How We Work

We work in "squads" –  Our squads are mission driven and include Product Managers, Designers, Backend and Mobile engineers, aiming to develop and maintain products, services and tools towards an unforgettable user experience, as well as aiding any related operations from Plum’s side. Squads are organised into Pillars which align with our different strategic business areas. We trust massively on data driven, well informed squads that own their work.
