If that’s you and you’re ready to do the most meaningful work of your career—we invite you to join over 2,800 passionate Remitlians worldwide who are united by our vision to transform lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders.
About the Role:
Remitly's Builder Platform organization is responsible for the infrastructure that powers a global, always-on remittance business. The Cloud Engineering team owns the cloud primitives, networking, and automation that every product team builds on. As an AI-first engineering organization, we leverage AI, agentic workflows, and LLM integrations as core components in how we design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure at scale, managing our environment through code and treating repeatable patterns as products.
We're hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead this team across Krakow and the US. This is a hands-on role for someone who still wants to be close to the technical work while building and developing a high-performing engineering organization.
You Will:
- Champion an AI-first engineering culture, driving the integration of AI agents, MCP tooling, and automated agentic systems into everything we do to transform infrastructure management and maximize team leverage
- Drive FinOps and cost optimization practices across cloud spend, partnering with finance and engineering stakeholders to balance cost, performance, and reliability
- Own IaC strategy for cloud primitives, building reusable, repeatable system patterns that other teams can adopt rather than reinvent
- Architect for global presence and high resiliency, leveraging edge computing and multi-region, multi-cloud/hybrid strategies
- Lead and grow an engineering team spanning Krakow and the US, setting technical vision and direction focusing on self-service builder experience and holding a high bar for infrastructure-as-code, automation, and operational excellence
- Stay hands-on: review designs and code, get into incidents when needed, and maintain enough technical depth to make credible calls on architecture and tradeoffs
- Partner cross-functionally with Security, SRE, and Builder Experience on shared infrastructure solutions to provide a world-class self-service builder experience
- Partner with cross-functional teams and external partners on network expansion, VPN setup, and seamless network integration
- Own the comprehensive network strategy for edge computing, multi-account, and multi-region architectures
You Have:
- Experience leading a multi-team engineering organization distributed across countries and time zones, including hiring senior engineers and developing managers
- A record of setting multi-year technical strategy for cloud infrastructure and turning it into roadmaps, OKRs, and headcount plans that stay ahead of product demand
- Sound judgment on long-horizon architecture decisions (account structure, multi-region, multi-cloud) at a scale of thousands of accounts
- A history of building self-service platforms that scale infrastructure without linear headcount growth, measured by adoption across product teams
- Ownership of cloud spend as a business outcome, making cost, performance, and reliability tradeoffs with finance and engineering leadership
- Comfort operating as a working manager: capable of writing code, reviewing architecture, and going deep on technical problems, not just managing from a distance
- Clear written communication that aligns senior stakeholders across geographies and functions
Skills and Technologies:
- Software engineering in Go or Python for internal services and APIs
- Cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure, managed through IaC (Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation) and API-driven control planes
- Multi-account governance: account vending, organization policies, IAM, and policy as code (OPA, Sentinel, or similar)
- Networking across multi-region, hybrid, and edge architectures: VPC and transit design, IPAM, BGP, private connectivity and VPN, DNS, CDN, and WAF
- Kubernetes, GitOps, and observability, including SLO definition and multi-region failover testing
- FinOps practices: cost allocation and tagging, unit economics, and commitment management
- Security and compliance for regulated financial services (PCI DSS, SOC 2)
Our Benefits:
- Equity in the company – RSUs
- Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
- 26 days paid holiday + additional company days off
- Hybrid working model (our office is in the Kraków City Centre)
- Commute allowance
- Health/Dental Coverage – LUX MED VIP for employee and family
