This vacancy is provided by Copenhagen Capacity.
Pleo is one of the hottest and most anticipated European fintech start-ups. We are on a mission to make business spending smooth and joyful by offering smart payment cards for employees.
Pleo is for agile and dynamic organisations, encouraging employees to focus on their professional qualities. Meanwhile, Pleo works in the background to make purchases and financial processes smooth and joyful.
Before we can tell you about the specifics of the job it's important that you understand how we define Engineering Productivity. For that, we're going to look at the Roman Empire.
Have you ever really considered the size of the Roman Empire? It stretched from northern Africa to northern England. That's close to 5000 km from end to end. All held together with military might. But armies are expensive, so how do you keep the smallest possible army?
Roads. You make it so that your armies can be where they need to be as fast as possible.
The Roman road builders didn't dictate the movements of the armies, but they made it easy for the armies to go where they needed to go. That's what we do in Engineering Productivity. We leave the other teams with autonomy and end-to-end responsibility, but try to make that as easy as possible.
Like everyone else in Pleo we strive to be customer-centric. What makes us different is that our customers are the other Engineers. We listen to them and build what most of them will need, what will create the most value.
Pleo is scaling. Fast. Which means more engineers, which means an even greater need for us in Engineering Productivity.
This is where you come in.
Currently, we have 4 teams, very soon 5, and it will only grow from there. Each team will have a Lead, but we need someone to bring the teams together and lead them. You will have 2-3 teams, to begin with, the others will be managed by our current Engineering Manager who also runs Engineering Productivity.
As you can imagine there are many different aspects to Engineering Productivity in Pleo, but the one we want you to focus most on is the concept of DevOps. You're the right person if you're keen on questions like "what will we need to build to make it easier for the other teams to manage their software end-to-end?".
So besides the knowledge of DevOps, who are we looking for? We’re looking for someone who is delighted to see great software shipped, and is a motivating force rallying behind the people who ship it. If this is you, you love people, and you’re an engineer: you know that things like inefficient processes can be a major demotivating factor to people. You come in with designs to make things work better. You’re at ease stepping into a technical discussion or taking an important stakeholder meeting with a goal to remove roadblocks to help the team to move forward.
In short, we're looking for a leader, but what makes a great leader at Pleo? Unlike most job specs, it’s important for us to explain who we are through the leadership style that we represent - and are looking for - in our engineering manager. Our type of leaders:
Responsibilities
Your leadership style:
You will thrive in this role if you:
Your colleagues say about you:
Your mom says that you:
Show me the benefits!
And here are some other nice gestures that we make:
Working at Pleo means you're working on something very exciting: the future of work. Through fintech we've seen a way to impact how people work; 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. Based on some pretty amazing Series C-round investment in 2021 we think we're onto something big.
So, in a nutshell, that's Pleo. Today we are a 340+ team, from over 48 nations, sitting in our Copenhagen HQ, London, Stockholm, Berlin, Madrid, or Montreal offices – and quite a few full-time remotes in 16 other countries! Being HQ'd out of Copenhagen means we're inspired by sensible things like a good work-life balance. If you don't work in the office with us we'll help you get up the best remote setup possible, and will fly you in once a quarter for team camps.
Communication and all issues related to the position are curated by Copenhagen Capacity.
