Engineering Manager, Risk Engineering

Overview

Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.

Relay is entering an exciting new chapter of growth. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager on our Risk Engineering team , as we continue scaling. This is an opportunity to come in and build your team from the ground up and work on a greenfield product for Relay. You'll make high-impact decisions daily and have direct influence on building a product loved by thousands of users.

Please note that we are a hybrid environment and choose to collaborate in the office three days a week (Tues-Thurs).

About the team

Relay’s Risk Engineering team builds automated systems that detect, prevent, and reduce financial risk and fraud, while maintaining a frictionless experience for legitimate customers and minimizing manual intervention. Our goal is simple : enable Relay to grow safely, confidently, and without unnecessary friction.
