Why Join Deel?

As the fastest-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company in history, Deel is transforming how global talent connects with world-class companies – breaking down borders that have traditionally limited both hiring and career opportunities. We're not just building software; we're creating the infrastructure for the future of work, enabling a more diverse and inclusive global economy. In 2024 alone, we paid $11.2 billion to workers in nearly 100 currencies and provided healthcare and benefits to workers in 109 countries—ensuring people get paid and protected, no matter where they are.

Our momentum is reflected in our achievements and customer satisfaction: CNBC Disruptor 50, Forbes Cloud 100, Deloitte Fast 500, and repeated recognition on Y Combinator’s top companies list – all while maintaining a 4.83 average rating from 15,000 reviews across G2, Trustpilot, Capterra, Apple and Google.

Your experience at Deel will be a career accelerator. At the forefront of the global work revolution, you'll tackle complex challenges that impact millions of people's working lives. With our momentum—backed by a $12 billion valuation and $1 B in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just over five years—you'll drive meaningful impact while building expertise that makes you a sought-after leader in the transformation of global work.

The Infra Engineering Team

Our team was created to support Deel engineering growth and build a platform for product teams, so they could ship business value faster. Deel is at a very unique position because we are big enough that we need the platform but we are young enough to not have it yet. There is a dedicated DevOps team and they take care of the infrastructure, while we work on the edge between devops and engineering enforcing standards and best practices, creating tooling, maintaining internal libraries, providing architectural guidance and owning some high-loaded core services and responding to production incidents when needed. It’s 65% engineering and 35% devops. We have a lot of freedom, but it comes with responsibility.

Who We Are Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience as a Back-End Engineer
  • Kubernetes, Helm and Docker knowledge
  • Experience with Node.js, Postgres/Mysql, RabbitMq/Nats/Kafka
  • Experience with Infrastructure, observability/monitoring tools
  • Strong system design and problem solving skills, we often deal with the “unknown”
  • Experience in building CI/CD pipelines
  • Nice to have: Experience building Internal Developer Platforms and tooling
  • You are a hands-on troubleshooter
  • Strong communication skills, we often need to orchestrate projects with 10+ teams
  • You are ready for challenges

Total Rewards

Our workforce deserves fair and competitive pay that meets them where they are. With scalable benefits, rewards, and perks, our total rewards programs reflect our commitment to inclusivity and access for all.

Some things you’ll enjoy:

  • Stock grant opportunities dependent on your role, employment status and location
  • Additional perks and benefits based on your employment status and country
  • The flexibility of remote work, including optional WeWork access

At Deel, we’re an equal-opportunity employer.
