About 1st Avenue Power: At 1st Avenue Power, we are on a mission to deliver simple, fast-to-deploy, customer-centric and intelligent power systems leveraging the abundance of solar to provide inexpensive and reliable clean energy to global customers from data centers to energy starved communities around the world. We envision a future where every community, business, and nation thrives on the limitless potential of clean energy, united in a shared commitment to a sustainable and equitable world. You will be working with Dr. Tom Buttgenbach, one of the most successful clean energy technology innovators and entrepreneur who has been a driving force in making solar-based energy solutions the cheapest and most reliable energy option. Tom founded and led Avantus (formerly known as “8minute Solar Energy“), to become one of the largest and most profitable solar and energy storage companies in the United States and the largest in California, including delivering over 17% of Los Angeles’ power. When Tom sold his interest in Avantus’ development business to KKR in mid-2024, it had delivered over $1 billion in profit and secured over $10 Billion in power purchase agreements and project financings with a pipeline of over 30 GW of solar and 90 GWh of energy storage, capable of powering the homes of more than 20 million Americans day and night. Tom’s family office investment firm, 1st Avenue Capital, is building teams for the next generation of advanced solar power system architecture and AI to aggressively drive down the cost of and equitable access to clean and reliable energy.[1] 1st Avenue’s advanced large scale power systems are addressing the increasing inadequacy of the grid to meet the massively growing power demands of the digital economy, while its intelligent distributed solar utilities are leapfrogging the grid to provide equitable access to inexpensive, clean and reliable power to underserved communities around the world. The Impact You’ll Make: We are building the future of energy management. Our team is developing a next-generation software platform to operationalize power plants, bridging the critical gap between complex power electronics on the ground and advanced analytics in the cloud. We don't just visualize data; we provide the telemetry and control systems that keep the lights on. About the Role We are looking for an experienced Lead System Architect to define and own the end-to-end technical architecture of our platform. This is a unique role that sits at the convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT). You will not just be designing cloud microservices; you will be designing a distributed system that spans from a constrained edge compute device located inside a power cabinet to a serverless infrastructure on AWS. You will serve as the technical captain, aligning the efforts of our Embedded/OT engineers, Edge Computing specialists, and Cloud/Data engineers. You must be comfortable making high-stakes trade-off decisions concerning latency, reliability, security, and cost in a mission-critical industrial environment. Key Responsibilities - End-to-End Architectural Strategy - Define and own the overall system architecture blueprint, from physical device connectivity (Layer 1) to user interface dashboards (Layer 7). - Make critical architectural trade-off decisions, particularly regarding what processing happens at the "Edge" (on-premise) versus the "Cloud" to ensure low-latency control loops and bandwidth efficiency. - Define data models and communication standards between disparate systems (e.g., defining the JSON schema that translates a Modbus register into an AWS IoT Shadow state). - Technical Leadership & OT/IT Convergence - Act as the technical bridge between hardware-focused embedded teams and software-focused cloud teams, translating industrial constraints into software requirements. - Mentor senior engineers across the stack, ensuring consistency in design patterns and code quality. - Evaluated and select key technologies, frameworks, and third-party vendors for both edge runtimes and cloud services. - Reliability, Resiliency, and Safety Considerations - Architect the system for high availability and disaster recovery. The architecture must account for unreliable network conditions, ensuring local safety capabilities remain functional even when severed from the cloud. - Design robust buffering, store-and-forward mechanisms, and state reconciliation strategies to ensure zero data loss during outages. - Industrial Security Leadership - Define the security posture for the entire stack based on a Zero Trust model. - Oversee the implementation of device identity management (X.509 certificates), mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication, and secure over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms for edge infrastructure. Skills you bring: - 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 5+ years in a dedicated System Architect or Principal Engineer role managing complex, distributed systems. - Deep AWS Expertise: Demonstrable experience designing hyperscale solutions using the AWS serverless stack (Lambda, DynamoDB, Kinesis, API Gateway). - IIoT/Edge Experience: Strong understanding of the unique constraints of industrial environments. You understand that network connectivity is not guaranteed and latency matters. - Experience with AWS IoT Core and related services (Greengrass, Device Shadows, IoT Rules Engine). - Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, MQTT, WebSockets, firewalls, cellular connectivity). - Experience designing data pipelines for both "hot" (real-time telemetry) and "cold" (historical data lake) paths. Preferred Qualifications (The "Wow" Factor) - Experience directly working in Energy, Utilities, Manufacturing, or Automotive sectors. - Familiarity with industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC UA, CANbus, DNP3) — you don't need to code drivers, but you need to understand how they work and their limitations. - Experience with "Digital Twin" concepts and modeling physical assets in software. - Advanced knowledge of cybersecurity standards for industrial control systems (e.g., IEC 62443). Attributes for success - Pragmatic over Dogmatic: You know when to use the latest cutting-edge technology and when to use boring, proven solutions because reliability is paramount. - System Thinker: You see the whole board. You understand how a change in the embedded C++ code affects the AWS Kinesis shard throughput cost. - Strong Communicator: You can explain complex cloud concepts to electrical engineers, and complex hardware limitations to frontend React developers. Benefits and Perks: - Competitive Compensation Package - Remote Flexibility with 5-15% travel to sites as needed - Health Insurance: We offer 100% coverage of employee premiums under a Gold-level PPO plan. Dental & Vision Insurance: 50% of employee premiums are covered. - Retirement Plan: A 401(k) plan with a 6% employer match. Additional Information: Minimum salary of $200,000 to maximum salary of $260,000 + equity + benefits. The range provided is 1AP’s reasonable estimate of the base compensation for this role. The actual amount will be based on job-related and non-discriminatory factors such as location, experience, training, skills, and abilities.

