Senior Engineer | Developer Experience

Job description
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 then able to propose a solution or path forward
