Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.
At Relay, our Product team is responsible for shaping our small business banking platform. We talk to customers constantly, dive deep into the challenges they face running their businesses and work together with them to build helpful, delightful tools & financial services. Examples from the last year include automated savings accounts & expense management.
Are you passionate about the intersection of design and front end engineering? We’re looking for a Design Engineer to help design the future of SMB banking – and the future of the Design function at Relay. You’ll be joining a hungry team at an early stage so you’ll have a massive impact to shape our product.
Concept, prototype, and build experiences across Relay’s product lines. You’ll mainly be focused on execution improving the look, feel, and usability of Relay.
Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering, to translate ideas into interfaces. You’ll prototype and iterate quickly, refining designs based on feedback.
Raise the bar and push the limits of our current product, exploring areas like motion. You’ll push boundaries, explore new directions, and decide how we get there.
Support technical and design debt reduction initiatives, refactoring legacy parts of our product to reflect more optimized design solutions.
Expand and help maintain Telegraph, our design system. You’ll work on components, foundations, and patterns that enhance our developer and designer experience, and ensure a seamless user experience across our product.
Advocate for craft, design, and the front-end across the organization. You’ll mentor team members across disciplines and help grow technical capabilities through knowledge sharing.
You have 5+ years experience working in product design and/or front-end engineering roles.
Experience building and maintaining design systems and component libraries. Terms like tokens, variables, foundations and patterns should be familiar to you.
Familiarity with modern design tools (Figma) and experience prototyping at different levels of fidelity.
Systems thinker with an understanding of how the small things fit into the big picture.
Strong visual design skills with an eye for detail. You demonstrate proficiency in layout, typography, and visual hierarchy.
Builder at heart with a focus on using the web as a storytelling medium. Show us something cool you’ve built recently: a component with a micro interaction, a webGL experiment, some 3D art, anything at all.
Advanced knowledge of front-end foundations like HTML and CSS.
Proficiency with React, and Typescript.
Knowledge of Tailwind and Framer Motion.