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 You will be part of the technical and strategic backbone of our People Technology landscape, helping ensure our systems are aligned, scalable, and genuinely enable how Pleo operates and grows. You’ll translate business needs into thoughtful technical solutions, while continuously improving how our People systems work together across the ecosystem. This is a hands-on technical Senior Individual contributor role. You’ll spend a significant portion of your time designing and building integrations, automations, and services yourself, working directly in our stack (HiBob, Ashby, and supporting platforms) and stakeholders. Much of this work involves connecting systems through APIs, webhooks, and event-driven patterns. Alongside this, you’ll bring structure and direction: shaping architecture, guiding technical decisions, driving change management, and helping prioritise what we build and why. You’ll work as a close partner to our existing Staff People Tech Engineer, pairing on complex problems, sharing context, and raising the overall bar of the team, leading through collaboration, contribution, context, and technical judgment. A key part of the role is operating across stakeholders: aligning People Operations, Talent Acquisition, Payroll, Reward, and L&D, bringing clarity to competing needs, and ensuring we prioritise and communicate effectively as we grow. If you’re excited by owning a domain end-to-end, setting direction while staying hands-on, scaling impact, this team and role is for you. Who you'll be working with and reporting to You'll join the People Tech team, part of Pleo's Internal Technology group (People Tech, Tech Ops, and Finance Systems) and you will report to the Director of Internal Technology while working closely with People Operations and stakeholders across the People area. We're a collaborative, forward-thinking team focused on security, scalability, and crafting an exceptional internal experience for every Pleoer. What you'll be doing As a Staff People Systems Engineering you will: - Spend a significant share of your time hands-on: building integrations, automations, and services across our People Tech stack (HiBob, Ashby, Contractbook and supporting platforms) using APIs, Webhooks, TypeScript in an event-driven architecture. - Bring an AI-native mindset: we've already shipped Harriet and we're looking for someone who actively builds with AI tooling to unlock new capabilities - Co-own and evolve the People Tech roadmap, prioritise competing requests, make deliberate build-vs-buy tradeoffs, and clearly communicate what we're doing, what we're not, and why - Partner with People Operations, Talent Acquisition, Payroll, Reward, and L&D: gather requirements, translate business needs into well-scoped technical work, and drive alignment on priorities. Of course, you will also be very good friends with Engineering and Data functions. - Automate and improve core employee lifecycle processes including onboarding, offboarding, org changes, promotions, compensation updates,contract generation etc. - Strengthen data quality across People systems: ensure clean flows between HiBob (our source of truth) and downstream consumers, maintain schema-first standards, and support accurate reporting inputs - Own incident response and complex troubleshooting across People systems and integrations, with clear communication and follow-through on root causes - Establish pragmatic engineering standards: documentation, integration patterns, playbooks, test coverage, and change management processes - Drive security-first and GDPR-compliant approaches to People data, including working with Okta for identity/access and GCP for infrastructure For context, our current People systems stack includes Hibob, Ashby, Zinc, Peakon, Abacum, Papaya, Remote.com, Docusign, Contractbook and Sana. Our team is also equipped to work with Claude and have Github access to host their services. What you bring - Many years of experience in People Tech / HRIS engineering, internal tools, solutions engineering, or technical systems roles in a People/HR context. - Strong hands-on ability to build reliable integrations and automations between business applications by leveraging APIs, webhooks, scripting, and lightweight custom services. - Experience with HRIS platforms (ideally HiBob or similar) and comfort operating across a SaaS ecosystem using cloud platforms (G’Suite, GCP etc) - Working knowledge of integrating identity/access tooling (e.g. Okta groups and permissions) into business applications. - Proven ability to go from ambiguous stakeholder need to scoped solution to shipped result, end-to-end - Strong system thinking: you can reason about processes at a high level and dive into the technical details - Confidence operating autonomously in ambiguous environments with a bias toward action - Excellent communication: you explain complex technical decisions clearly, write useful documentation, and keep stakeholders aligned - Stakeholder management skills: you build trust, set expectations, and can say "not now" with clarity when tradeoffs demand it - A collaborative, team-first approach. You're joining a small team and need to be comfortable pairing on problems and building trust quickly Why is this role a good fit