  An AI-Assisted Transfer Price Comparison PrototypeRemitly · Staff AI-Native Engineer · Senior+ · Technical Screen · Aug 2026

  Rejected

  This team is looking for an AI-native engineer whose main responsibility is making various internal processes and tools AI-driven. They started interviewing with AI coding last quarter. You need to set up your own AI environment and share your screen. The AI coding interview mainly evaluates how you use AI, so the problem itself is usually not very hard. This one was considered one of the more co…

  Remitly Software Engineer interview: live coding and power-day onsiteRemitly · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · May 2026

  Rejected

  My process started with an HR phone call. I then had a fairly structured technical interview with a live coding problem and enough time to think through the approach, followed by a separate values and discussion segment. After that, I went through what felt like a larger "power day" onsite with multiple interviewers across different roles. Some rounds focused on my resume experience. The technica…

  Remitly Software Engineer online technical screeningRemitly · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · May 2026

  After a recruiter call, I had an online technical screening split between getting to know me and solving a problem. It wasn’t a simple "here’s the pattern" LeetCode exercise, and it didn’t feel realistic to finish in a tight window without running into gaps. I spent a lot of time making sure I understood what was being asked and what passing behavior should look like. The coding round wasn’t just…

  Remitly Software Engineer interview with a high-frequency banking promptRemitly · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Apr 2026

  My first step was an early technical prompt that was much broader than I expected for an initial stage. I had to build something like a high-frequency banking system from scratch, which meant thinking beyond one algorithm and covering the moving parts end to end. It was comprehensive, but once I broke the problem down, I could see a way through it. The next round was a live interview with behavio…

  Remitly Software Engineer interview with a six-week scheduling delayRemitly · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Dec 2025

  Recruiter coordination set the tone for me. It took more than six weeks to make initial contact, and the interview timeline kept getting canceled, rescheduled, and then disappearing again. Even after I completed a recruiter screen, the next steps didn't move smoothly. I had to chase updates, and eventually the process went quiet. There wasn't much clarity about what happened after the early techn…

  Remitly Frontend Engineer interview with a timed Canditech assessmentRemitly · Frontend Engineer · HR Screen · May 2024

  The process started with a recruiter screen, followed by a timed assessment on Canditech that lasted about an hour. The structure was rigid. Each section had its own time limit, and once I finished one, I couldn't return to it. There was no way to practice or get familiar with the platform beforehand, which made the pacing more stressful. I got thrown off immediately because I initially saw only…

  Remitly Software Engineer interview: DFS screen and four-interview virtual onsiteRemitly · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Nov 2022

  I applied online and went straight to scheduling without a recruiter introduction. My first technical interview involved a simple DFS-style problem. I passed that round and was invited to a virtual onsite. The virtual onsite felt uneven. It included four interviews: two technical coding rounds, a manager round, and a product manager round. Some interviewers were engaged and seemed genuinely inter…

  Remitly Software Engineer interview: two coding interviews and values-based behavioral roundRemitly · Software Engineer · Nov 2022

  After applying, I didn’t do anything especially elaborate up front. Everything took place online over Zoom, and the process focused heavily on values. The interviews seemed designed to assess how I’d show up, not just how I’d code. My interview day combined two technical coding interviews with a behavioral interview centered on the company’s core values. One interviewer gave me a clear framework…

  Remitly Software Engineer interview with a disputed coding solutionRemitly · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Oct 2022

  No response

  After a recruiter reached out, I entered the process with a decent amount of momentum. I had one technical interview that combined Q&A with a whiteboard-style coding task. The conceptual part focused on DSA and time complexity. Even when the conversation became tense, I felt I understood what they were asking me to do. The process then moved into the loop. One technical interviewer kept insisting…
