Pleo is hiring a
Backend Engineer

Summary

Join us at Pleo, where engineers are the backbone of our company. We're looking for talented engineering talent to support and lead our product in exciting directions. This means finding people who know server-side languages, cloud environments, DevOps, relational databases, and shell scripting. It's not just about being a master of your craft, but also about ownership, taking the lead on large projects, and navigating ambiguity.

Requirements

• Work in English with ease
• 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!
• Don't just write code, you help to design the overall solution

Responsibilities

• Know server-side languages like Kotlin and TypeScript
• Work in 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)

Benefits

• Your own Pleo card (no more out-of-pocket spending!)
• Flexible working remote options
• Lunch catered in our London, Copenhagen and Lisbon offices
• 25 days of holiday per year + your local public holidays
• Paid parental leave - we want to make sure that we're supportive of families and help you feel that you don't have to compromise your family due to work
