Backend Engineer - Payments

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)
• Test 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/ways of working
• Are experienced in solving complex technical challenges, both small and 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
• Are someone they like having a coffee with (virtual or not)
