Relay is entering an exciting new chapter, and we're hiring an Engineering Manager, Accounts to help shape our next stage of scale. You'll make high-impact, strategic decisions every day, with direct influence over a product used and loved by thousands of small businesses.

Our Accounts team owns Relay's multi-account structure, the core of what makes Relay different: the layer where every dollar a business earns gets a job. In this role, you'll help make that structure smart, recommending the right accounts and automated transfer rules based on how a business actually operates, and adapting them as the business changes. The goal is to make the bank replace the spreadsheets and mental math owners rely on today.

• People Management & Development: Build and grow a high-performing engineering team through hiring, onboarding, coaching, and performance management

• Culture & Growth: Foster a collaborative, feedback-driven environment that supports continuous learning and professional development; encourage mentorship and knowledge sharing while creating opportunities for team development
