Site Reliability Engineer

We are looking for our next 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 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!

Skills and experience we are looking for:

• Grafana
• Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Terraform
• Kubernetes
• Flux / GitOps
• Most major AWS services
• Istio
• GitHub Actions
• Go

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.

Show me the benefits:

• Your own Pleo card (no more out-of-pocket spending!)
• Lunch is on us - with catering in our Lisbon, Copenhagen, and London offices or a monthly lunch allowance paid directly together with your salary in other markets
• Private health insurance to ensure you’re fit in body and mind to do your best work
• We offer 25 days of holiday + your public holidays
• Flexibility/remote working options
• Option to purchase 5 additional days of holiday through a salary sacrifice
• We’re trialling MyndUp to give our employees access to free mental health and wellbeing support with great success so far
• Access to LinkedIn Learning - acquire new skills, stay abreast of industry trends and fuel your personal and professional development continuously
• 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
• All of us have a stake in Pleo’s success - ask us about our equity grant scheme
