Software Engineer Intern

Relay Launchpad Intern: Software Engineer - Device Team

Relay, a dynamic and rapidly growing tech startup based in Raleigh, NC is on a mission to revolutionize frontline work. For decades, technology has supercharged the desk worker while leaving behind the 80% of the global workforce who don’t sit at a desk. The builders, the caregivers, the operators, the movers—the frontline—still rely on walkie-talkies, paper notes, and shouted instructions.

At Relay, we believe it’s time for a change. Our smart, rugged radios and connected cloud ecosystem harness the power of voice and AI to close this digital chasm. We’re building tools that meet frontline workers where they are, capturing tribal knowledge, and turning communication into action. By transforming every spoken word into intelligence, we’re delivering safety, productivity, and empowerment to the workers who keep our world moving.

We are looking for a Software Engineer Intern who is a motivated and ambitious undergraduate (or graduate) student with an expected graduation date of December 2027 or Spring 2028 to join our mobile device product team. This opportunity is a paid internship during the summer 2027. High-performing interns may be considered for full-time roles after graduation, depending on business needs.

What makes our Sumer Intern program different:

• Executive and senior leadership team exposure - regular touchpoints with Relay's leadership team, including Q&A coffee chats, Breakfast with the CEO, and working sessions.
• Cross-functional cohort - work alongside interns across every part of the business, not just your team.
• Structured learning - regular skill-building sessions covering topics from product strategy to financial modeling to sales craft to professional networking and interviewing skills.
• Real ownership - you'll own a project from kickoff to final presentation, with mentors and fellow Relayers who are invested in your success. 
• Intern showcase - present your work to the full company at the end of the summer
• Raleigh HQ experience - team lunches, volunteer Intern Impact day, social events, and a chance to see how a scaling tech company operates up close!
