Remote Fullstack Engineer @ Pleo

About Pleo

At Pleo, we’re on a mission to revolutionise the way businesses manage company spending. No more outdated processes, clunky spreadsheets, or frustrating delays – we believe spend management should be seamless, empowering, and surprisingly effective for finance teams and employees alike. We’re creating tools that promote autonomy, foster trust, and let businesses focus on what truly matters. 

Our culture is built on transparency, collaboration, and a deep commitment to innovation – which is reflected in our spending solution. At Pleo, you’ll join a passionate team shaping the future of work, all while having some fun along the way.

About the role

We’re looking for a Fullstack Engineer to join our Product-Led Acquisition team at Pleo. In this role, you’ll develop and scale new features, and will be part of the team looking after our website as we scale. You’ll be a key player in building the experiences that introduce users to our product and you’ll work in a fast-paced, data-informed environment where you can see the direct impact of your work on our growth.

What you’ll be doing 

As a Fullstack Engineer, you will:

• Build and ship end-to-end user experiences that help new users get started. You’ll work across the full stack, from crafting responsive, accessible UIs in TypeScript and React to implementing the backend APIs that power them.
• Embrace a data-driven, experimental approach. You’ll have the opportunity to instrument your work with analytics, participate in A/B tests, and use feature flags to help us measure impact and learn from user behaviour.
• Contribute to the full lifecycle of features, from planning to release. You’ll work closely with Product, Design, and Marketing to build and iterate on high-impact surfaces like our landing pages, sign-up flows, and onboarding funnels.
• Improve the core of our growth platform. You’ll help enhance the performance, reliability, and SEO/AEO of key pages, integrate with third-party services, and work on reducing friction for new users.
• Uphold and improve our code quality. You will contribute to our shared component library, keep our codebase healthy by writing tests, and participate in thoughtful code reviews to learn from and share knowledge with the team.

What you bring
We’re looking for a collaborative engineer who is passionate about the user experience and is motivated by making a direct impact on business growth.
This role could be a great fit if you bring:

• Professional experience building for the web. You have a few years of experience as a software engineer and are comfortable building, testing, and shipping features for a user-facing product. You can take a well-defined task and see it through to completion with guidance and support from your team.
• A solid front-end foundation. You’re proficient with TypeScript and have hands-on experience with React as a component-based framework. You care about building accessible, performant, and responsive user interfaces.
• Curiosity about the full stack. You have some experience with, or a strong interest in, the backend. You’re comfortable consuming REST or GraphQL APIs and are keen to contribute to the services that support our UIs.
• A product-focused mindset. You’re naturally curious about user behaviour and enjoy working closely with designers and product managers. You’re excited by the idea of using data and experiments to find out what works best for users.
• As a bonus: experience with A/B testing or analytics platforms (e.g. Amplitude), improving Core Web Vitals or on-page SEO, and working in a product-led growth or acquisition team.

Why is this role a good fit for you

This role is for you if you:

• You’re motivated by connecting your code to customer value and business impact.
• You enjoy the fast-paced, iterative cycle of shipping, measuring, and learning.
• You are a collaborative partner who thrives in a cross-functional team alongside product, design, and marketing.
• You take pride in your craft and believe in building high-quality, reliable features for users.
• You are naturally curious and see every task as a chance to learn and grow.
• Work in English with ease (it’s our company language)

This role may not be for you if:

• You want your full-stack role to be more backend-focused than front-end.
• You hope to specialise in payment systems or similar deep-fintech topics.
• Driving massive-scale performance and high-traffic scalability is what you wake up for (we’re more exposed to B2B challenges focused on feature adoption).

Who you’ll be working with and reporting to
You’ll report to our Senior Engineering Manager and work closely with colleagues in our Product-Led Growth department. Our team of 7 is highly collaborative and constituted of Engineers, Designers and a Product Manager but you’ll also have the chance to partner with teams across Engineering, Product and Data to ensure success.

How you’ll develop in this role

In your first few months at Pleo, you will:

• Get familiar with our codebase and tech stack
• Be trusted to own your own features so you can build autonomy 
• Learn about other areas of the business so you understand what purpose our product serves
• Collaborate with the team on architecture and design discussions (everyone’s opinion is listened to, even if they’re new to the team!).

We’re committed to helping you develop your career, whether that means taking on bigger projects, stepping into leadership, or acquiring new skills in software engineering.

The annual salary for this position varies based on your location:

• United Kingdom: £66,895 – £70,975

The Interview Process

The role will go live on Tuesday 30th September 2025 at 17.00 BST and we will accept applications until Tuesday 7th October 2025 17.00 BST.
Please note:

• We will not review any applications until the closing time so we recommend prioritising tailoring your application to make it high-quality instead of rushing to apply!
• Applications need to be submitted on the job post in order to be considered (avoid messaging the manager/recruiter directly).

The interview process will be as follows:

1. Intro call: A 30-minutes chat with our Talent Partner to discuss the role and your background.
2. A coding challenge: a 90-minutes session through a secure coding platform 
3. A system design interview: a 75-minutes live session where you’ll work on a data architecture case alongside our team.
4. Hiring Manager interview: a 60-minute discussion with the hiring manager to dive deeper into your experience and our data vision.
5. A leadership interview: a 45-minutes discussion with a senior leader focusing on behavioural skills and values.

Transparency is important to us so we also wanted to share some insights about what we’re looking for in applications to ensure you can set yourself up for success! 

Last time we hired a Fullstack Engineer, we received a total of 464 applications but only 23 were selected for an intro call. Some of the key reasons why previous candidates didn’t make it past the application screening stage include:

• CV writing and content: it was very clear that many of the CVs we saw were very generic and AI generated. There is no issue with leveraging AI to help with CV writing, there was little indication of what real impact the candidates had in their previous experience. You might have heard of the “Achieved X, as measured by Y, by doing Z” formula (credit Laszlo Bock ~2014), this is a great way to give a clear picture of what you have actually worked on. 
• Application care: every single application we receive is reviewed by a human (yes, hundreds of them) because we believe that candidates’ efforts should be matched by an equal level of human care. This means that we expect a similar level of attention put into your application. Read and answer the application questions carefully, they make a huge difference in our decision-making process.
• Profile to role fit: there was misunderstanding about the type of experience we expect from a Fullstack Engineer and we received many applications from candidates who had never been exposed to a product-led environment, been exclusively focused on backend work (when in reality the role tends to be a bit more frontend focused in this team), or expecting to be working on complex payment / cash management systems. While we’re a fintech company and these are part of what we build, they will not be a focus for this team. We’ve taken great care in writing this role description to reflect the reality of the job as best as possible, please ensure you read it carefully and highlight on your CV the experience relevant to what we are looking for.

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.
