Since 2011, we've tirelessly delivered on our promise to customers sending money globally, providing secure, simple, and reliable ways to manage their money, ensuring true peace of mind. Whether it's supporting loved ones back home, growing a business across continents, or pursuing new opportunities abroad, we're not just here to move money— we're here to move our global customers forward.
We're looking for builders, reimaginers, and global thinkers who want to work at the intersection of technology, trust, and transformation. 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

Our team owns a key part of the customer experience, with a mission to deliver value every time a customer engages with our product. We build cohesive, personalized experiences that make our core flows effortless, surface relevant actions quickly, and strengthen customer trust over time — investing in scalable architecture, intelligent personalization, and targeted experiences that support the company's next phase of growth. As the Engineering Manager, you will lead the team's engineering function and deliver on ambitious 0-1 roadmaps.

You Will:

  • Manage engineers to design, develop, and deliver scalable architecture, intelligent personalization, and targeted experiences for a range of customer segments.
  • Partner with product and design stakeholders to prioritize the roadmap and translate the company's strategic ambitions into actionable OKRs.
  • Hire and grow the engineering team, recruiting and onboarding experienced engineers.
  • Be a role model for our cultural values and mentor engineers in technical skillset, autonomy, communication, and collaboration.
  • Ensure engineering best practices, quality, and operational excellence across the team.

You Have:

  • An Engineering Manager within commuting distance of the Burnaby, BC office.
  • 10+ years’ of software engineering experience
  • 3+ years’ experience in an engineering leadership role, with a track record managing small teams and delivering complex, full-stack / front-end-heavy projects.
  • Expertise in at least one general application-development language (Go, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, etc.), with a preference for React/React Native familiarity given Home's front-end surface.
  • Demonstrated aptitude and judgment for applying AI to developer productivity and, ideally, product features — including enabling safe AI tool adoption on the team.
  • Ability to design secure, scalable, performant software and give constructive feedback on team designs.
  • A track record coaching developers via mentoring, reviews, and retrospectives.
  • Strong partnership skills with product and design stakeholders — communicating technical tradeoffs and applying product judgment to reach the best customer outcomes.
  • Experience recruiting and growing engineering teams from the ground up.
