About The Position

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you direct AI agents to build products and solutions, rather than writing code directly. You leverage AI coding agents to replace manual tasks, build and ship entire applications and basic agents end-to-end. You're a full-stack product builder who thinks in terms of "I need to solve this customer problem" and orchestrates AI to get there. You are measured by the speed of delivery and the robustness of what you ship, not the volume of your commits.

Requirements

Proficiency with AI coding agents for end-to-end application development
Ability to write effective prompts and iterate to achieve desired outcomes
Understanding of full-stack applications: frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure
Familiarity with common architectural patterns (web applications, APIs, databases, queues)
Awareness of fundamental design principles, common UI/UX patterns, and basic product development concepts
Ability to read and interpret basic analytics (usage metrics, conversion rates, error rates)
Strong communication skills and a collaborative, learning-oriented mindset

Responsibilities

Build complete applications, workflow automations, and basic agents within your team's product area using AI coding agents
Translate customer needs into buildable specifications and ship solutions from requirements through deployment
Instrument solutions to track usage and outcomes, iterating based on what you learn
Evaluate AI-generated output against Remitly's standards for security, privacy, reliability, and quality before shipping
Participate in customer conversations to understand acute problems and identify automation opportunities
Document your approaches, effective prompts, and patterns for the team
