Relay is fundamentally reshaping how goods move in an online era. Backed by Europe's largest-ever logistics Series A ($35M), led by deep-tech investors Plural (whose portfolio spans fusion energy and space exploration), Relay is scaling faster than 99.98% of venture-backed startups. We're assembling the most talent-dense team the logistics industry has ever seen Relay's Mission is to free commerce from friction. Today, high delivery costs act as a hidden tax on e-commerce, quietly shaping what can be sold online and limiting who can participate. We envision a world where more goods move more freely between more people, making the online shopping experience seamless and accessible to everyone. Team 110 people, more than half in engineering, product and data 45+ advanced degrees across computer science, mathematics and operations research Thousands of data points captured, calculated, analysed and predicted for every single parcel we handle An intellectually vibrant culture of first principles thinking, tight feedback loops and relentless experimentation The Opportunity Relay's Network squad builds the forecasting engine that powers every operational decision in the business. Demand forecasts drive shift release in sortation. Expansion models determine where the network grows. Parcel intelligence feeds route planning and vehicle loading. When the squad ships a better model, the impact multiplies across five consuming squads, Finance, and ultimately Relay's cost per parcel. The squad is growing from four people to ten: Data Scientists, Analysts, and a Software Engineer, each contributing to a system that spans demand forecasting, expansion modelling, parcel dimensions, sortation predictions, and demand management. That system has dependencies on Sortation, Middle Mile, Last Mile, Routing, and Commercial - plus Finance, who extend the operational forecasts into longer-range financial projections. It also supports four embedded analysts sitting in other squads across the business. As Programme Manager for the Network squad, you coordinate the delivery of this system. The role involves taking the squad's roadmap and turning it into a structured programme - tracking commitments, managing cross-squad dependencies, removing blockers, and keeping stakeholders informed. The specifics of the programme will develop as you ramp up and learn how the squad and its consuming teams work together. The squad lead sets technical direction and manages people. You work alongside them to keep the programme on track, supported by a team that values coordination and wants to deliver well. Relay operates a centralised data team of around 30 data engineers, analysts, and data scientists. The Network squad sits within this team and serves every operational squad in the business. You will work with the squad lead, the Data Scientists and analysts in the squad, and the leads of the five consuming squads. What You'll Do Coordinate the delivery programme for the Network squad: roadmap tracking, sprint management, cross-squad coordination, and dependency management across a 10-person team Manage dependencies with five consuming squads (Sortation, Middle Mile, Last Mile, Routing, Commercial) and Finance, ensuring that what Network delivers matches what those teams need and when they need it Run the squad's delivery cadence: cycle planning, triage, standups, retros, and cross-functional syncs Track commitments and surface risks early - identifying which initiatives are on track, which are slipping, and what needs to change Remove blockers that sit outside the squad: engineering dependencies, data access, stakeholder alignment, prioritisation conflicts with other squads Coordinate the work of four embedded analysts in other squads (Routing, Sortation, Middle Mile, and one TBC), ensuring alignment with Network's priorities Keep stakeholders informed with regular updates on what's shipped, what's in progress, and what's changed Support the squad lead by taking on operational coordination, freeing them to focus on technical direction, model quality, and strategic relationships Who Will Thrive in This Role? You have at least 5 years of experience in programme management, delivery management, or a similar coordination role, ideally in a technical or data-heavy environment. You have experience managing multiple workstreams. You have experience working in technical environments even if you're not a data scientist yourself. You can follow a conversation about model accuracy, forecast horizons, and pipeline reliability enough to know when something is blocked, behind, or being under-scoped. The squad will help you build domain knowledge as you ramp up. You have experience tracking commitments and following up when things stall. You bring structure to how teams track and deliver their work. You have experience coordinating across teams without direct authority - helping squads understand what's expected and when. You have experience communicating with stakeholders at different levels - giving a squad lead a quick update on a dependency, giving senior leadership a picture of the programme's health, and giving a Data Scientist an answer on when their work will be prioritised. You have experience managing dependencies and how work connects across teams. You plan for how one squad's timeline affects another's. Experience in logistics, data platforms, or forecasting environments is a plus, but what matters more is the ability to learn a complex technical domain quickly and manage a programme within it effectively. Who Thrives at Relay? Aim with Precision: You define problems clearly and measure your impact meticulously. Play to Win: You chase bold bets, tackle the hard stuff, and view constraints as fuel, not friction. 1% Better Every Day: You believe that small, consistent improvements lead to exponential growth. You move quickly, deliver results, and learn from every experience. All In, All the Time: You show up and step up. You take ownership from start to finish and do what it takes to deliver when it counts. People-Powered Greatness: You invest in your teammates. You give and receive feedback with care and candour. You build trust through high standards and shared success. Grow the Whole Pie: You seek out win win solutions for merchants, couriers, and our customers, because when they thrive, so do we. If these resonate, and you combine strong technical fundamentals with entrepreneurial drive, let's connect. Relay is an equal-opportunity employer committed to diversity, inclusion, and fostering a workplace where everyone thrives.

