Role
Who you are
- Strong fullstack feature development abilities. You enjoy jumping between the frontend and the backend. You can take features from product spec to completion. You do whatever it takes to get there and you’re not afraid to tackle new challenges
- Product Engineering sensibilities. You enjoy solving customer problems through your work. You’re obsessed with the user experience. You think beyond the code and care how users interact with the product and whether it solves the right problem
- Product Thinking. You have a strong intuition for product tradeoffs, MVP scoping, and prioritization. You are comfortable asking "why are we building this?" You’re comfortable pushing back if something doesn’t align with the product vision or proposing an alternative that can help the team see results faster
- Experience at scale with the ability to stay scrappy. You have worked on high-traffic web applications and large codebases. Nevertheless, you remain scrappy in order to maximize velocity. Personio is still a young and hungry startup, and you navigate this in a balanced manner
- Strong design/architecture skills. You have a solid understanding of API design and software architecture
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills. Clear, transparent, and regular communication is essential for the team and its stakeholders
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Lead Fullstack Engineer to join one of several teams within the Workflow Automations product area
- The Automations product enables mid-sized and large businesses to operate at scale
- Our product teams enable employees to set up and automate complex business processes via intuitive experiences
- We build and operate platforms and services at scale that enable customers to get their HR work completed efficiently
- We also operate the Document Managment platform, one of the most used features within Personio
- Collaborate. You’ll work closely with product managers and designers to shape the roadmap, contributing both technical insight and product judgment
- Ship Impact. Build and ship high-impact product features end-to-end — from UI to backend to database
- High accountability. Take full ownership of features or surfaces, from ideation and design reviews to production monitoring and iteration
- Advocate for the user. Translate user needs and product requirements into thoughtful, scalable engineering solutions. Drive decisions that prioritize usability, accessibility, and performance
- Watch your ideas become reality. We want you to proactively identify areas for improvement in the user experience and contribute ideas that make the product better
- Work cross-functionally. You’ll partner with design, product, marketing, and support to ensure product success across the board
- Own your uptime. Participate in on-call and operational excellence reviews to ensure the service stays highly available
Salary benchmarks
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.
