Who we are
Sendwave is on a mission to make sending funds to loved ones as easy and affordable as sending a text. What makes us stand out in a sea of similar apps? We deeply care about the diasporas and communities we serve — and that comes with a sense of connection to the markets we operate in. We strive to make life better for everyone who touches our product. That means recognizing and honoring the human experience behind sending money. We do that by remaining fee-free in most of our markets and offering round-the-clock customer care.
Our app is currently available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and parts of Europe, and sends funds to 19 receiving countries for over 500,000 users. We currently havea 4.6-star rating on Trustpilot — people put their faith in us to deliver their money quickly, securely, and affordably. And we’re pretty darn proud of that.
How we work
What we’re most proud of though is our brilliant, creative, and tenacious team. Our remote-first workplace means you’ll be working with Sendwavers in Europe, Africa, South America, and the U.S. that all share a core set of Sendwave values. What exactly are those values? Glad you asked.
Prioritize fearlessly. There will always be more problems to solve and opportunities to pursue than we have the capacity for. We’re not afraid to say no and are willing to let fires burn, knowing that to win we must discern and execute decisively on the vital few rather than the important many.
Take full ownership of the outcomes we’re responsible for. Our job is not to do what we can to solve a problem. It's to ensure that problem is solved. If an attempt to solve a problem doesn't work, we seek an alternative. If we need help, we request it, and, if necessary, demand it.
Forge a diverse team and inclusive culture. We believe the challenges we’re addressing will be best met by a truly global, diverse team, working together. We’re not naive to the systemic bias and discrimination that make this easier said than done, so we check our egos, listen deeply, and measure progress towards making this a fundamental part of our success.
Maximize our rate of learning. We view projects as ever-evolving drafts and welcome opportunities to discover that what we had in mind won't work so we can move to an even better end state. Most importantly, we do this fast. The faster we run these loops — as a company and individuals — the faster we’ll achieve our mission.
Embrace embarrassing honesty from ourselves and others. We function best when we're open and honest with one another — especially about our challenges and doubts. We lean into uncomfortable conversations and support our colleagues when they do the same.
Maximize energy, not time spent. We measure our own and others’ contributions by objectives reached, not time spent. Living a full life outside of work is necessary for high achievement over the long term.
Your key area of focus:
A good CI/CD pipeline helps our engineers deliver features quickly, efficiently, and safely to production. A Senior Developer Tooling Engineer at Sendwave aims to apply the same principles to our tooling that supports our wider engineering organization.
You’ll be working on automating complex processes, reducing manual steps in day-to-day workloads, improving infrastructure health visibility, and improving our engineers' delivery of code. You'll take on the burden of managing how software gets delivered to production and ensuring that our infrastructure just works. In short, you’ll provide leverage for the other engineers at Sendwave to continue making sending money as easy and simple as sending a text.
In the first few months, you’ll:
Work on improving our development tools and experience so that engineers can ship work faster.
Build tools to help increase visibility into more opaque processes and pipelines.
Create automation for manual tasks, or workflows that span multiple different sources.
Explore and evaluate third-party or in-house solutions for complex process problems.
Participate in an on-call rotation to handle problems outside of business hours so that our system is always available to our users
Uncover bottlenecks in our software delivery process and improve them.
What you bring to the table:
3+ years of professional experience in DevOps, SRE, Software Development, or an equivalent field.
Experience working closely with key stakeholders across an organization's development, operations, and business units.
2+ years working with AWS or Google Cloud.
Proficient in code deployment tools (Terraform, Puppet, Ansible, Chef)
Experienced with scripting (Bash, Python)
Experience working with Git and other CI/CD tools and pipelines.
Bonus points if you:
Are a creative and flexible problem solver, and interested in finding the best solutions for our particular needs
Like getting in the weeds and making projects happen
Are excited about multiple kinds of work and want to help out where it’s needed
Are comfortable defaulting to over-communication and overreaching when it comes to coordination.
Adjust quickly to changing priorities and conditions and cope effectively with complexity and change.
