Senior Analytics Engineer

The mission of the Analytical Empowerment Team is to empower every Pleo’er to take data-inspired actions via a robust and scalable analytics infrastructure. It is the responsibility of Analytics Engineers in the team to provide the frameworks, best practices and expert guidance for how the infrastructure can be used.

At Pleo, we see data as the starting point for making decisions and validating hunches. We use data across all parts of the business:  helping our internal teams make better, data-driven decisions; seeing how our users react to newly shipped features; or with our fraud team to make sure that only the money that companies want to spend is actually spent,

We are strong advocates for diversity here. The engineering team at Pleo is made of people coming from different backgrounds. A Nordic-born company with women, men, aliens and shooting stars from Slovenians, South Africans to Danes and Canadians, in the office but also remotely throughout the world. We even sometimes travel together to explore!

Why work here?

Working at Pleo means you're working on something very exciting: the future of work. Through fintech we've seen a way to impact how people work; 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. Based on some pretty amazing Series C-round investment in 2021 we think we're onto something big.

So, in a nutshell, that's Pleo. Today we are a 800+ team, from over 74 nations, sitting in our Copenhagen HQ, London, Stockholm, Berlin, Madrid, Montreal, or Lisbon offices – and quite a few full-time remotes in 35 other countries! Being HQ'd out of Copenhagen means we're inspired by sensible things like a good work-life balance. If you don't work in the office with us we'll help you get up the best remote setup possible, and will fly you in for our amazing team camps ✈️
