Pelico’s manufacturing orchestration management platform empowers factory teams with the agility required to respond to supply chain disruptions and deliver on time. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
Pelico runs as an elegant set of ~20 microservices that deploy on a single VM — and scale to Kubernetes for the enterprise. As we grow in the US, our most important deployments are also our hardest: aerospace and defense customers who run Pelico on their own air-gapped, on-premise infrastructure — where their IT team operates the product and we have no access to the cluster, the logs, or the data.
What they're looking for
- Deep, current hands-on Kubernetes + Helm + Terraform/IaC and Docker/Compose, managed Kubernetes (GKE/EKS/AKS) and on-prem/bare-metal
- Observability you can ship into places you can't reach — Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, Splunk, designing diagnostics and remediation for customer self-operation
- A record of owning committed enterprise deliverables end-to-end with customer IT — RACI, SLAs, checkpoints, scope — and hitting the dates
- Leading by example — you set the bar by doing, ideally you've managed ~3+ engineers, or you're an exceptional hands-on tech lead ready to build and run a small team
- Comfort treating security & operability as infrastructure — you've operated in regulated, customer-owned, or on-prem environments and design for auditability and self-service
More about this role
Traditional industrial manufacturing systems were built for predictability. Supply chains no longer are. Today, real-time data is buried in legacy tools that weren't designed for constant disruption. By the time an issue surfaces, it has already snowballed, sending everyone into firefighting mode. Pelico exists to close the gap between production plans and the daily reality on the factory floor.
We've built the manufacturing orchestration platform trusted by the world's most complex industrial operations : companies like Airbus, Boeing, Safran, Eaton, and Cartier. Our AI connects fragmented supply chain, production, and quality data into a single live operational picture — then puts AI agents to work anticipating disruptions, simulating recovery options, and keeping every team aligned before small problems become expensive ones.
Founded in 2019 and backed by General Catalyst, 83North, and Serena, we've raised $72M and are growing fast — 300% year-over-year revenue growth, deployed in 15+ countries, and supporting factories worldwide. We're headquartered in Paris, with offices in Miami, London and Amsterdam, and we're just getting started.
