Engineering Manager

About Us

At Relevance AI, we're building the home of the AI workforce, a new generation of automation built for real work.

Our mission is simple: empower every team to delegate meaningful work to AI agents that think, act, and collaborate like experts. With Relevance AI, anyone can create and manage intelligent agents that handle workflows, decisions, and cross-team collaboration, all within one unified platform.

Today, our technology powers leading companies including Canva, Databricks, Confluent, Autodesk, Lightspeed, Rakuten, Aveva, Qualified, and Activision Blizzard, helping them scale excellence across operations, marketing, and sales.

We're backed by world-class investors: Bessemer Venture Partners, Insight Partners, Peak XV, and King River Capital, and we raised our Series B in April 2025 to accelerate our mission and push the boundaries of agentic automation.

Headquartered in San Francisco and Sydney, and soon opening our new office in Barcelona, we operate on a hybrid model (three in-office days per week). We're a high-momentum team that thrives on curiosity, collaboration, and execution. We move fast, think big, and win together.

This year, we were proud to be named LinkedIn's #1 Startup in Australia.

If you're excited to define how the world works with AI and want to build the technology powering the next generation of intelligent workforces, join us.
