About Pelico

We are creating the factory of the future where disruptions are avoided, processes synchronized and value captured. Our factory operations management platform enables factory teams to be more agile and resilient in a world where supply chain disruptions occur every 16 minutes. Pelico empowers users to identify bottlenecks, avoid problems, and focus on innovation instead of fire-fighting. Since our foundation in 2019, we’ve partnered with industry leaders across aerospace, industrial equipment, and luxury watchmaking, revolutionizing factory operations in over 15 countries.

Esteemed clients include Airbus, Safran, Cartier, Daikin, and Eaton.

With a dynamic team of over 190 professionals across the US and France, Pelico is a melting pot of top‑tier talent from Tech, Data Science, and Manufacturing domains. Our collaborative environment foster innovation and excellence, driving us to solve complex challenges and shape the future of manufacturing.

Our work has been recognized by Safran (Digital Transformation Award) and Microsoft (scale‑up of the year).

Engineering turns Product ambition into scalable, reliable solutions that empower on‑site operational teams. We design a platform that handles high volumes, concurrent users, and complex workflows, while remaining modular, maintainable, and future‑proof.

• 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.
• You’ll own that frontier. You’ll lead a small Dev Ops team (≈3–5) and own how Pelico is packaged, deployed and operated in environments we can’t see — so a customer’s IT team can stand it up, run it, diagnose it, and recover it on their own, while we still hit every commitment we make. This is a player‑coach role: hands‑on in the infrastructure, in the room with customer IT, and accountable for delivery.
• Over the next 12–18 months you’ll drive two co‑primary tracks: the on‑prem deployment frontier — tooling and packaging that get Pelico’s current and committed enterprise customers live and self‑operable, repeatably, not bespoke — and a federal posture, standing up Gov Cloud / FedRAMP (controls as code) so Pelico can serve federal and defense customers on certified infrastructure. The federal track is the most probable near‑term direction, not a distant maybe.

• Make it operable without us. Design the observability and self‑remediation story for air‑gapped, customer‑run environments — shipped diagnostics, remediation playbooks, health checks, alert auto‑classification. Go deep: auto‑diagnose and auto‑remediate, not just "rerun the pipeline."
• Package it for any environment. Build the Helm charts, Compose stacks, and Terraform/IaC for Pelico’s real deployment variants — on‑prem single‐VM, air‑gapped Kubernetes, and private‑cloud (GKE/GKS, EKS, AKS) — deployable by customer IT with clean runbooks.
• Deliver on the commitment. Turn an enterprise deliverable — "ship a GKS Helm chart in a month, with three people" — into a roadmap with weekly checkpoints, MVP scope, and a date you hit.
• Make it repeatable — and federal‑ready. Turn bespoke deployments into repeatable tooling that gets current and committed customers live without…
