Relay is a digital banking platform serving self-made business owners with tools for financial clarity and cash flow management. You'll join the Core Banking team, which builds the resilient infrastructure powering ACH transfers, wire transfers (domestic and international), and payment systems that keep money moving securely.
Your mission is to scale quality operations and build testing frameworks, CI pipelines, and tooling for distributed systems that enable development velocity across Relay's engineering teams. This is a hands-on role with significant technical leverage—you'll own the quality roadmap for Risk Engineering and build quality frameworks for Core Banking systems.
Key responsibilities include: owning the quality roadmap and building QE frameworks for Core Banking; building and improving CI infrastructure with migration to ministack (testing lambdas and microservices locally using Wiremock, Localstack, PSQL); driving shift-left practices so developers write tests as part of deliverables; diagnosing and removing bottlenecks in quality operations; building developer-focused tools with minimal third-party dependencies; mentoring junior quality engineers; and presenting quality metrics and defect data to engineering leadership and executives.
You'll spend roughly 75% of your time hands-on building and 25% on influence activities (ceremonies, mentorship, evangelism, adoption).
You have deep experience building quality engineering systems from the ground up—frameworks, test suites, and CI systems, not just tests. You've tested distributed systems (services, lambdas, microservices, real-time applications) in CI environments and understand system architecture deeply. You can influence development teams to adopt quality practices, debug from first principles using code/logs/traces, gather and present quality data to executives, and are AI-fluent in practice. You thrive in fast-moving agile teams comfortable with ambiguity.
