Security Engineer

Help plan and run security simulations, and contribute to the security awareness program that comes out of them

Review how sensitive customer and financial data is accessed in Relay's admin dashboards, and help implement improvements

Contribute to strengthening security for our developer environments, including tooling, packages, and access to production

Work alongside delivery, IT, and business teams to turn test findings into tangible fixes, and follow them through to done

Develop and manage Cyber Awareness exercises, including internal phishing attacks

Research emerging threats (e.g. AI misuse, supply chain risks, identity and access challenges, Shadow IT) and help the team figure out what they mean in Relay's context

Share what you find in a way that educates and drives action, building your voice in Relay's security culture

You have roughly 2–4 years of experience in security, or in an adjacent technical role (IT, infrastructure, software engineering, SOC) with meaningful security exposure

You have a solid grasp of security fundamentals: how systems get attacked, how they get defended, and why. You may have gone deep on one side and be eager to learn the other

You can script (Python, Bash, PowerShell, JavaScript, etc.) well enough to automate a task, pull apart data, or build a small tool, and you're comfortable getting better at it

You're comfortable working in cloud and developer environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure; GitHub, CI/CD) and can find your way around them

You're motivated by closing the loop. You don't just want to identify vulnerabilities, you want to see them fixed

You're curious, pragmatic, and collaborative; you ask questions early, you say when you're stuck, and exploring new threats gives you energy

You can explain a technical finding to someone who isn't in security without losing them

You thrive in fast paced environments and embrace change

You have hands-on experience with adversary simulation, detection engineering, penetration testing, incident response, or vulnerability management

You understand authentication and access protocols (SSO, OAuth, SAML, OpenID Connect) or have worked with zero trust principles

You have used tools across the security stack, from SIEM, IPS, WAF and EDR to vulnerability scanners and security automation platforms

You have experience with cloud IAM, networking, or containerized systems like Docker or Kubernetes

You have participated in purple, red, or blue team rituals

You have experience in fintech, SaaS, or scaling tech companies

You have public security contributions, CTF participation, a home lab, bug bounties, talks, research, or OSS tooling

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.
