Senior JavaScript Engineer

On Site Full TimeRemote Full TimeCopenhagen, DenmarkPleo

Cash is old school. Out-of-pocket expenses suck. Workplaces need to be more trusting, progressive, and – we’re gonna say it – fun 👏

And that’s what we’re here to do. But we need your help!

Pleo is looking for a person to join our newly established Business Architecture & Technology Team. More on that right below, but for the right candidate, we are open to applications in Copenhagen, London, Stockholm, Lisbon, Madrid, or remote 👌

About The Role 📌

As part of our growing Revenue Operations department, we have established a team called Business Architecture & Technology. This team will focus on optimizing processes, data, and tools for our commercial part of the business (Marketing, Sales, Partnerships & Customer Experience)

Your role in this will be to help us design and implement new tools to support this. Think of it as this – we need to make sure the commercial aspect of Pleo is happening as smoothly and efficiently as possible. We achieve this through designing and maintaining the tech stack, extensions thereof, and related processes. We are a leading design customer of many of our vendors and always aim to push our tools above and beyond.

In Pleo, Revenue Operations is a cross-functional discipline that goes across many areas, such as the demand and opportunity management process, sales planning and forecasting, as well as monitoring business performance. Hence this is a unique opportunity to learn more about the many different aspects of running a business, the decision processes and prioritisation needed to execute strategic projects, and insights into where the company is going – almost like a front-row seat!

More About Our Team 🙏

So if you are excited about inter-department collaborations, being part of diverse teams, scaling a company 10x while also having fun in random slack channels, getting creative and running all kinds of experiments while also staying up-to-date on the latest trends in tech, new frameworks and practices, if you like engaging in social activities from Pleo dinners to teaching non-tech people how to code, keep reading. But also remember, while bringing your perspective and diversity, you must also leave your ego by the door.

We believe in autonomy, trust, and support, shaping our teams with a remote-first mindset and being able to work efficiently through CEST and EST time zones. From virtual coffees, to remote-friendly meeting setups, and thorough documentation, you can feel the beat and energy that flows in our offices.

You will be contributing to setting the strategic direction with data-driven decision-making, working with the latest (and greatest!) tools and tech, and improving yourself and others through a dynamic and passionate team working environment.

What We Do 🧐

What we try to do is change the workspaces of tomorrow (you know, the space where people spend most of their time!). We think the way that most of us still work today is outdated; we think that it can be better. Here at Pleo we work on painful problems that we see today and try to solve them with a touch of magic.

Our angle to do this is through company spending; we’ve built a product that gives trust and autonomy to all employees: everyone gets a company card and spends company money responsibly. No expense reports. No time wasted. Decentralization of decision-making. Delegation through ownership. That’s our focus.

We can’t be hypocrites with a product doing one thing and then internally doing another: so the future workplace permeates through the way we work. We certainly aren’t perfect, and we’re not striving for perfection. Instead, we’re striving to be pioneers: we want our product to change workspaces, and so our own workspace is a place of constant change.

And here are some other nice gestures that we do 🙌

  • Catered lunch if you work from one of our offices, or ‘Pleo it’ daily if you work remotely
  • Loads of weird and wonderful niche communities to join in the company (we’re talking guerrilla gardening, liquids tasting, the Pleo band, learning to code initiatives, beer brewing, skiing, Pleo dinners, that type of thing)
  • Wild enthusiasm and encouragement from us if you want to host MeetUps, events, etc. – we’ll help (venue, food etc.]

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.