Staff Software Engineer At UnlikelyAI, we are building the future of AI: one that is reliable, accurate, and transparent. Our neurosymbolic technology harnesses the power of LLMs and generative AI, and combines it with Universal Language - our proprietary symbolic technology that bridges the gap between probabilistic machine learning and deterministic classical computing. Our products are already in use with major enterprises - including tier-1 banks and leading accountancy firms - across audit, compliance, and financial services. In compliance, we combine symbolic decision trees with LLM-powered evidence extraction to catch errors in financial reporting that human reviewers miss. In financial services, we use neurosymbolic guardrails to deliver accurate and explainable outcomes at scale. We are now building toward a platform - a public API and platform experience that will make our core neurosymbolic capabilities available to a broader set of customers and use cases. This is a pivotal moment: we're transitioning from bespoke customer engagements into a scalable product platform, and we need exceptional engineers to help us get there. The Role We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help shape the technical direction of our platform as we scale. This is a role for someone who combines deep hands on engineering ability with the judgement and influence to drive architecture and engineering quality across teams. You'll be one of our most experienced individual contributors - someone the team looks to for guidance on hard technical decisions, system design, and long term technical strategy. You'll spend most of your time writing code and solving complex problems, but you'll also be expected to identify the highest leverage work across squads, mentor other engineers, and raise the bar for how we build software. Our core capabilities span symbolic reasoning (decision trees, propositional graphs, knowledge graphs), document ingestion pipelines, and the APIs that expose these to customers. You'll work on genuinely novel problems at the intersection of classical symbolic AI and modern LLMs - for example, how to represent regulatory knowledge as machine evaluable rules, or how to build feedback loops that improve system accuracy over time. You'll work within a shared monorepo alongside software engineers, research engineers, and applied scientists in a heavily cross functional environment. We operate in small, focused product teams, supported by shared infrastructure, internal tooling, and an R&D function. What You Might Work On In your first months, you could find yourself working on any of the following: Defining the architecture for our new public API - making foundational decisions about authentication, scalability, versioning, and developer experience that will shape the platform for years. Leading the design and implementation of our document ingestion pipelines to handle new input formats (e.g. PDF, Word) and new regulatory jurisdictions at scale. Designing evaluation frameworks and benchmarks to measure and improve system accuracy - and establishing these as engineering norms across teams. Driving improvements to our deployment architecture for enterprise customers with specific cloud and security requirements. Owning the technical strategy for internal tooling and developer experience across the monorepo - identifying bottlenecks and leading initiatives to address them. Working on the symbolic reasoning engine that powers our products - including decision tree evaluation, rule generation, and knowledge graph construction. Identifying and leading cross cutting technical initiatives that improve reliability, performance, or engineering velocity across the organisation. You'll be successful here if you have deep expertise in Python, including writing well typed, well tested code in a collaborative codebase, and strong opinions on how to structure Python projects at scale. you have a proven track record in system design and architecture - you've made foundational technical decisions that shaped the trajectory of a product or platform. you've tackled complex algorithms and data structures and have experience working with non trivial algorithmic problems at scale. you care deeply about production quality engineering - you don't just advocate for software quality, you actively set the standards and build the culture around it. you have a track record of technical leadership - you've influenced technical direction across multiple teams or projects without necessarily having direct reports. you have significant experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) - services such as S3, ECR, ECS/EKS, and infrastructure managed via Terraform or similar - and can make informed architectural decisions about deployment and scalability. you have a bias for action - you move quickly, make informed decisions, and iterate without waiting for perfect information. you have a relevant degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or STEM - or equivalent practical experience. Other skills You don't need to tick every box below, but any of the following would strengthen your application: Monorepo experience - comfortable working in and