Senior Fullstack Software Development Engineer – Remitly Business

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Category: Engineering
Job ID: R_105806
Job Type: Regular

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:

As a founding member of our Bangalore engineering hub, you will lead the frontend development for Remitly's new "GetPaid" business products. This is a high-impact role where you will build customer-facing experiences in React Native and GraphQL while ensuring they integrate seamlessly with Remitly's existing global platforms. Because we are building on top of established infrastructure, you will partner with frontend architects across the company to adapt shared component libraries and deployment pipelines to meet our product needs. You'll be the bridge between our "0-1" product goals and the technical standards of a global fintech leader, making sure our checkout and payment experiences are both innovative and consistent with the broader Remitly ecosystem.

You Will:

Architect the Frontend: Lead the technical design of our mobile and web experiences, ensuring our React Native apps are performant, accessible, and easy to maintain.
Integrate with Global Platforms: Work with frontend leads in other regions to align on design systems (Design Tokens, Component Libraries) and ensure our product fits into the main Remitly app architecture.
Navigate Complex Dependencies: Dive into existing frontend codebases and GraphQL schemas to identify where modifications are needed to support new business payment flows.
Drive Fullstack Delivery: While focusing on the UI, you will also build and modify backend APIs in Golang to ensure the data layer perfectly supports the user experience.
Set Local Standards: Establish the "ways of working" for the Bangalore frontend team, including testing strategies, performance monitoring, and CI/CD best practices.
Mentor and Scale: Guide a team of SDE 2s through complex technical hurdles and participate in hiring the initial engineering cohort for the India site.

You Have:

A Seasoned Frontend Leader: You have 6+ years of software engineering experience, with a deep focus on building complex UIs at scale
Expert in React Native & GraphQL: You have a proven track record of shipping high-quality mobile or web applications and a strong understanding of state management and API orchestration.
A Systems Collaborator: You are comfortable working across team boundaries to modify shared libraries or propose changes to core infrastructure that unblock your team.
Fullstack Capable: You are proficient in (or ready to master) Golang and understand how to build and maintain the backend services that power your frontends.
Comfortable with Ambiguity: You enjoy the "0-1" phase where you have to figure out how to build new features within the constraints of a large, existing system.
Driven by UX: You care deeply about the end-user experience, including app performance, internationalization, and polished UI interactions.

Our Benefits:

Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
Life Insurance
Mental Health & Family Forming benefits

What our Remitlians say

Evelyne Kuo

Program Manager - Technical

On the Security & Privacy team, I reimagine what’s possible by going beyond traditional compliance to create a culture where security is part of everyone’s day-to-day — through programs like our champion network, engaging training sessions, and company-wide awareness events that make security approachable and empowering.”

What our Remitlians say

Amara Agbo

Software Development Engineer II

To me, reimagining what’s possible means constantly learning new technologies and applying cutting-edge solutions to build localized systems that scale across currencies, countries, and regulations. The challenges we solve at Remitly don’t just strengthen our platform — they expand financial access for millions of people worldwide. That’s what makes the work both exciting and impactful.”

What our Remitlians say

Rosa Castellon Herrera

Senior Team Manager - QA

Stand for excellence means to me always raising the bar, pushing through discomfort, to deliver our best to our teams and customers every time. We come together as a team to share ideas to develop a rubric that helps us deliver impactful results.”

Stephanie Cameron

Senior Product Manager

On the product team at Remitly, I’m trusted to make decisions that drive real impact—not just for my team, but for the business and our customers. I’m encouraged to take ownership of problems even when they’re outside my immediate scope, to speak up, and to bring the right people together to solve them. Lately, that’s meant working on real-time FX and funding tools that support our treasury team in lowering transaction costs—so we can pass those savings on to our customers. That trust and cross-team collaboration make it easy to stay focused on what really matters in the long run.”

What our Remitlians say

Nadav Yekutiel

Senior Manager - Analytics

At Remitly, diving deep has meant pushing past easy answers to truly understand what our customers need. I’ve seen our analytics teams uncover insights that weren’t obvious at first glance — like identifying hidden friction points in the customer journey that, once solved, improved both experience and trust. This commitment to going beyond the surface makes our recommendations stronger, and it’s a big part of how we deliver meaningful impact across the business.”
