Senior Engineering Manager, Cloud Engineering

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 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)
