Engineering Manager, Application Security

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'.
Relay is entering an exciting new chapter of growth and we’re looking for an Engineering Manager, Application Security to join our Trust team. Your love of making high-impact decisions daily and desire to help shape the future of Relay is going to be crucial. The team’s vision is “Protecting the cathedral while enabling the bazaar” - quite a challenge in a fintech business. This is an opportunity to get in at ground level and help evolve our security posture as we grow.
Our Engineering Manager, Application Security will be required to work from our downtown Toronto office (2-days per week).
