Senior Site Reliability Engineer

We are looking for our next Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our SRE team which is located in a group of teams called, the Developer Platform Group, consisting of Security, Developer Experience, SRE, and Backend Core. You’ll work closely with these teams and cross-team collaboration is encouraged. This gives you a wonderful opportunity to continue to grow in your role and both widen and deepen your skills.

In this role, you will work with our core infrastructure, everything from how our cloud providers (AWS and GCP) are configured through Terraform to how our microservices are deployed to Kubernetes and being monitored. You can see a more detailed list below of the things we work with, we believe that you have worked in some of them and that you’ll quickly learn the rest on the job. Working with all these tools and the wide scope of the team can be daunting, but you will work in a large SRE team where teamwork is highly encouraged.

Working At Pleo

Working at Pleo means that you get to work together with hundreds of people from different backgrounds and geographies. It also means that you will get to work on challenging projects, stemming from the fact that we are a scale-up in the fintech industry and that we want to provide the best possible experience for our customers while they are dealing with their expenses.

Joining our team, you'll find that our projects can be as complex and dynamic as a Kubernetes cluster, but don't worry—every team member is like a pod, uniquely skilled, and perfectly orchestrated. And just like Kubernetes ensures no container goes unmonitored, our team camps make sure no team member goes un-caffeinated! You’ll meet up for a few days in one of our many offices and spend valuable time together as a team working on whatever you think is most important to you and your team!

• Datadog or any other observability stack
• Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Terraform

• Flux / GitOps

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!”
• 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 even better
• Able to raise and describe technical debt faced by your team. And then able to 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.
