About this role

The Senior Software Engineer (Voyager) role is a full-time, remote-friendly position based in Toronto, ON, ideal for a curious developer passionate about applied artificial intelligence and financial technology infrastructure. Relay is seeking an impact-driven engineer to join its Voyager team, which functions as an innovation center exploring emerging technologies and building robust AI foundations for digital banking products.

Role Overview

Relay provides a digital banking platform designed to give small business owners clarity, confidence, and control over their finances. The Voyager engineering team acts as an exploratory arm, looking ahead to what is next for the platform. This position spans both ends of the technical spectrum, requiring the creation of hardened infrastructure that other teams rely upon as well as prototyping bleeding-edge concepts that may not yet exist. The ideal candidate finds excitement in tackling complex problems and values solid foundational engineering just as much as an impressive end user experience.

Key Responsibilities

Build and deploy secure, reusable Large Language Model systems that drive differentiated product experiences across their complete lifecycle.
Lead exploratory research and development initiatives to evaluate emerging technologies and provide clear adoption recommendations.
Equip engineering teams across the organization with the tooling, patterns, and guidance necessary to ship AI workflows safely and swiftly.
Partner consultatively with product teams by acting as the resident AI expert to guide technical decision-making.
Proactively identify opportunities for technical and product enhancement to continuously raise the engineering bar.

Requirements

Three or more years of full-stack software engineering experience.
Demonstrated success leading the development of major components or features with minimal oversight.
Ability to seamlessly transition between rough exploratory spikes and production-grade software built to last.
Strong critical judgment regarding the genuine utility of emerging technologies versus temporary hype.
Dedication to mentoring junior engineers, fostering team skill development, and driving code quality.

Nice to Have

Background working in high-growth technology companies or startups.
Hands-on creation of retrieval systems, self-hosted open models, evaluation frameworks, or agentic workflows.
Prior experience designing shared services or developer platforms for other engineering teams.
Familiarity with JavaScript alongside core proficiency in TypeScript, React, and Node.js.
Working knowledge of continuous deployment pipelines and Amazon Web Services including ECS, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, and Lambda.

Skills and Tools

TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js
AWS, Terraform
LLMs and AI infrastructure
Cursor, Claude, GitHub, GitHub Actions, Datadog, Jira, Metabase

Salary and Benefits

The annual salary range for this position spans from $144,000 CAD to $176,000 CAD, with a typical starting salary of $160,000 CAD for candidates demonstrating full readiness for the role. Compensation at Relay is tied directly to impact and grows as responsibilities expand outside of rigid annual review cycles.
