Relay is building the web3 messenger. We are looking for talented and motivated front-end engineers of all experience levels. Relay engineers thrive in a high-growth, high-velocity environment where success depends on the highest levels of communication, code quality, and pragmatism. Each engineer must be able to individually own a slice of the Relay codebase while also maintaining a working knowledge of others. Accordingly, Relay is looking for team members who are not only highly-skilled individual contributors but also strong collaborators and communicators.
