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.

About the Role:

As an AI Native Software Engineer, you direct AI agents to build products and solutions, rather than writing code directly. You leverage AI coding agents to replace manual tasks, build and ship entire applications and basic agents end-to-end. You're a full-stack product builder who thinks in terms of "I need to solve this customer problem" and orchestrates AI to get there. You are measured by the speed of delivery and the robustness of what you ship, not the volume of your commits.

You Will:

- Build complete applications, workflow automations, and basic agents within your team's product area using AI coding agents
- Translate customer needs into buildable specifications and ship solutions from requirements through deployment
- Instrument solutions to track usage and outcomes, iterating based on what you learn
- Evaluate AI-generated output against Remitly's standards for security, privacy, reliability, and quality before shipping
- Participate in customer conversations to understand acute problems and identify automation opportunities
- Document your approaches, effective prompts, and patterns for the team

You Have:

- Proficiency with AI coding agents for end-to-end application development
- Ability to write effective prompts and iterate to achieve desired outcomes
- Understanding of full-stack applications: frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure
- Familiarity with common architectural patterns (web applications, APIs, databases, queues)
- Awareness of fundamental design principles, common UI/UX patterns, and basic product development concepts
- Ability to read and interpret basic analytics (usage metrics, conversion rates, error rates)
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative, learning-oriented mindset

Compensation Details:

The starting base salary range for this position is typically $124,000-$155,000. In the U.S., Remitly employees are shareholders in our Company and equity is part of our total compensation plan. Your recruiter can share more information about medical benefits offered, as well as other financial benefits and total compensation components offered with this role.

Our Benefits:

- Flexible paid time off
- Health, dental, and vision + 401k plan with company matching
- Paid parental, medical, military and family care leave
