Senior Software Engineer, Globalization

Remitly is a financial services company focused on delivering secure, simple, and reliable global money transfer solutions since 2011. They have over 2,800 employees worldwide and operate in 18+ languages and 175+ countries, focusing on internationalization infrastructure and AI-powered translation tooling.

• 6+ years of software development experience, including internationalization/localization engineering and leading complex feature delivery.
• Strong programming skills in Go, JavaScript/TypeScript (including React Native, Next.js, Astro) or deep experience in comparable ecosystems (Java, Kotlin, C#/.NET).
• Experience applying AI/LLMs in production workflows with sound judgment on automation versus human review; translation or content pipeline experience is 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 software development practices, including code reviews and secure coding standards, and strong cross-functional collaboration skills.

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 another 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 language coverage: right-to-left and bidirectional support, and transliteration tooling for accurate customer identity matching across scripts.
• Operate built services: monitor, debug, and improve reliability of services, tooling, and translation pipelines in production.
• Partner with backend, mobile, web, and content teams across stacks, and mentor engineers through code reviews and design discussions.
