Full Stack Software Engineer (Remitly Business)

• Remitly Business helps small businesses pay contractors, freelancers, suppliers, and employees in 175+ countries: with transparent pricing, no subscriptions, and the same delivery guarantee our consumer customers rely on
• It is one of Remitly’s fastest-growing lines of business, live across North America and 23 EU countries, and the product surface is still being defined
• We’re hiring Full-Stack Software Development Engineers to join Remitly Business Engineering in Burnaby
• You’ll build the experiences that bring businesses onto Remitly and keep them sending: onboarding and business verification (KYB), the send flows, payment requests and receive, and the reporting businesses need to run their books
• You’ll own features end to end: Go services on the backend, a TypeScript GraphQL layer in the middle, and React / React Native on the front, and you’ll ship to production your code often
• This is an AI-native team. We work spec-first: acceptance criteria and tests are written before implementation, coding agents do much of the construction, and engineers spend their time on design judgment, verification, and the product calls an agent can’t make
• You’ll be expected to use tools like Claude Code and Cursor as part of your daily practice, to be skeptical of what they produce, and to help the team get better at using them
• 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

Benefits

• Spend up to $1,000 per year on costs related to continuing education or on travel to countries Remitly serves, allowing you to gain insights to our customer’s journeys
• All of our office spaces offer our employees a place to collaborate and celebrate. With locally sourced artwork and vibrant designs, they create an environment that all can enjoy
• Fill your cup up outside of work and take advantage of our generous paid time off policies, leave policies, and flex working hours to ensure you are able to meet the demands of life outside of work

• Contribute to the communities we serve through volunteering, employee giving, or civic advocacy
• Remitly provides rich benefit plans intended to cover the needs of our diverse teammates

• Experience as a full stack engineer with React/TypeScript and Go
• 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
• Nice to have: experience in payments, fintech, or money movement
• Experience designing secure, scalable, performant software on cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS)
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Clear, objective written and in-person communication, including the ability to articulate technical trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfort with, or strong enthusiasm for, AI-assisted development tools as a force multiplier
• 3+ years of engineering experience in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment
• We are open to both intermediate level (SDE2) and senior level (SDE3) candidates for this position
