  1. Imagine a user in the Philippines receives a remittance from the US, but the funds are delayed. As a Software Engineer, how would you approach debugging this issue, considering Remitly's microservices architecture and potential bottlenecks in payment processing or FX conversion?

    Software EngineerDebugging and System UnderstandingTests: Evaluates debugging skills, understanding of distributed systems, and ability to reason about complex technical issues within Remitly's context.

  2. Remitly is processing billions of dollars in remittances globally. Design a highly available and scalable system for notifying users (both sender and receiver) about the status of their transfer, considering potential network partitions and ensuring low latency.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Assesses system design capabilities, scalability considerations, and fault tolerance in a high-volume, distributed environment.

  3. A customer reports that their remittance transaction was declined unexpectedly. Walk me through the potential causes from a software perspective, and outline how you would investigate, focusing on areas like payment gateway integration, fraud detection systems, or compliance checks.

    Software EngineerDebugging and Problem SolvingTests: Tests logical deduction, understanding of transaction lifecycles, and troubleshooting skills for common transaction failures.

  4. Remitly's mobile app experiences intermittent performance issues in certain regions, particularly during peak remittance times. How would you instrument the mobile application to collect relevant performance metrics and diagnose the root cause?

    Software EngineerPerformance Monitoring and DebuggingTests: Evaluates understanding of performance monitoring tools, mobile application architecture, and data collection strategies.

  5. Design a rate limiter for Remitly's API that handles a massive influx of requests from users sending money, particularly during holiday seasons. Consider different strategies (e.g., token bucket, leaky bucket) and how you would handle distributed rate limiting across multiple services.

    Software EngineerSystem Design and ScalabilityTests: Assesses knowledge of distributed systems, concurrency control, and designing for high throughput and availability.

  6. How would you implement a feature that allows users to schedule remittances for a future date? Consider potential challenges related to recurring payments, time zones, and ensuring the transaction is processed accurately at the scheduled time.

    Software EngineerFeature Implementation and ConcurrencyTests: Tests understanding of scheduling systems, time zone management, and transactional integrity.
