Engineering at Raylo
Complex problems, full ownership, fast delivery. Credit decisioning, insurance, billing systems, device lifecycle management. We build and run all of it ourselves: our entire proprietary logistics and financial infrastructure. Real complexity, at real scale, with no shortcuts.
Ideas you discuss on Monday can be live by Friday. You own your features end to end, from shaping the problem with product and design to shipping it and seeing the impact. Our Engineering Managers are hands-on and deeply technical. No layers of bureaucracy, no waiting for someone three levels up to make a call. Just a lean team that trusts you to do great work.
We've grown nearly 4x in three years, deliberately. With Series B closed and US expansion ahead, there's more to build and more impact to be had.
How we work
We build with AI, not around it
We're not exploring AI. We build with it every day, in our tooling and in the product. Come ready to use it, and expect to push it further than you have before.
We trust you to own it
You'll always know why you're building something, not just what. Enough structure to give you direction, enough trust to make decisions without three sign-offs. Processes exist to serve the work, not slow it down.
We work as one team
Your team owns its roadmap, but you won't work in isolation. We pair on problems, share approaches and work across teams. We're in the London office together every Thursday: the day we collaborate and get face to face.
We keep the process light
We blend Kanban with lightweight agile. We take what works and ditch what doesn't. Standups, retros and planning serve the team, not the other way around.

What you get
You'll work on real complexity
You'll make meaningful calls on architecture, tooling and trade-offs, not just execute what's been decided above you.
You'll be heard, and you'll lead
You won't fight to be heard. We encourage people to speak up, and as you grow you'll get real opportunities to mentor, lead and raise the bar.
You'll own your work
From day one, you'll be trusted with real work, real ownership, real decisions.
Built for you if...
You want to shape what gets built, not just close tickets. You're self-driven, comfortable with ambiguity, and you'd rather ship on Friday than perfect it for a month.

Sam
Senior Engineer
AI touches everything we do at Raylo. It speeds up processes, unlocks new abilities, and frees us to focus on the work that matters.

Engineer, AI team
The Mission
The circularity mission appealed to me, and I liked everyone I met during the interview process. The team make this a great place to work.
Terri
Advanced Senior Engineer
Pace & Ownership
I implemented performance optimisations for the fulfilment domain and product queries, enabling the system to support three times as many customers and devices.
Cyrux
Advanced Senior Engineer
Collaboration & Ownership
I've enjoyed leading the development on the mobile app and working cross functionally to achieve our goals as a team.
Josh
Senior Engineer
Ownership
Within my first few months I worked on the colour swap feature. Being given that level of ownership and trust so early showed me I could have real impact at the company.
Yuna
Frontend Engineer
Ownership
Early on, I was given the autonomy to experiment with building AI tooling into our development workflow to help us capture conventions, and flag potential breaking issues sooner.

Frontend Engineer
How you'll progress
Your progression here won't be left to chance. From Mid through to Senior, Staff, and Principal - there's a clear path ahead of you, and the people around you are invested in helping you move along it.
We check in properly and regularly, not just on what you've shipped, but where you're headed. Your manager cares about your growth, not just your output.
The biggest accelerator won't be the bi-annual reviews, it'll be the work itself. Owning features end to end, making real decisions, working directly with product and stakeholders. That kind of experience compounds fast.
