I had a blast working for Remitly! The team was great to work with, and there was plenty of opportunity for growth and technical challenges. I worked on a number of projects, including designing and coding for different applications, but also had the chance to work on the back end of some aspects of the company. The work was incredibly rewarding, and I was able to learn a lot about the financial technology industry. The pay was also competitive, and I was able to help build a product from the ground up, something I will never forget.
