Principal Engineer, Verification Platform

Remitly · Burnaby, British Columbia · $220,000 - $275,000 annually

applies via remitly.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com (workday)

Verdict

Remitly is a legitimate, publicly-traded fintech company with a reachable website, verified business match, and a dedicated careers page. The posting uses a known ATS provider (Workday) and applies online with no suspicious payment or ID-upfront demands. The primary concern is a minor geographic discrepancy: the posting claims Burnaby, BC, but Remitly's official Canadian office is in New Westminster, BC—a plausible expansion or satellite location that does not constitute strong fraud evidence.
