BANKING SOFTWARE SPECIALIST H/F

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'.

Our Engineering team is at the heart of building banking products that help millions of small businesses succeed. We’re on a journey to reinvent banking, and we’re looking for a curious, impact-driven Software Engineer to join our growing team – someone who thrives on taking smart risks, experimenting boldly, and learning from every challenge.

You’ll tackle complex problems head-on, ship high-quality, robust code, and shape systems that power our products. This is a unique opportunity to work across our full product suite, influence technical decisions, and deliver end-to-end features that customers love. If you’re excited about building best-in-class fintech products in a fast-growing, collaborative environment, this is the role for you.
