Our mission

Our mission

Every year, companies waste over $1 trillion as developers spend up to 40% of their time on mundane, non-code-producing tasks.

🚀 At Rely.io, we’re here to change that. Our mission is to empower organizations by fostering a culture of service ownership and engineering excellence.

We believe in a future where the best software companies can focus on what truly matters — building great products that have a real impact in the world — without getting slowed down by complex tools, processes, and repetitive tasks. Our vision is simple: help engineers build software faster and better, so they can drive innovation and create a better future.

To bring this vision to life, we’re building the next generation of intelligent tools and automation that supercharge developer productivity and eliminate unnecessary toil.

Our journey starts with the most important product of the software ecosystem: an end to end Internal Developer Portal (IDP) that takes the complexity out of building, scaling, and operating software by embedding all the important developer flows in one pane of glass and providing golden paths with embedded best practices and templates.

Our mission

Who we are

Our team is a group of world class engineers who share a common goal: to build a product that engineers love. We're committed to creating a workplace culture that's diverse, inclusive, and fosters collaboration and innovation.

We have raised $3.5M+ from top-tier firms like J12 Ventures, Shilling Capital Partners, TechstarsNYC, and TheVentureCity, as well as from notable angels.  We're dedicated to using their support to drive our mission forward and make a meaningful impact in the world of engineering.

We're driven by our vision to lead the industry with platform engineering best practices.

📍 Location

We’re remote-first and welcome candidates from anywhere in Europe! We have yearly off-sites where we fly the whole team out to a new location so we can meet in person, get to know each other better, kick off important projects, and have fun!
