Key skills for this role
Threat modeling & offensive testing: Threat model technical design documents (TDDs) and run white-box penetration tests on our testing environment to identify vulnerabilities from an attacker’s point of view.
VDP & bug bounty: Triage researcher reports, reproduce/assess impact, coordinate fixes with owners, and close the loop with clear comms and durable controls.
Shipping the fixes you can: Contributing directly to Relay’s code base when it makes sense — writing the patch, not filing the ticket.
Working in our security tooling and extending it : Datadog security, secrets scanning and logging, Burp Suite, and in-house tools you'll be expected to modify rather than just operate.
Building with AI as a default : Claude Code and Cursor are daily drivers on this team, not a pilot program.
Joining the team's rhythms : Two weekly standups, a biweekly security champions session with product engineers, and a weekly Hack The Box session.
Software supply chain: Enforce provenance: SBOM on every build, dependency pinning/owner verification, private registries/proxies, and runtime SCA detections.
You have 5 to 6 years of professional security experience. Application security, penetration testing, or product security engineering or similar roles.
You've shipped production code: Production-level software real users depended on. And you can read an unfamiliar codebase well enough to fix something in it, which is most of this job.
Security fundamentals: Deep understanding of OWASP Top 10 and real-world exploitation/mitigation techniques.
You build with AI. You use AI tooling in your daily work and you've built something with it. You can talk about where it gets things wrong, not just that it's fast.
Clear communicator & collaborator: you are a collaborator who loves to partner with developers to bring value to customers in the most secure way possible.

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.
