Engineers are the backbone of all we do at Pleo. Without these wildly brilliant people, we don’t have a thing. And with all this growth we are looking for some wicked talented engineering talent to support and lead our product in some pretty exciting (and experimental!) directions.

This means finding people who know server-side languages like the back of their hand. People who devour cloud environments for breakfast, have dipped a toe (even jumped right in) to DevOps, and who delve into relational databases and shell scripting like it aint no thang.

But it’s not just about being a master of your craft, it’s about ownership, and taking the lead on large projects such as product launches, managing migrations, and building core components used across the company. Sometimes it gets a bit crazy over here, so you might need to whip that compass out to navigate ambiguity and manage scope - the team will look to you to create a clear path forward.

We also believe that you care deeply about your customers, no matter if that is people using Pleo to do their expenses, to administrate employees within the Pleo platform, or if you are providing an API to an internal team. We so strongly believe in this that this is one of our core values at Pleo.

Mostly, we’re looking for people others can look up to and learn from - you’ll set the standard for the team, not just in code but in culture too. At Pleo our culture is pretty special to us, and we value trust and transparency like you wouldn’t believe. Plus, you know, we want to enjoy what we do and who we are working with because duh.

We’re up for it, are you?

You know your way around

  • Server-side languages (we mostly use Kotlin and TypeScript but we know you can learn new languages)
  • Cloud environments/ distributed systems/ microservices (AWS, Google Cloud, Kubernetes)
  • Relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL)
  • Testing frameworks (Cypress, JUnit, Testcontainers)
  • Observability and monitoring (Datadog)
  • DevOps culture and tools (GitHub Actions, Gradle, Terraform)

Your colleagues would say you

  • Work in English with ease (it's our company language)
  • Never stop being curious and love learning about new languages/ frameworks/ working styles
  • Have experience solving complex technical challenges at scale
  • Ensure a high bar for quality and reliability on your team
  • Coach others on your team to help them develop as engineers
  • Advocate for a more thorough code review process than a quick scroll to the bottom of the page and a “LGTM!”
  • You don’t just write code, you help to design the overall solution
  • Would be a person that they would actually like to have a coffee with (virtual or not)

Show me the benefits

  • Your own Pleo card (no more out-of-pocket spending)
  • 2500 EUR yearly in FlexBenefits, we believe that you know what benefits make the biggest impact for you.
  • Ability to work remotely or onsite if you want to
  • Yearly trips to somewhere for team camps
  • Investment in learning developing

And here are some other nice gestures that we do

  • Sponsored lunch
  • 25 days holidays (annual)
  • Loads of weird and wonderful niche communities to join in the company (we’re talking guerrilla gardening, liquids tasting, the Pleo band, learning to code initiatives, beer brewing, skiing, that type of thing)
  • Wild enthusiasm and encouragement from us if you want to host MeetUps, events, etc - we’ll help (venue, food, etc.)

Why join us?

Working at Pleo means you're working on something very exciting: the future of work. Our mission is to help every company go beyond the books. Pleo itself means ‘more than you’d expect’, and it’s been the secret to our success over the last 8 years. So it’s only fitting that we’d pass this philosophy onto our customers to help them make the most of their finances.

We think company spending should be delegated to all employees and teams, that it should be as automated as possible, and that it should drive a culture of responsible spending. Finance teams shouldn’t be siloed from the rest of the organisation – they should work in unity with marketing, sales, IT and everyone else.

Speaking of working in unity, our values tell the story of how we work at Pleo. We have four core values, the first of which is ‘champion the customer’, which means we address real pain points that businesses face. Next up is ‘succeed as a team’, which highlights how our strength lies in our diversity and trust in each other. We also ‘make it happen’ by taking bold decisions and following through to deliver results. Last but not least, we ‘build to scale’, creating lasting solutions that address today’s challenges and anticipate tomorrow’s needs.

So, in a nutshell, that's Pleo. Today we are a 850+ team, from over 100 nations, sitting in our Copenhagen HQ, London, Stockholm, Berlin, Madrid, Montreal and Lisbon offices —and quite a few full-time remotes in 35 other countries! Being HQ'd out of Copenhagen means we're inspired by things like a good work-life balance. If you don't work in the office with us, we'll help you set up the best remote setup possible and make sure you still have time to connect with your team.

  • Good people: We love what we do and we love doing it together. We are inspired by being a mixed bunch of people from all over the world.
