Engineering Manager, GenAI Platform

ABOUT PLEO Messy spend management is tricky business. And tedious processes are a lose-lose situation for all involved, not just finance. At Pleo, we're changing that. 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’. The word ‘Pleo’ actually means ‘more than you’d expect’, and living by that mantra has been the secret to our success over the last 10 years. Now, we’re at a pivotal moment in our journey; every move we make has a direct impact on our 40,000+ customers, our business, and our collective success. We need people who take pride in uncovering customer needs, who turn complex problems into simple solutions, challenge the way things are done (respectfully), and always aim high. With great ambitions driving us forward, we can’t say we’ve got this whole thing figured out. And frankly, that’s half the fun! What we can say is that we’re a driven, progressive, and, importantly, a kind bunch of 850+ people from over 100 nationalities, all committed to delivering the future of business spending, together. ABOUT THE ROLE The GenAI Platform is Pleo's internal AI infrastructure team, the platform every customer-facing AI feature is built on. The team owns LLM serving (LiteLLM), the MCP gateway and tool registry, agentic runtime, evaluation tooling, and the observability layer that makes AI outputs trustworthy at scale. This is a technical engineering management role for a builder-leader. You will lead a team of strong staff and senior engineers through a critical transition: evolving from a Kotlin-first SDK to a hybrid architecture that makes Python a first-class citizen for agentic development. You will own delivery of the platform roadmap, contribute to key technical decisions, and stay close enough to the work to shape architecture, unblock delivery, and set a high technical bar. This is a role for someone who can actively build
