About Zepz
Zepz is the group powering two leading global remittance brands: WorldRemit and Sendwave. Since 2010, we have been disrupting an industry previously dominated by offline legacy players with our relentless focus on reducing the cost of remittances and increasing safety and convenience for our users.
Every day, our people work to unlock the prosperity of cross-border communities through finance and technology - driven by our vision of a world that celebrates migrants’ impact on prosperity, at home and abroad.
In 2023, our brands helped cross-border communities send over $15bn from 50 countries to recipients in 130 countries. We operate over 2800 money transfer corridors worldwide and employ over 1,000 people globally. Zepz is a remote-first employer, with team members located across six continents
Come join us!
Our Commitments:
- We act like owners - We are relentlessly delivering for our users and spending money thoughtfully.
- We embrace embarrassing honesty - We function best when we're open and honest with one another — especially about our challenges and doubts.
- We have a bias to action - We get to first outcomes quickly, iterate and learn.
- We strive to be better - We may make mistakes, but always learn from them.
- We are inclusive - to better reflect and serve our users.
About the role:
The AI & ML Applications team is committed to empower other Zepz teams to leverage data in order to solve analytical problems. We are a team of data scientists and machine learning engineers that work together to go from ideation to production. We own end-to-end data engineering pipelines and ML models that span multiple applications (think fraud detection, time series prediction of financial data, churn prediction and more).
What you will do:
- Help shape what we build. Our current tech stack includes Airflow, Fivetran, DBT, Databricks and DynamoDB and is primarily in Python, leveraging some of the most used machine learning packages. You will build and maintain data pipelines and scalable machine learning inference systems in production.
- Own delivery. We’re driven by shipping value; you’ll own work beyond just a pull request. You’ll care about bugs, scalability, uptime and other non-functional requirements.
- Grow together. You’ll review other’s work and happily seek feedback on yours to ensure we build a better codebase and sharpen each other's skills. We believe in developing our people so you will be an important part of mentoring juniors in the team.
- Collaborate. You’ll be working closely with Product Owners, Data Scientists, Analysts and other Engineers to design and refine our work. We work as a team and your input will be key in many architectural decisions (some that you would own) and in driving consensus.
What you bring to the table:
- You are a software engineer at heart, and you take pride in writing well-designed, robust, and maintainable code to solve problems. We understand code is read more than it’s written, and better off tested. Maintainability is a must.
- Extensive Industrial experience designing and productionising ML systems.
- Solid understanding of Machine Learning fundamentals and ability to translate business requirements into machine learning solutions.
- Experience in statistical experiment design and performance analysis of machine learning models.
- Strong experience with Python, SQL and machine learning frameworks. Some data engineering experience is preferred (Databricks and Airflow are some of the platforms we use, but any equivalent experience is appreciated).
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Bias for action. You see a problem, you fix a problem. You get buy-in for your solutions and keep tickets moving. We’re always looking for ways to ship at pace.
- Opinionated. We want you to actively contribute to discussions and help build a shared understanding within the team and organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
