Job Description:

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.

About the Role:

Remitly is building a real-time pricing platform that sets optimal prices across 5,300+ corridors - one of the company's highest-priority investments. As an SDE I on the Pricing Platform team, you will contribute to the data pipelines, cloud services, and production systems that power how Remitly prices its product globally. The work spans ingestion of FX data, cost and margin modeling, and the services that deliver prices into the customer experience in real time. You will grow your skills alongside a senior, collaborative team and have the opportunity to make a direct impact on the financial experiences of millions of customers worldwide. You will report to the Engineering Manager for the Pricing Platform team and work in a hybrid capacity from our Seattle office.

You Will:

• Execute with quality: Build responsibly and with confidence by writing performant, well-tested, and maintainable code that meets team quality standards, including thorough unit tests, clear documentation, and consistent error handling.

• Build with purpose: Contribute to platform components - data pipelines, orchestrated transformations, pricing services, and internal tooling - that power Remitly's real-time pricing decisions across thousands of global corridors.

• Work across the stack: Move fluidly between backend services, data workflows, and the occasional customer- or operator-facing UI, picking up whichever layer the problem needs.

• Learn and grow: Operate with increasing independence in code construction, testing, and deployments, actively seeking guidance from senior teammates and applying feedback to improve over time.

• Be a cultural leader: Uphold Remitly's values as a foundation for how you collaborate, communicate, and grow - contributing to a team environment built on trust and shared purpose.

• Collaborate constructively: Participate actively in team discussions, sprint rituals, and design reviews. Ask questions, raise blockers early, and document your code, pull requests, and test cases clearly.

• Support operational excellence: Follow Remitly's Foundational Excellence standards across security, reliability, and quality, and contribute to identifying and resolving software defects through log review, metrics, and standard troubleshooting approaches on systems that serve high volumes of traffic.

You Have:

• Strong proficiency in Python, with working knowledge of at least one frontend language (React JS) or a clear willingness to pick one up.

• Fluency in SQL and experience using it to build reports, pipelines, or production transformations against real datasets.

• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure) - building and operating services, scheduled jobs, or data pipelines in production.

• Exposure to - or genuine curiosity about - real-time, high-throughput production systems, and the reliability, monitoring, and cost tradeoffs that come with them.

• Experience shipping at least one end-to-end project where you owned the backend and, ideally, a lightweight frontend or internal tool on top of it.

• Familiarity with a range of data structures, algorithms, and software systems concepts, with a desire to deepen that knowledge over time.

• An ability to work through uncertainty in code construction, testing, and troubleshooting, and to clarify where existing procedures or documentation need improvement.

• We actively welcome career-changers and non-traditional paths where the production engineering work speaks for itself.
