Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime to jumpstart your engineering career!

Our junior engineers at Pleo get to work on exciting projects that directly impact the customer and Pleo’s overall company trajectory. No sitting around making tiny one-line of text code changes for endless months here, we empower all our engineers – including our junior engineers – with a sense of ownership and autonomy sought after in a modern tech company.

Did we mention that you’ll learn from some of the best? Pleo is a Fintech unicorn. We didn’t get that way by accident. As a junior engineer, you’ll get to work alongside and be mentored by our talented team of engineers who are experts in high-performing, large-scale, distributed systems.

We’re looking for someone who has done some coding before – an internship or bootcamp, for example – and who is excited to jump in and learn quickly. Pleo operates in a fast-paced, ever changing environment.

While our industry is competitive, we aim to be collaborative within engineering so we can all rise further together. As such, we’re looking for someone who brings a customer focus to what they build and has collaboration skills in how they build it.

We’re up for it, are you?

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.
