Messy spend management is tricky business. And tedious processes are a lose-lose situation for all involved, not just finance. We build spend solutions that make managing money seamless, empowering, and surprisingly effective for finance teams and employees alike - with a vision to help all businesses 'go beyond'.
With great ambitions driving us forward, we can't say we've got this whole thing figured out. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Authentication and Authorisation team where you'll be responsible for the strategy, delivery and outcomes for the Pleo's product IAM.
Success in this role means defining and executing a sensible migration path between SMB and Enterprise architectures and modernising our current auth capabilities while maintaining high security, compliance, performance and trust.
You'll report to our VP of Engineering and you'll lead, mentor and grow a team of 6- 10 software engineers. You'll work closely with Product, Security, Compliance and Core Platform teams to align priorities and manage dependencies,



and you'll collaborate across the wider Backend & Infrastructure group to keep technical direction and platform standards coherent.
Ultimately, your role is to foster an environment where engineers can do their best work and grow - as individuals and as a team - by setting clear expectations, ensuring our ways of working enable delivery (rather than slowing it down) and holding a high bar for quality.
As an Engineering Manager, you will:
Update legacy auth services, reducing risk and technical debt while maintaining high security, compliance, performance and trust.
Continuously improve how we build software - strengthening operational excellence, quality and ways of working.
Solid experience as an Engineering Manager (or equivalent people‐lead role), with meaningful people leadership impact (including coaching and performance support).