improving a large, shared codebase with multiple product teams contributing. CI/CD pipelines - hands on experience with GitHub Actions or similar, ideally including designing and optimising CI infrastructure. Experience with document processing pipelines - PDF parsing, OCR, structured data extraction. Familiarity with knowledge representation - decision trees, knowledge graphs, ontologies, or symbolic reasoning systems. Experience with LLM integration in production systems - prompt engineering, evaluation, working with APIs such as Gemini, Claude, or OpenAI. Frontend experience with React and TypeScript - we value engineers who can contribute across the stack when needed. Experience in regulated industries - fintech, audit, compliance, insurance, or banking. Familiarity with the modern Python tooling ecosystem: uv for package management, ruff for linting, pyright or similar type checkers. Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog. Experience mentoring engineers and helping teams grow their technical capabilities. How We Work We're a team of around 30 people based primarily in the UK. We operate a hybrid working policy, with three days a week in our Central London office. Engineering is organised into product focused squads, supported by shared infrastructure and an R&D function. We work in a monorepo, deploy to AWS, and care deeply about developer experience - we're actively investing in modernising our tooling, CI, and repository structure. We run hackathons, we have strong opinions about code quality (held loosely), and we ship often. Our culture is collaborative and low ego: engineers regularly move between teams, pair on hard problems, and contribute ideas regardless of seniority. We take the work seriously, but not ourselves.

Role purpose Avanade UK Security is scaling fast, requiring a Director level Identity & Access Management (IAM) Lead to build a Microsoft first IAM growth engine across advisory, implementation, and managed services, with a strong bias toward repeatable offers, accelerated conversion, and delivery excellence. This role is also accountable for positioning Identity as the control plane for AI era security, including Microsoft Agent365, Copilot driven workflows, and emerging agent based architectures, ensuring UK Security is future proofed for the next generation of identity centric security demand. This role reports to the UK Security Practice Lead and leads presales/solutioning with a technical Solution Architect and Presales Lead. Furthermore, this role owns IAM GTM, delivery quality, capability/IP build while feeding into the Identity MSS module as part of the broader MSS portfolio (separate accountability, tight interlock). Travel expected for key clients, Microsoft, and Practice leadership commitments. Commercial expectations This role influences revenue and will carry a soft target aligned to the UK Security all up plan: Year1: $1-2m influenced growth. Year2: $2-3m influenced growth. Success is measured through supporting the sales team to generate pipeline, conversion of pipeline, expansion/attach of existing accounts, and repeatable delivery. Reporting line & operating model Reports to: UK Security Practice Lead Key peers: UK MSS Lead, UK Security Presales Lead, UK Security Solution Architects (x2 from other practices - Infrastructure, Software Engineering, Modern Workplace, Data & AI, Business Applications) People leadership: No formal line management initially; expected to act as Career Advisor/People Lead for a small number of individuals (mentorship, development, high performance standards). Matrix influence: Identity Solution Architect soft reports into the IAM Lead for practice level IAM direction, consistency, and capability build while security leadership team members continue to report to the Practice Lead. Success criteria First 6 months - A clear IAM "spine" for the practice: what we sell, how we sell it, how we deliver it, and what becomes service delivered across UK onshore, nearshore delivery centres, and offshore delivery centres. A repeatable presales motion for Entra led IAM (workshops/assessments/pilots scaled rollouts) that improves speed and win rate. Delivery governance and QA standards that reduce programme variability and escalations. 12 months - A scaled, Microsoft first IAM pipeline with a predictable conversion pattern. Demonstrable asset reuse (templates, reference architectures, automation patterns, delivery playbooks). A clear project to service pathway into Identity MSS (handover criteria, onboarding artefacts, operational KPIs etc.). 