, test, and operate backend services (Go) and customer‑facing interfaces (TypeScript) that power recipient management and pay‑in experiences. Own your work from first commit to production, and take pride in the quality, reliability, and observability of what you ship.

Build and evolve the customer domain platform: Contribute to the shared APIs, data models, and service contracts that define how Remitly represents recipients, payment methods, and customer state across the product. Write production‑quality code and conduct meaningful code reviews. Champion the effective use of AI tools in your own workflow and share what you learn with the team. 6+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated ability to independently design and ship production systems at scale. ~ Backend engineering expertise — robust fundamentals in building, scaling, and operating distributed services. ~ experience with Java or Kotlin with a genuine interest in adopting Go is also valued. ~ Frontend proficiency — comfortable building customer‑facing experiences in TypeScript (React or similar).

You don't need to be a frontend specialist, but you should be able to own a feature across the stack without handing off at the boundary.
