Our job is to get that money where it's going, safely and without delay. Money Platform is the foundation behind that promise: the systems that receive, safeguard, move, pay out, and orchestrate every transfer. We're hiring a Director of Engineering for Money Platform to lead it into its next chapter, with capabilities that compose into compelling products and help teams move quickly, safely, and independently. You'll measure success by how much they can build on the platform without you in the room. The builders who depend on the platform are changing. They're engineers working more and more with agents, and over time they'll be agents composing money movement directly. Designing for that future is a core part of the role. You'll set direction, grow the leaders and principal engineers on the team, and stay close enough to the work to engage your strongest engineers as a peer. You'll also be fluent enough in the business to move between a technical decision and a customer outcome. You Will: * Treat the teams who build on the platform as your customers. Give them clear contracts and a developer experience clean enough that they integrate once on their own * Ship platform capabilities on a steady rhythm that product teams can feel, and make that rhythm something the team is known for * Hold the operational, reliability, and correctness bar for systems that move customers' hard-earned money * Be the technical leader your strongest engineers want to work for. Earn credibility with principal, staff, and senior engineers; go deep when it counts; and grow the managers and principals who will lead this platform next, At Remitly, we believe that true innovation sparks when we come together.
