Backed by Europe’s largest-ever logistics Series A ($35M) led by deep-tech investors Plural, and a recently closed Series B ($95M), Relay is scaling faster than 99% of venture-backed startups. We're assembling the most talent-dense team the logistics industry has ever seen\nRelay’s Mission is to free commerce from friction. Today, high delivery costs act as a hidden tax on e-commerce, quietly shaping what can be sold online and limiting who can participate. We envision a world where more goods move more freely between more people, making the online shopping experience seamless and accessible to everyone.\nTHE TEAM\n\n~160 people, around half in engineering, product and data\n45+ advanced degrees across computer science, mathematics and operations research\nThousands of data points captured, calculated, analysed and predicted for every single parcel we handle\nAn intellectually vibrant culture of first-principles thinking, tight feedback loops and relentless experimentation\nThe Opportunity\nAs an Engineering Manager, you are accountable for both leading the team and shipping outcomes. Your primary focus is building a team that executes well: setting clear direction, coaching engineers and tech leads, and ensuring work moves from idea to production reliably and at pace.\nYou stay close to the codebase. While this is not a full-time individual contributor role, you actively review meaningful changes, pair on complex problems, and step in on high-impact or time-sensitive work when needed. You understand the system deeply enough to make good technical calls, unblock the team, and raise the quality bar through example.\nYou run a team that owns what it builds. That means turning ambiguity into plans, plans into delivery, and delivery into real-world impact. You work tightly with Product, Design, and Operations to make tradeoffs explicit and keep the team focused on what matters most.\nYou continuously raise standards across developer velocity, code quality, observability, incident response, user analytics, and product engagement. When things break, you’re involved. When execution slows, you diagnose the root cause. When the bar needs to move, you move it.\nYou also grow the team by hiring strong engineers, giving direct and timely feedback, running a fair performance process, and helping people grow in ways that compound over time.\nWho Will Thrive in This Role?\nYou’re comfortable spending most of your time leading and enabling others, while still being willing, and able, to dive into the work when it matters.\n\nYou take full ownership of outcomes and don’t wait for permission to improve things.\n\nYou care deeply about the people using and operating the systems you build: couriers, retailers, operatives, teammates, and consumers.\n\nYou do well in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and bring structure through action, not ceremony.\n\nYou communicate clearly, give direct feedback, listen carefully, and collaborate deliberately.\n\nYou’ll take on any problem, technical or otherwise, if it unblocks the team or improves results.\n\nFast and Focused Hiring Process\nTalent Acquisition Interview - 30 min\n\nHiring Manager Interview - 60 min\n\nTechnical Interview - 2 hours\n\nValues & Impact Interview - 1 hour\n\nDecision and offer within 48 hours. Our process mirrors our pace of work.\n\nWho Thrives at Relay?\nAim with Precision: You define problems clearly and measure your impact meticulously.\n\nPlay to Win: You chase bold bets, tackle the hard stuff, and view constraints as fuel, not friction.\n\n1% Better Every Day: You believe that small, consistent improvements lead to exponential growth. You move quickly, deliver results, and learn from every experience.\n\nAll In, All the Time: You show up and step up. You take ownership from start to finish and do what it takes to deliver when it counts.\n\nPeople-Powered Greatness: You invest in your teammates. You give and receive feedback with care and candour. You build trust through high standards and shared success.\n\nGrow the Whole Pie: You seek out win-win solutions for merchants, couriers, and our customers, because when they thrive, so do we. If these resonate, and you combine strong technical fundamentals with entrepreneurial drive, let’s connect.\n\nRelay is an equal-opportunity employer committed to diversity, inclusion, and fostering a workplace where everyone thrives.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4415,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T18:42:55Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-17T06:21:15+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":24,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.445,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":43,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/relay-technologies-limited-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/relay-technologies-limited-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T12:12:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16141,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3799710},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3799710"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frelay-technologies-limited-engineering-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frelay-technologies-limited-engineering-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frelay-technologies-limited-engineering-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/relay-technologies-limited-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frelay-technologies-limited-engineering-manager"}]}
