## Description

Remitly's US and Canada Regional Experience teams grow the remittance send business by improving the customer experience across the moments that matter most. Engineers on these teams apply a full-stack skillset to the customer challenges most critical for growing Remitly's US and Canada send business. This Staff Engineer will work across both regional teams, setting the technical direction engineers build on. The US team has ambitious plans targeting Latin America and other critical receive regions, alongside Canada's growth priorities in Asia, which this hire will help drive across both regions.

You will:

 * Own the technical direction and architecture of the US and Canada regional experiences - from customer-facing web and mobile surfaces to the services and integrations they depend on - taking the lead on large, cross-team initiatives.
 * Partner with product, design, analytics, and engineering leaders across both regions to shape roadmaps.
 * Advise domain-level planning and lead design reviews across the regional teams.
 * Make AI-native engineering a durable practice across the teams: set the bar, own the teams' automation as a maintained portfolio, and extend those standards to teams we work closely with.
 * Evolve engineering excellence standards (reliability, observability, security, quality) and resolve the long-standing problems that limit scale before they become bottlenecks.
 * Raise the engineering bar across both regions by mentoring engineers at multiple levels through design and code reviews, and expanding team knowledge and skills.
 * Stay hands-on across TypeScript, React Native, Java/Kotlin, and Go; set the standard in code review.
 * Report to the Senior Engineering Manager, Americas.
