Who we are:
For over 25 years, Global Relay has set the standard in enterprise information archiving with industry-leading cloud archiving, surveillance, eDiscovery, and analytics solutions. We securely capture and preserve the communications data of the world’s most highly regulated firms, giving them greater visibility and control over their information and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations.
Though we offer competitive compensation and benefits and all the other perks one would expect from an established company, we are not your typical technology company. Global Relay is a career-building company. A place for big ideas. New challenges. Groundbreaking innovation. It’s a place where you can genuinely make an impact – and be recognized for it.
We believe great businesses thrive on diversity, inclusion, and the contributions of all employees. To that end, we recruit candidates from different backgrounds and foster a work environment that encourages employees to collaborate and learn from each other, completely free of barriers.

Global Relay delivers enterprise services to 23,000 customers in 90 countries, including 22 of the top 25 global banks.

We are looking for someone who is motivated to automate 'on-prem' only solutions including Linux based OS Updates, configuration management and custom based implementations created by our talented developers.
We are looking for someone who is willing to grow in the role and extend their skill set as our Information Archive solution continues to evolve to meet our future architectural goals to exceed customer expectations
