About The Position

Remitly is building the Remitly Global Card, the first ever card that gives customers a single, trusted place to hold, spend, and move their money, launching across multiple geographies. As the Senior Engineering Manager for the Card team, you will lead a team of engineers who own features end to end, the screens customers see, the APIs behind them, and the services that issue cards, hold balances, and move money. As the first engineering leader in our Arlington office, you’ll have the opportunity to set the engineering culture and future hires at Remitly. You'll build with AI in the loop every day, as we become AI native at Remitly, while holding the correctness and trust bar a regulated money product demands. You will report to the Director of Engineering and work in a hybrid capacity from our Arlington, VA office.