24 months - UK recognised as a credible IAM leader in regulated industries, with external presence (clients/Microsoft/events) supporting sustained growth. Key responsibilities IAM GTM & seller enablement (primary) - Own the UK IAM narrative and differentiation: Microsoft Entra first (Entra ID, Entra Suite/E7 positioning, Identity Protection, governance and lifecycle foundations etc.). Own the UK Security narrative and capability for identity centric AI security, including Microsoft Agent365, Copilot, and agent based workloads, where identity, permissions, and trust boundaries are the primary control mechanisms. Define how agent identities, agent permissions, human to agent and agent to agent trust, and data access are governed, monitored, and secured using Microsoft Entra and the broader Microsoft Security stack. Ensure IAM offerings explicitly address AI driven risk scenarios, including delegated agent access, over privileged identities, lateral agent movement, and non human identity sprawl. Position Identity as the foundational security layer for AI adoption, pulling through Entra, E7, Purview, Defender, and AI Security conversations as a single, coherent value proposition. Build IAM led GTM plays where AI security, Copilot adoption, and Agent365 are anchored in identity governance, access control, and trust, positioning IAM as the entry point rather than an implementation afterthought. Build practical seller enablement: talk tracks, qualification prompts, value proof, commercial guardrails, "what good looks like" etc. Create repeatable plays by industry and account segment where identity is the control plane for transformation and AI adoption. Presales leadership & solutioning - Lead solutioning for complex IAM pursuits with UK IAM Solution Architect: scope, approach, commercials, delivery model, risks, and dependencies. Drive fast, outcome led client entry motions (e.g., Entra security & resilience assessment, identity modernisation, governance quick starts etc.). Work with Microsoft where relevant to accelerate co sell and secure sponsorship (without diluting Microsoft first stance). Delivery quality, escalation & governance (shared accountability) - Own IAM delivery quality and programme health: QA gates, architecture assurance, delivery risk management, and escalation resolution (shared with delivery leads). Ensure delivery standards produce repeatable outcomes and strong client confidence (not bespoke reinvention). Embed modern identity security realities into delivery (identity threat, resilience, response readiness) beyond "implementation complete" to expand Microsoft security footprint. Capability, assets & IP - Build reusable assets across assessment/diagnostics, reference architectures and design patterns, migration patterns (hybrid/legacy modernisation), automation (PowerShell, Graph/API patterns), runbooks and onboarding templates. Establish a clear lifecycle across project asset offer service to compound capability and drive recurring revenue. Identity MSS interlock - Define the "handshake" from projects into Identity MSS: what must be true at handover, onboarding artefacts, operational KPIs/reporting, continuous improvement backlog and ownership boundaries. Partner closely with the MSS Lead to ensure Identity MSS is scalable and commercially viable, without blurring accountability. Partner leverage - Build and support the Partner Ecosystem team to manage relevant partner alliances when needed (e.g., migration from non Microsoft IDPs; selective IGA integration etc.) always anchored to a Microsoft first end state. Culture, leadership & people development (mentorship) - Act as a high trust, high autonomy, high standards leader who raises quality, pace, and ambition. Provide mentorship and capability development through Career Advisor responsibilities and informal leadership especially for Solution Architects and emerging IAM talent. Essential Experience Proven track record building and scaling IAM capability in a consulting environment: sell + solution + deliver + industrialise. Deep Microsoft Entra leadership across Entra ID security and configuration, Conditional Access, authentication strength, Identity Protection, Identity governance and lifecycle foundations (JML and provisioning patterns), X to Entra migrations, driving Microsoft first identity journeys. Demonstrated ability to translate emerging Microsoft platform shifts (e.g. Agent365, Copilot, AI enabled security) into credible client narratives, offers, and delivery patterns, with Identity positioned as the primary security control. Strong understanding of workforce IAM and hybrid/legacy identity modernisation (AD and modern identity patterns). Senior stakeholder presence: able to operate credibly with CISOs/CIOs and internally influence sellers and architects. Desirable experience: Security operations awareness: monitoring/logging patterns, identity investigations, and integration with broader security services; Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM)/B2C experience. Non negotiable behaviours: Microsoft first mindset as an exclusive stance; "start up mentality" - hungry, creative, ambitious, pace driven, ownership led; able to form and articulate a clear point of view on how identity, AI agents, and automation change the security model; Builds through others: sets direction, creates clarity, removes blockers, demands quality without creating dependency; Comfortable operating in a high ambition peer group with shared standards and high autonomy. Measures of success Influenced revenue against soft target (pipeline creation and conversion). Win rate and cycle time improvement for IAM pursuits. Delivery health: reduced escalations, stronger QA, predictable outcomes. Reuse rate and adoption of IAM assets/standard approaches. Successful, measurable conversion path from IAM projects into Identity MSS.
