About the Role: We're hiring Senior Software Development Engineers (SDE3) across multiple engineering teams in our Seattle office. This is a batch hiring effort spanning teams throughout the company — including groups like USA Regional Experiences and High Value Send Experience, among others — so your background and interests will help determine the best team fit during the interview process. Every team shares a common thread: full-stack ownership of customer-facing product experiences, high engineering standards, and a mandate to build the next generation of trusted, borderless financial services. As a full-stack Senior SDE, you'll own ambiguous, high-impact problems end-to-end — from customer-facing web and mobile experiences down through the backend services and systems that power them. You'll partner closely with product managers, designers, analysts, and fellow engineers to translate customer needs into scalable, reliable software, while helping shape the technical direction and engineering culture of your team.

Requirements

6+ years of professional software development experience, including experience building and operating systems end-to-end.
Strong computer science, web, and native app fundamentals, with solid knowledge of design patterns.
3+ years of hands-on React or React Native development experience, and experience building customer-facing experiences at product scale.
Proficiency in one or more modern backend languages — TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Kotlin, or Go.
Experience using AI tools throughout your own software development workflow (e.g., Claude Code or similar).
Experience with distributed, large-scale systems and a working understanding of service-oriented or microservices architecture.
Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, including managed services.
Excellent collaboration skills and a track record of working cross-functionally with product, design, and analytics.
