Senior Engineer - Developer Experience Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen HQ, Lisbon, London

Engineers are the backbone of all we do at Pleo. Without these wildly brilliant people, we don’t have a thing. To make them happy and productive is the goal of the Developer Experience team.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Software Engineer to join that very Developer Experience team at Pleo. This role is perfect for an engineer, who is interested in supporting other engineers and learning about their most important pain-points by working closely with them.

What will you do? In this role, you will be a force multiplier, enabling other engineers to do even better. You will not only work within a team but also look across Pleo to identify, build, and deliver systemic improvements to help everyone be better and move towards their vision.

Developer Experience is a pretty senior team which allows for good learning opportunities, but also a very open team where your thoughts and ideas are highly valued. As one team, you’ll provide frameworks, libraries, developer tools and guides to make the life of an engineer as enjoyable as possible. You’ll be building features incrementally, prioritizing early feedback and iterative development.

You know your way around:

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

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 within your team
• Coach others 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!”
• Are regularly giving and receiving feedback – both positive and constructive
• You don’t just write code; you help to design the overall solution
• Are sought after within your team for help in solving challenging problems
• You’re a force multiplier within your team – your work enables other engineers to do be even better
• Are able to describe technical debt faced by your team and propose a solution or path forward

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.
