ABOUT US
Pliant is a modular B2B payments platform that combines commercial card issuing, payment accounts, FX, and spend management in one system — adapting to existing setups rather than requiring customers to replace them.
Businesses across industries such as travel, e-commerce, and insurance use Pliant to manage complex payment workflows with cards, backed by credit lines Pliant underwrites itself.
Fintechs and software platforms embed Pliant's payment infrastructure into their own products, from API-based Cards-as-a-Service to fully white-label solutions. Banks use Pliant's Card & Spend OS, the customer-facing interface, on their own infrastructure to run card programs
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Berlin, Pliant serves 5,000+ businesses and 40+ partners across Europe and the United States. A principal member of Visa and Mastercard, Pliant issues commercial cards in 13 currencies across 32 countries — under its own European e-money license and with licensed partners in the UK and US.

ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for a Platform Infrastructure Engineer (m/f/d) to join our small platform team with a wide remit: owning the AWS infrastructure across multiple account types, the CI/CD pipelines for 20+ microservices, and the Lambda and ECS runtime that product teams deploy on. Every engineer at Pliant depends on what this team maintains.
You'll own one or more infra domains end to end: design, build, operate, on call. That covers Terraform modules, GitHub Actions pipelines, AWS account architecture, Lambda functions in Go and Python, and an active ECS to Kubernetes migration. You'll work directly with product engineers, understand where the friction is, and fix it. You'll report to the Head of Platform Infrastructure.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
-
Own infra domains end to end: Take one or more domains from design through build, operations, and on call. You make the call, review the PRs, and answer the page.
-
Run Infrastructure as Code: Write and maintain Terraform modules for AWS resources across dev, staging, production, and PCI scoped accounts, orchestrated through Spacelift.
-
Maintain CI/CD at scale: Own GitHub Actions pipelines for a fleet of Java and Kotlin microservices, including reusable workflows, matrix strategies, and cache behavior.