Have created BI dashboards and tooling in a previous role.
Have experience with Load/Stress testing and tools.
Have experience with service-based architectures.
Key Details:
Location: Our company is 100% remote. This is a permanent position and you can be based anywhere in the US, Canada, Costa Rica, UK, Germany France, Kenya, Senegal
Competitive compensation package
Major benefits:
Subsidized health insurance and retirement contribution matching (both vary from country to country)
26 weeks of fully paid parental leave and subsidized fertility assistance
Unlimited vacation with a 20-day minimum requirement
$10,000 annual charitable donation matching
And best of all:
Our team of over 400 employees is fully distributed across the world. We are working from coffee shops, homes, and co-working spaces — making us one of the larger fully distributed growth-stage startups in the world.
We are proud parents, community organizers, farmers, band members, yoga teachers, YouTube influencers, former Olympians, and serial entrepreneurs.
We recently joined forces with WorldRemit, another remittance company. We’re excited about the ways we can collaborate and continue to provide the best service to our users.

Your key area of focus:
To achieve our mission, we need to make sure our app is easy to use for every interaction from signup to sending to editing info to resetting your password. You’ll work closely with our Head of Product to fix highly impactful user problems and A/B test interface changes to make the experience even smoother and quicker. You’ll eventually be one of the primary code owners of our Android app, and the go-to people for when someone else on the team has a hairy Android problem they need help with, but it won’t be all Android work though— you will need to work across client and server to solve problems end-to-end.
In your first few months, you'll
Streamline in-app signup and verification flows
Set up A/B tests to measure the impact of your work
Help us build a top-tier referral program to help users share their love of Sendwave with their friends
Advise other engineers on Android development questions and challenges
What you bring to the table:
4+ years of professional experience as a full-stack or mobile engineer (but at least 3+ years exclusively in mobile)
Significant experience working with Android — you don’t need to know every detail of the Android environment off the top of your head, but you should have a strong enough foundation to figure out those details when needed
Work authorization in the country in which you intend to be based.
Bonus points if you
Have worked on a growth team before
Possess hands-on experience with Python or iOS
Care about users and want to make their experience easier and better
Are more of a “get it done” type person than a perfectionist
Aren’t afraid to throw away code you wrote when after testing, a flow you built doesn’t work as well as another one
Can easily communicate with non-technical folks and translate their feedback into code.
Are comfortable defaulting to over-communication and overreaching when it comes to coordination.
Adjust quickly to changing priorities and conditions and cope effectively with complexity and change.
Let's talk about the benefits. Here are a few perks you can look forward to:
This is a permanent position

Your key areas of focus :
If you’ve ever seen The Tinder Swindler , FYRE, or The Wizard of Lies you know fraud is an infinitely repeating social struggle that leaves the most vulnerable to pay the price. The Risk team at Sendwave builds and supports everything needed to aggregate the individual fraud cases and stop the scheme from ever being lucrative for the fraudster.
This includes integration of vendor tools, training new fraud/anomaly detection algorithms, supporting our risk operations teams, and improving our monitoring capabilities. You’ll leverage your Data-to-Insights skills to develop accurate, targeted defenses that remove fraud from our platform.
In your first few months you’ll:
Set KPIs and scope constraints for new modeling projects to decrease our information lag between fraud happening and us receiving feedback of its presence.
Develop heuristics to quickly fight fraud.
Identify missing tooling and suggested verification actions to help our risk representatives make sense of the system’s decision to block and correctly assess the situation.
Evaluate and spec out integrations for new data sources for our fraud detection algorithms.
Diligently work to lower false-positive rates
Develop strategies to detect previously unseen patterns that may indicate a new fraud attack.
Develop strategies and tools to help less technical individuals develop fraud-fighting heuristics.
Automate the training and deployment of updated models.
Develop a new anomaly detection algorithm, helping us spot strange behavior before a chargeback occurs.
Help build experiments to evaluate new models, third-party data sources, and tooling.
