Senior Cloud Engineer

Krakow, Małopolskie, Poland

Category: Engineering
Job ID: R_106372
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:

The Cloud Team designs, builds, and operates Remitly's AWS cloud foundation – the networking fabric and infrastructure tooling that every product team depends on. We manage cloud infrastructure at significant scale (hundreds to thousands of accounts), move money for millions of customers, and treat reliability, security, and operational excellence as non-negotiable.

This is not an ops or tooling-configuration role: we need engineers who can design and build scalable systems and services, not just apply Terraform.

As a Cloud Engineer, you will own deep parts of our cloud and networking stack, ship high-quality Go services, and build internal abstractions that reduce cognitive load for the broader engineering org.

You Will:

Lead architecture decisions on cloud topology, multi-account governance, cross-region connectivity, and platform abstractions used by every engineering team.
Own and evolve our edge infrastructure – CloudFront distributions, AWS Shield, WAF configurations, CDN failover strategies, and latency-optimized routing
Build and maintain production Go services and CLI tooling that automate, observe, and extend our cloud platform at scale – this means writing software systems, not just scripts or IaC.
Design and operate Remitly's global partner and bank connectivity network – VPNs (IPSec/IKEv2), Direct Connect, BGP routing to financial partners worldwide, and the broader multi-account, multi-region topology that underlies all of Remitly's payments infrastructure.
Collaborate with SRE, Security, and Platform teams to embed observability, compliance, and operational excellence into cloud paved pathways.
Troubleshoot complex network issues across distributed cloud environments, applying deep knowledge of TCP/IP protocols and traffic flow analysis.
Participate in on-call rotation (5-person weekly rotation); occasional late syncs with Seattle (4–6 PM CET).

You Have:

5+ years of experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure – with significant hands-on AWS depth.
Strong proficiency in at least one backend language; Go experience is strongly preferred.
Deep knowledge of cloud networking: VPC design and subnetting, routing, Transit Gateway, DNS, load balancing.
Experience with edge infrastructure management: CloudFront distributions, AWS Shield, WAF configurations, and CDN failover strategies.
Experience building and operating infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred).
Understanding of cloud and infrastructure management concepts, including multi-account governance and organizational tooling; Kubernetes/EKS familiarity is a plus.

Our Benefits:

26 days paid holiday & additional company days off
Equity in the company – RSUs
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
Royalties (KUP)
Employee Pension Plan (PPK)
Open leave policy (Flexible vacation days with manager approval)
Commuting to work expense
Health/Dental & Coverage – LUX MED VIP for employee & family
Life Insurance
Mental Health & Family Planing Benefits
Continuing education and travel benefits
Equipment of your choice
Headphones Reimbursement
Referral bonuses

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.”
