- Experience with cloud computing (AWS, GCP or Azure), infrastructure-as-code, and familiarity with cloud data warehouse platforms (Bigquery, Snowflake, Redshift, etc.)
- Experience with business intelligence / data visualization tools (Looker, Metabase, Periscope, Mode, etc.)
- A successful history of manipulating, processing and extracting value from large datasets and a curiosity for exploratory data analysis
- The ability to execute independently with the input of cross-functional stakeholders

- You seek out feedback: We value directness, clarity, and respect. We believe honesty fuels great work and career growth. You see feedback as a tool for learning and improvement, and you know that open, honest dialogue is key to achieving the best results — together
- You’re here for more than a job: At Relay, everything we do is in service of our mission to help small businesses thrive. To drive impact and have purpose here, that mission must matter to you too

Our take
Traditional banking options can feel outdated and tedious, especially if this includes in-person visits and waiting in line. This has led to the rise of online banking - but lots of smaller companies have to navigate multiple complicated applications in order to manage this business banking.
This is what Relay aims to fix. It's no-fee, online banking and money management platform looks to tackle financial complexity for SMBs. The company's goal is to fully automate the finance function using banking that deeply integrates into back-office systems. And its software is designed to affordably increase financial clarity and security, reducing the time spent on administrative tasks.
Relay is focused on its long-term goals and plans to scale up distribution and grow in sales, marketing, customer support, operations, engineering and product. The company currently serves thousands of SMBs across the US with the goal to get 100,000 small businesses over the next few years.