We're building out a best-in-class Risk infrastructure that can enable us to grow and we're hoping to find an engineering manager that's excited to solve data-driven problems in an adversarial environment.
What you bring to the table:
4+ years of professional experience training and deploying models.
At least 3 years creating production models or building analysis in the industry
At least 1 year managing an engineering team of 3-5 people
Work authorization in the country in which you intend to be based.
Possess strong python software development skills.
You like building data driven systems and know SQL.
Have strong engineering fundamentals — you've built applications in python as well as trained model and are comfortable with supporting all layers of the stack.
Demonstrate tenacity and a willingness to go the distance to get something done. You don't mind doing things manually but automate at every opportunity.
Are inquisitive, intellectually curious and can make sense of complex systems or information.
Can work in a structured approach towards goals and pay attention to detail.
Can easily communicate with non-technical folks and translate their feedback into code.
Are comfortable defaulting to over-communication and overreaching when it comes to coordination.
Adjust quickly to changing priorities and conditions and cope effectively with complexity and change.
Have developed models that deal with extreme class imbalance
Have worked in a team of mixed talent before (Data Scientists, ML Engineers, Backend Engineers)
Have fraud or financial experience.
Key details:
Team Composition: The Risk Team is a combination of ML engineers, Operation Specialists, and Data Scientists. Functionally the team is comprised of three pillars (Operations, Data Science, and Engineering) that collaborate in all sprint and quarterly planning meetings to create a balanced roadmap. You will be responsible for the Data Science pillar and directly manage both Data Scientists and Engineers.
Team Philosophy: The team functions on a 2-week sprint cycle with a Results Only Work Environment meaning you won’t be micromanaged but instead given the creative space needed to thrive in a highly collaborative setting
Location:
Our company is 100% remote, and has been since we were founded. Sendwave hires new team members in countries around the world. All of our roles are remote, however some roles may carry specific location-based eligibility requirements.

Your key area of focus
To achieve our mission, we need to make sure our app is easy to use — for every interaction, from signup to sending, to editing info, to resetting passwords. You’ll work closely with our Product team to fix highly impactful user problems, and A/B test interface changes — to make the experience even smoother and quicker. You’ll eventually become one of the primary code owners of our iOS app. You’ll also become a go-to person when another team member needs help with a difficult iOS problem. Beyond iOS you’ll be working across client and server, looking at the broader picture, providing end-to-end solutions.
In your first few months, you'll...
Advise other engineers on iOS development questions and challenges.
Assist with prioritizing efforts to refactor existing code to use modern best practices.
Supervise and oversee technical aspects of development projects.
Work with other teams within Sendwave to solve business problems.
Streamline in-app signup and verification flows.
Set up A/B tests to measure the impact of your work.
Help us build a top-tier referral program, to help users share their love of Sendwave with their friends.
What you bring to the table...
5 - 7 years professional experience as a full stack or mobile engineer.
Significant experience working with iOS. You don’t need to have every detail of the iOS environment memorised — but should have a strong foundation, so you can figure out those details when needed.
Familiarity with both Objective C and Swift.
Work authorization for the country where your role is based.
Bonus points if you
Have previously worked on a growth team.
Care about users, and want to give them an improved, simpler experience.
Are more of a “get it done” than a “perfectionist” type person — you value getting features into the hands of our users.
Aren’t afraid to throw away code you wrote - because after testing, a flow you built doesn’t work as well as a different one.
Easily communicate with non-technical team members, and can translate their feedback into code.
Are comfortable defaulting to over-communication and overreaching when it comes to coordination
Adjust quickly and effectively to shifting priorities, conditions, complexity and change.
Have hands-on experience with Python or Android.
The benefits and perks you’ll enjoy...
Convenient, remote working. Sendwave is 100% remote.
Subsidized health insurance and pension contribution-matching (both vary from country-to-country)
26 weeks fully paid parental leave, and subsidized fertility assistance
Unlimited vacation with a 20-day minimum requirement
Upto $10,000 annual charitable donation-matching
