I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Remitly (Apex, NC) in Oct 2021
Interview
Recruiting team was very communicative during the whole process and helped me schedule interviews for times that worked well for me. Full interview loop consisted of 5 rounds of 1 hour interviews. I had a good experience with 4 of my interviewers but had a bad experience with 1. That particular interviewer went straight into coding and was completely disinterested during the whole one hour. The interviewer was concentrated on something else and would ask me to reiterate my questions during multiple occasions. They also abruptly ended the interview at the end and didn’t allow me to ask any questions.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Remitly (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2026
Interview
HR call then a coding round. In the 60m coding round the actual problem needed to be solved was just 30m, rest 30 min was behavioral + talk about past projects.
The coding question wasn't a typical "this is the answer" question and it should pass these test cases.
First round was Recruiter phone screen
Second round was 1 hour technical interview (leet code)
Third round was 4 - 1 hour technical interview panel (2 coding questions one systems design one call with product manager)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Remitly
Interview
1. Recruiter Screening
2. Tech Screening with an engineer (single 1 hour interview)
3. Onsite rounds with managers, engineers, and program managers. This is usually 3 to 4 interviews with behavioral questions and whiteboard coding questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a set of bank accounts with dollar amounts and a threshold, find the number of transfers needed to get all accounts to meet the threshold amount. Be careful of edge cases, like if there isn't enough money. Some interviewers will want you to throw an error, but others may not.
For the behavioral questions, make sure that you show that you're a team player. They care about this just as much as you're individual coding skills.
