- Technical Direction: Lead architecture and the highest-risk work across interconnected systems, and set practical standards for quality, reliability, security, and maintainability
- Cross-Team Delivery: Own ambiguous, cross-team initiatives from problem definition through measurable outcomes by setting priorities, resolving dependencies, and keeping execution moving
- Product Judgment: Find important problems before they're assigned, and tie technical decisions to customer needs, business priorities, cost, and risk
- Cross-Team Influence: Align teams with different priorities using context, evidence, and sound judgment rather than formal authority
- Organizational Improvement: Create practices, tooling, documentation, and guardrails that improve delivery and operational effectiveness across Engineering
- Developing Others: Coach engineers and delegate meaningful ownership so you create more technical leaders instead of becoming a bottleneck

- You push relentlessly for reinvention: You're always asking "how can this be better?" -- in your work, in your craft, in yourself. Comfort is a signal to push harder, not coast. You'd rather build something better than defend something familiar.
- You crave autonomy: We trust our team with big challenges and the freedom to solve them. If you’re someone who takes initiative, is comfortable taking risks, and seeks input when needed, you’ll find the freedom here empowering.
- You own your work: You take pride in your work, follow through on commitments, and feel a deep sense of responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.
- You build with AI, not just use it: You're actively embedding AI into how you work, pushing what's possible, and bringing your team along with you.
- You care about impact, not noise: You care deeply about the substance of your work. You measure success by results, not recognition, and you let your work speak for itself.
- You’re energized by complexity and ambiguity: You enjoy tackling problems that don’t come with a playbook. You’re comfortable building from scratch, iterating as you go, and collaborating to shape the best path forward.
- You seek out feedback: You see directness as respect, not criticism. You actively seek input, sit with hard truths, and use feedback as fuel for improvement.
- Small businesses are why we're here: Relay exists to help them thrive -- and that mission has to resonate with you.
- We're looking for people who are relentless, curious, and care deeply about the work. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't perfectly match the job description -- your perspective and drive matter more. We welcome diverse backgrounds and people who think critically, challenge the status quo, and want to help small businesses thrive.
