Are you looking for a work environment that values trust, proactivity, and autonomy?

Are our Engineering principles aligned with your vision?

Then Pennylane is the right place for you !

We aim to become the most beloved financial Operating System of French SMEs and Accounting Firms (and soon, European ones).

We help entrepreneurs rid themselves of time-consuming tasks related to accounting and finance while providing them with access to key financial information to assist in making the best decisions for their business.

 

About us

Pennylane is one of the fastest growing Fintechs in France (and soon to be in Europe!)

 

In 5 years of existence, we’ve managed to :

💻 Make ourselves known as a groundbreaking accounting and financial software for small businesses and their accountants

💰 Raise a total of €400 millions, including from Sequoia, the famous fund from the Silicon Valley who invested early in companies like Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Stripe, Paypal and much more...

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Grow from 7 cofounders to 1000 happy Pennylaners : we’re now recognized as one of the greatest places to work in France (and also remotely), with a 4.6/5 rating on Glassdoor.

🌍 Build an international environment with more than 25 nationalities, with a strong remote-friendly culture, where 30% of the employees are already working from all parts of Europe

🤝 Earn the trust of thousands of customers and accounting firms and obtain outstanding ratings

🚀 Already more than 900,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and over 6000 accounting firms use Pennylane in France!

WHY this position is of utmost importance to reach our mission

While some companies count on marketing and sales to gain market share, we are a product-led company and we are investing primarily on building an innovative and scalable platform. Tech teams have a crucial role to play to achieve this goal.

 

👪 Team and context

You’ll work within a DevOps team currently composed of 4 engineers, reporting to the Engineering Manager.

 

You’ll collaborate closely with 300+ engineers to define and elevate performance, reliability and observability standards across the organization.

 

You’ll be embedded in multidisciplinary product teams (Frontend & Backend), working closely with another DevOps Engineer and an Application Security Engineer.

 

This is a high-impact role : you’re joining early and will help shape how reliability works at scale.

 

🏠 Offices

The company's HQ are in Paris, but the whole Tech team is remote-first. You are thus free to work from wherever you want in Europe.

 

🎯 Your Missions

 

• Evangelize and simplify SRE practices across our engineering organization (300+ engineers).

• Proactively identify reliability and performance improvement opportunities - not just react to incidents.

• Define and evolve performance, metrics and observability standards (SLIs/SLOs, monitoring frameworks, alerting strategies).

• Scale production resources efficiently while ensuring resilience and cost awareness.

• Design, implement and continuously improve tooling and monitoring systems.

• Contribute to engineering guidelines and best practices around reliability and production excellence.

• Collaborate closely with Product, Backend, Security and Platform stakeholders to embed reliability by design.

 

🥇 You're the right candidate if you have experience :

• Working with cloud environments (we use AWS).

• Building and evolving observability and monitoring systems (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk or similar).

• Scaling production systems and web applications, including asynchronous job systems.

• Operating in high-growth or product-led environments.

• Influencing engineering teams and driving reliability practices at scale.

🎉 You’ll be part of a vibrant social community : we do lots of sports together (Foot, running, climbing...), we love to hang out and have a drink together (thursday afterwork drinks on our rooftop is a usual thing.

And.. If you're based in France :

 

🏢 You’ll be able to work fully from your home or any co-working space in France, or from our wonderful office in the center of Paris

🍜 You’ll have lunch credits (Swile card) to buy your favorite food every day
