Full Job Description
_**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:** 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. What makes RPX unique is that it operates as both a product team and a platform team. 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. Getting both right — and keeping them consistent — is one of the defining engineering challenges of this role. As a Senior Software Development Engineer on RPX, you will own meaningful feature
