Associate Software Engineer, Embedded Development
Relay is the Intelligent System of Action for the physical economy.

We aren't just selling radios, we’re building the digital foundation for the 80% of the global workforce that doesn't work at a desk.
Why Join Relay?

- High Value, High Impact: With 47% of our revenue from $100K+ ARR customers and 135% Net Revenue Retention (NRR), you'll be joining a company rooted in value creation.

Now, here’s what we’re building, and where you come in.
About the Role/Team
We're looking for an Associate Software Engineer to join our Embedded Development team. This is a small, high-performance team within a fast-growing organization where you'll have real ownership and responsibility from day one. You'll ramp up quickly, work across a broad and interesting tech stack, and have a direct impact on hundreds of thousands of physical devices in the hands of frontline workers.
At the heart of our stack is Android/AOSP — our embedded devices run custom builds of the Android Open Source Project, and you'll work directly in that environment. Beyond AOSP, our hardware spans a range of embedded platforms including STM32, nRF52/53, and ESP32, giving you exposure across both Linux-based and traditional bare-metal embedded systems. The full stack also touches cellular communication, voice processing, and AI — making this one of the broader embedded roles you'll find at the associate level.
This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who's genuinely excited about how hardware and software come together, and who wants to solve real problems for real people.
What You’ll Do
- Collaborate closely with device, QA, platform suppliers, external companies, and third-party contractors to identify and resolve hardware and software issues.
