Role
Who you are
- You have 5+ years of management experience. You’ve managed and grown high-performing teams, and learned from your failures
- Your strong leadership skills attract, motivate, and inspire new engineers to achieve exceptional results
- You can lead and make decisions to push forward. You’re comfortable owning even the most ambiguous problems and defining the road ahead
- You have a strong expertise with working with PHP codebases (ideally, but not necessarily Laravel). In particular you’re comfortable with the intricacies of their build ecosystems (build tools, tasks, runners, etc.)
- You excel at designing, building, documenting and distributing robust and delightful solutions in the form of services, CLI tools, scripts & plugins for developers
- You’re opinionated on development processes and best practices (merge requests, approvals, trunk-based vs branch-based development, etc), and are eager to optimize and automate them
- You want to work with a very technical team on developer-facing tools and services, and you understand the value of writing great technical documentation and useful tutorials
- You are data driven and are passionate about using metrics to define and evaluate your engineering design decisions
- You have an excellent written and spoken English (level C1/C2 on the CEFR scale)
- You embrace feedback - no one is perfect, neither are we. So let’s make this an opportunity to praise and learn from each other
What the job involves
- We’re looking for experienced Software Engineers to join our Product & Technology department, who will play an active role in shaping our engineering culture and the future of thousands of HR teams and organizations across Europe
- The Monolith Developer Experience and Monolith Stability teams sit within our Developer Experience (DX) tribe
- Collectively within DX we enable other engineers to build, test and deploy code quickly, easily and reliably on their own
- We focus on maximizing engineering efficiency, by developing and distributing robust and practical development tools, building scalable DevOps processes, and advocating for software development best practices
- As a member of the DX team your focus will be to build tooling solutions which reduce the complexity and risk of developing, deploying and releasing software
- The Engineering Manager is a high-impact, cross-functional role at the heart of our engineering organization
- The team supports our internal engineering teams throughout the complete development lifecycle of Personio, using a unique mix of skill sets to enable our product engineers to take advantage of everything the platform provides while also minimizing the cognitive load required to do so
- You will research, engineer and experiment with new ways to improve developer satisfaction and increase developer velocity by providing efficient, effective tooling and questioning the status quo
- You will foster relationships and partner with product teams to support them through platform-specific migrations
- You’ll learn from and understand the challenges they face so that you can translate them into result-oriented solutions that help improve their experience of building software at Personio
- You will act as a technical leader and help improve the team’s engineering culture, defining best practices on how we manage technical debt, refactoring, design patterns and coding principles, code review and pair programming
- You will use your existing experience to help drive the platform forward with new ideas and strategies that help maintain the quality, reliability, security, performance and cost effectiveness of the product and platform
- You will partner with other engineering managers across the organisation, keeping them up-to-date and informed with technical details across multiple projects
- Helping to ensure the team is delivering results in an iterative fashion that is driven by impact and promotes a culture of experimentation and shipping to learn
Our take
Personio was set up to automate and simplify HR tasks with a single software. This means reducing admin and accelerating efficiency with data and processes seamlessly integrating with each other.
What sets Personio apart from its competitors is the fact that its solution covers all the core HR processes that are key to every company’s success and can be performed in one place. This gives HR professionals the time and energy to focus on more strategic topics like talent development and employer branding. Personio has over 15,000 customers, among which are 1.5 million employees using its software.
With substantial funding from multiple investors, Personio is focused on growing the tools it offers as well as expanding into what they describe as “people workflow automation". With 1.7 million small and medium-sized businesses still stuck in the spreadsheet era, Personio will deliver even more value to businesses in years to come.
