Remitly Poland sp. z o.o. is a financial services company focused on providing secure, simple, and reliable global money transfer solutions to customers across 18+ languages and 175+ countries. The company aims to make its products globally ready by building internationalization infrastructure, translation pipelines, and AI-powered tooling.

• 6+ years of software development experience including internationalization/localization engineering and leading delivery of complex features.
• Strong programming skills in Go and JavaScript/TypeScript, including React Native and modern web frameworks (Next.js, Astro), or comparable experience in ecosystems like Java, Kotlin, C#/.NET.
• Experience applying AI/LLMs in production workflows, with judgment on automation vs. human review; translation or content pipeline experience preferred.
• Working knowledge of internationalization standards and locale-aware formatting (Unicode, ICU/CLDR-based libraries).
• Proven ability to build or evolve localization systems and translation pipelines at scale.
• Experience with modern software development practices including code reviews and secure coding standards.

Nice to have:

• Experience shipping RTL/bidirectional language support in production.
• Experience with localizability audits and pseudo-locale validation.
• Hands-on experience with TMS platforms (Lokalise, Phrase, Smartling, Transifex), ICU/CLDR internals, and localization interchange formats (XLIFF).
• Experience in fintech or other regulated industry.

• Own complex, team-level projects end-to-end: clarify requirements, break work into tasks, and guide teammates toward timely delivery.
• Build AI/LLM-powered translation and orchestration tooling, evaluate models, design quality guardrails, and integrate into production localization pipelines.
• Build and maintain localization infrastructure, translation pipelines, and i18n tooling integrated with translation management systems (TMS).
• Design CI/CD-integrated solutions for locale-specific rendering, text extraction, translation workflows, and pseudo-locale validation.
• Standardize i18n frameworks and libraries across frontend and backend systems for correct handling of locale-specific formats and message formatting.
• Build static code analysis and linting tools to catch i18n defects before release and harden code to eliminate recurring localization bugs.
• Expand language coverage including right-to-left and bidirectional support, and transliteration tooling.
• Operate built services: monitor, debug, and improve reliability of services, tooling, and translation pipelines.
• Collaborate with backend, mobile, web, and content teams and mentor engineers via code reviews and design discussions.