for you This role is a good fit for you if: - You find it easy to translate technical concepts into language that non-technical stakeholders (from junior to Executive level) can understand. A key part of this role is about explaining systems capabilities, limitations and requirements to scope and implement working solutions for People colleagues. - You enjoy communicating and collaborating with business stakeholders as much as you enjoy spending time writing scripts, code or configuring systems integrations. - You are very organised and can plan, manage, coordinate yours and your team’s workload. You can autonomously divide and assign tasks, and you excel at documenting. In other words, you can act as a Project Manager for your team. - You’re always nerding out about technology and constantly thinking about how you can automate tasks. In other words, writing scripts, building agents or custom services (with the help of Claude!) are things you’ve had previous experience doing. This role is not a good fit for you if: - Your experience has been focused a lot more on People Operations than technical configuration. You will be expected to read technical documentation to understand and assess API capabilities while also configuring webhooks feeds. - Most of your experience has been with legacy HR systems in very big corporate settings. We’re working with a modern People tech stack. This is not a role for an SAP/Workday specialist. - You require very specific and structured instructions to organise your workload. You will have a lot of autonomy in this role and will be expected to plan work for rather big workstreams, balancing day-to-day operations with project work. - You aren’t able to juggle “getting things done” with “designing for scale”. This role requires you to find the right balance between ensuring delivery and configuring/documenting for long-term efficiency. The location Please note: We can hire on a remote, hybrid or in-person set-up in any of the locations listed on the job advert but you will need to be physically based in the country of your choice with a valid right to work. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role in any of the listed locations. Show me the benefits - 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 - We offer 25 days of holiday + your public holidays - For our Team, we offer both hybrid and fully remote working options - Option to purchase 5 additional days of holiday through a salary sacrifice - We use MyndUp to give our employees access to free mental health and well-being support with great success so far ❤️‍🩹 - Paid parental leave - we want to make sure that we're supportive of families and help you feel that you don't have to compromise your family due to work 👶 The interview process We want to ensure you are set-up for success and understand what will be expected of you. If your application is successful, our interview process is as follows: - Intro call: a 30-minute chat with our Talent Partner to discuss the role and your background. - Hiring Manager interview: a 45-60mins experience-based conversation to assess your background and experience fit. - Pleo challenge interview: a 60mins live case study interview with two colleagues to deep dive into job specific skills. - Final interview: a 30-45mins interview with a senior leader covering values and behavioural skills. Transparency is important to us so we also wanted to share some insights about what we’re looking for in applications to ensure you can set yourself up for success! - We receive a lot of CVs, and many of them are AI-generated. We love seeing people leverage AI—it’s a big focus for us internally too—but without human intervention, these CVs can sometimes become generic and fail to show a candidate in the best light. What we're really looking for is the specific details of real impact that only you—not AI—know from your previous experience. A top tip from us is to use the “Achieved X, as measured by Y, by doing Z” formula (credit: Laszlo Bock, ~2014) to give a really clear picture of what you’ve worked on. A final note: including links to your previous companies' websites is a huge help and allows us to truly understand your background. - Every single application we receive is reviewed by a human (yes, hundreds of them) because we believe that candidates' efforts should be matched by an equal level of human care. This means that we expect a similar level of attention put into your application. Read and answer the application questions carefully, they make a huge difference in our decision-making process. - We are not looking to hire a software engineer for this role, just as much as we're not looking to hire a project manager or consultant. This is a really unique and very senior role requiring the ability to pick up technical tasks as much as the ability to manage ambiguous business context and stakeholders alignment. We’ve taken great care in writing this role description to reflect the reality of the job as best as possible, please ensure you read it carefully and highlight on your CV the experience relevant to what we are looking for. About your application English first. Since it's our company language, please submit your application in English. You’ll be using it a lot if you join us. A fair look for everyone.
