Relay is fundamentally reshaping how goods move in an online era. Backed by Europe’s largest-ever logistics Series A ($35M), led by deep-tech investors Plural (whose portfolio spans fusion energy and space exploration), Relay is scaling faster than 99.98% of venture-backed startups. We're assembling the most talent-dense team the logistics industry has ever seen Relay’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. THE TEAM • ~110 people , more than half in engineering, product and data • 45+ advanced degrees across computer science, mathematics and operations research • Thousands of data points captured, calculated, analysed and predicted for every single parcel we handle • An intellectually vibrant culture of first‑principles thinking , tight feedback loops and relentless experimentation The Opportunity As 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. You 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. You 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 matter
