Cross-border payments platform for migrant remittances and financial services
Remitee operates a cross-border payments infrastructure serving banking, e-wallet, and fintech partners across Latin America. The tech stack—.NET, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis on Azure and AWS—reflects a distributed, message-driven architecture designed for high-throughput transaction processing. Hiring is senior-weighted (10 of 18 roles) and skewed toward sales (5) over engineering (3), suggesting a shift from product-market fit validation into commercial expansion; active projects center on client onboarding, QA maturity, and data pipeline work, pointing to scaling pressures around operational reliability and partner integration.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Marketing
Remitee is a fintech infrastructure provider enabling cross-border instant payments, with particular focus on migrant remittances to Latin America. The platform serves as an operating system for banks, e-wallets, and payments companies, handling the core payment rails, compliance, and settlement logic. Founded in 2017 and incubated at MIT, Remitee operates across Argentina and Chile with hiring extending into Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico. The product moves beyond traditional money transfer by allowing senders and receivers to direct funds toward specific services (utilities, education, healthcare) in the destination country, addressing a core pain point in the remittance market: end-user choice and transparency.
Remitee uses .NET and SQL Server for core backend services, PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data persistence, Kafka and RabbitMQ for event streaming and messaging, Redis for caching, and Azure and AWS for cloud infrastructure. Testing is built on xUnit, NUnit, and Appium; monitoring via Power BI.
Priority projects include streamlining client onboarding processes, improving QA and automated testing frameworks, optimizing payment reconciliation flows, evolving the design system, and building data solutions in Databricks for operational insights and compliance monitoring.
