As an engineer at Flywire, you won't be bogged down by repetitive boilerplate. Instead, you will plug directly into our deeply integrated AI ecosystem, operating as an advanced AI-augmented developer. We provide you with premium enterprise AI tools like Claude Code, giving you the leverage to analyse complex codebases, architect new features, and modernise legacy systems at a velocity and scale that few traditional engineering environments can offer.

Critical Evaluation: Evaluate AI-generated solutions and peer code against real-world performance, edge cases, and object-oriented design best practices to ensure strict FinTech security, scaling, and performance requirements are never sacrificed for speed.

Global Collaboration: Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams across the globe including senior architects, product, SRE, and security to deliver reliable solutions.

Client & System Impact: Assist in the technical implementation of our product for new and existing clients, resolving complex technical requests in partnership with our application support teams.
