About The Position

The Transaction Integrity Product squad protects both our customers and Remitly from financial harm. We build systems that detect and stop scam activity before it impacts the people who depend on us most. We also stop fraud before it undermines the integrity of our platform. This allows customers to send money safely, simply, and without disruption. Our work sits at the intersection of customer experience and trust—every decision we make balances stopping bad actors with keeping Remitly accessible and easy to use for the millions of people who depend on it. As a Software Development Engineer II on the team, you'll design and build backend services and customer experiences that power real-time fraud and scam prevention across Remitly's remittance flows. You'll own meaningful features end-to-end. You'll collaborate closely with product and program managers, fraud analysts, and partner engineering teams. You'll contribute to a platform that directly protects customers and supports Remitly's reputation as the most trusted way to send money globally. You will report to one of our engineering managers and will be required to work 3+ days out of our Seattle, WA HQ.
