Job Description:

You’ll join the Data team to drive innovation and deliver impactful solutions that power our business. We are looking for a Data Engineering Manager to lead our Data Platform team. In this role, you will pick up the torch from our previous manager, moving the focus towards execution, people leadership, and scalability. You will manage a talented team of 5 Data Platform Engineers responsible for the core foundations of Pleo’s data stack (BigQuery, Airflow, Kafka, Terraform). While embedded in the Data Platform Hub, you'll work directly with the Director of Data to ensure our infrastructure enables the "Self-Service" vision, enabling Data Products and allowing analysts and engineers to move fast with confidence.

Job Responsibility:

Empower the Team (People First): Manage, mentor, and grow your team. You will foster a culture of psychological safety, handle performance reviews, and ensure your engineers have clear growth paths.
Deliver the Platform Roadmap: You will lead the delivery of critical infrastructure projects. This isn't just about maintenance
it's about executing our 2026 strategy, scaling the data platform infrastructure and removing tech debt.
Operational Excellence: You will ensure our platform is stable, secure, and cost-efficient. You'll drive best practices in DataOps, CI/CD, and observability to keep our data pipelines robust.
Enable "Self-Service": You will continue to support the team's focus from "servicing tickets" to building tools that empower the rest of the company (e.g., focus especially on automation).

Requirements:

Engineering Management Experience: You have a proven track record of managing data engineers, handling hiring, and driving team performance.
Platform Expertise: You have a strong technical background in Data platforms and understand how to architect for scale. You can speak the language of your team.
Governance & Security Mindset: You have experience implementing data governance tools (Catalogs, PII masking) and understand the importance of security in a Fintech environment.
Stakeholder Empathy: You are skilled at bridging the gap between technical complexity and business needs, ensuring our Product and Analytics teams feel supported.

What we offer:

Your own Pleo card (no more out-of-pocket spending!)
Lunch is on us for your work days - enjoy catered meals or receive a lunch allowance based on your local office
Comprehensive private healthcare - depending on your location, coverage options include Vitality, Alan or Médis
