Senior Software Engineer - Demo Experience

Let’s face it: out-of-pocket expenses suck. And manual expense spreadsheets are old-school.

No one wants to wait until payday to be reimbursed for something they bought for work and finance teams have better things to do than spend hours tapping away on Excel. At Pleo we’re on a mission to change this. We’re here to make spend management surprisingly effective and empowering – for finance teams and employees.

We’re doing away with an outdated business process to end out-of-pocket spending encourage autonomy and give finance teams trust in employees. You'll be selling the SaaS tool (company spending solution) that comes with physical prepaid cards that are then distributed to all employees of the company. But Pleo’s about more than just paying for stuff. You’ll be helping our customers simplify and streamline their invoices reimbursements subscriptions – the lot.

Pleo is looking for someone to join our newly established Demo Experience Team . More on that right below but for the right candidate we are open to applications in India.
