Senior Software Engineer, Globalization

Remitly Poland sp. z o.o. operates in the fintech industry providing global money transfer services with a focus on making products globally-ready through internationalization infrastructure and AI-powered localization tooling. The company has over 2,800 employees worldwide and supports customers in more than 175 countries and 18+ languages.

• 6+ years of software development experience including internationalization/localization engineering and leading delivery of complex features.
• Strong programming skills in Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, including React Native and modern web frameworks like Next.js and Astro, or comparable ecosystems (Java, Kotlin, C#/.NET) with ability to learn new stacks quickly.
• Experience applying AI/LLMs in production workflows, with judgment on automation vs human review; translation or content pipeline experience ideal.
• 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 development practices including code reviews and secure coding standards, with strong cross-functional collaboration.

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 regulated industry.

• Own complex, team-level projects end-to-end: clarify requirements, break work into parallel tasks, and guide teammates toward on-time delivery.
• Build AI/LLM-powered translation and orchestration tooling: evaluate models, design quality guardrails, and integrate them 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 (currency, date/time, numeric formats), text extraction and translation workflows, and pseudo-locale validation.
• Standardize i18n frameworks and libraries across frontend and backend systems for correct handling of date/time, currency, pluralization, and message formatting.
• Build static code analysis and linting tooling to catch i18n defects before release, and harden existing code paths to eliminate recurring localization bugs.
• Expand Remitly's language coverage including right-to-left and bidirectional support, and transliteration tooling for accurate customer identity matching across scripts.
• Operate what you build: monitor, debug, and improve the reliability of your services, tooling, and translation pipelines in production.
• Partner across backend and frontend stacks with backend, mobile, web, and content teams.
• Mentor other engineers through code reviews and design discussions.
