What the job involves
- Navan is looking for a talented Site Reliability Engineer (SRE-2) to join our world-class team in the Bay Area, where you'll play a crucial role in ensuring our services are always available for our travelers
- At Navan, we're committed to making our systems the most reliable and scalable possible. As an SRE, you'll be instrumental in achieving this by designing and developing the tooling, automation, and infrastructure services that power the Navan platform, used daily by thousands of travelers

- Leverage AI-driven insights and technologies to proactively identify potential issues, optimize system performance, and enhance our autonomous, fault-tolerant infrastructure
- Collaborate across a diverse range of systems and technologies, with a focus on building infrastructure that is optimized for both simplicity and uptime

Our take
Navan (formerly known as TripActions) is operating in a crowded marketplace, betting against rivals with similar offerings of user interface personalisation technology. Even so, the company's growth has skyrocketed and it has attracted significant investor interest. Competitors cannot match Navan's cutting-edge, AI-driven services, as well as 24-hour customer support.
Since its founding in 2015 the company has seen significant growth in transactions and in active users. Having expanded from its core travel expense management product, it now offers a corporate card and general expenses management, underwriting its customers' short term business expenses with its own Liquid financial offering. Navan has a list of impressive clients, including Glassdoor, Zoom, and Shopify.
Moving forwards, the company is focused on gaining more reach, especially in Europe. As part of the expanded go-to-market strategy, it rebranded to Navan with a more people-centric design approach. It also combined its travel, corporate card and expense services into a single app which is now available to individual users rather than only through a corporate account. This will be key in bridging the gap between business travel and consumer apps, especially in the lead-up to its reported IPO in the near future.
