Today, we are incredibly proud to have served millions of customers globally with Remitly and our newly launched banking product, Passbook. We strive daily to meet our promise to our customers by building peace of mind into everything we do. Join over 1,300 employees across 9 offices who are growing their careers while having a positive impact on people globally.

Our Payments team is pioneering that growth, launching and incubating our remittance product in new markets while working across all technical systems in the company. We're a small team, working with business, product, front- and back-end engineers. You will report to the North America Payments Engineering Manager.

Successful principal engineers have learned from years of experience to evaluate technical options, then apply best practices and design patterns to build high-quality systems. They work across teams to determine and express the true technical requirements underlying feature requests, and design with an eye for simultaneously accomplishing our goals, improving existing systems, and reducing technical debt. They are also acutely aware that software isn't complete after shipping, instead designing for stability, monitoring, and maintenance over time; they create systems that can evolve but last for years. More than just building, senior engineers also mentor, promote best practices and push for technical excellence across the company.

Some examples of interesting problems include:

• Integrate a scalable platform for connecting to diverse bank APIs around the globe to collect and manage funds
• Create customer experiences offering our service in new countries, adding new payment methods, reducing fraud risk reduction or improving operational supportability
• Build resilient systems to detect and respond to external system outages
• Distribute traffic among external systems with inputs around dynamic pricing, availability, quality of service and other data

Requirements:

• A BS in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience
• 10+ years of experience shipping high-quality products
• Expertise in software development best practices, system design, software design patterns and algorithms
• Experience building, shipping, and maintaining web services and systems on AWS
• Expertise in one or more general purpose languages like Java, JavaScript, Go, PHP, Python, Kotlin, C# or Ruby
