Remote job description

The role

  • This role will be fully remote from one of the following countries: Spain, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands or UK.
  • At Personio we are on the amazing journey of becoming the leading HR Platform in Europe!

The real story for us begins by impacting people on a global scale every day. By simplifying and automating thousands of processes across human resource management, payroll and recruiting, we are impacting more than 400.000 people.

At Product Platform we make incredible HR products simple to build and use - through essential business capabilities, like IAM, Data Platform and Design Systems, available in an open, secure and reliable platform. We provide the building blocks so that other teams can dream big.

We are a cross-functional group of engineers, designers and product managers from many nationalities and backgrounds, spread across different locations, and we continue to grow in 2022. Join us and help shape the Product Platform journey for Personio - we are just getting started!

Responsibilities

  • You will be part of the design and creation of platform services that accelerate the delivery of unique product value to our customers
  • You autonomously own and execute on complex problems within the team and engage on technical decisions with stakeholders
  • You develop backend functionality in a incremental, maintainable, reliable, performant, and secure way
  • You push our team-internal agile and engineering practices towards excellence with efficient, performant code, good design patterns and healthy engineering standards
  • You're a coach and mentor for junior and professional engineers in your team
  • You participate in technical case interviews to bring in exceptional talent such as yourself

How we work

  • We use our platform mindset to transform our PHP application and create new functionality in Kotlin microservices
  • We are a product company, so our teams are organised in a mission-based cross-functional fashion. You will work in the Product Platform Domain, alongside other Backend Engineers, Designers, Product and Engineering managers to create the building blocks that accelerate value-delivery in customer-facing domains
  • We have a "you built it, you run it" attitude and CI/CD is our second nature - we use AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and GitLab to implement it

What you need to succeed

What skills you should bring:

  • Over 5 years of software engineering experience building and designing scalable applications, tools or distributed systems
  • Strong expertise with at least one of our tech stacks: Java/Kotlin (JVM, Gradle, SpringBoot) or PHP (Laravel)
  • Experience with event driven architectures, DDD, SOLID and eventual consistency
  • Experience in building platform services, SDKs and frameworks to streamline the internal usage of services
  • You're a cloud-native (AWS preferred) and bring experience with containerisation and container orchestration (Docker and Kubernetes preferred)
  • You can translate Domain strategy into engineering decisions
  • You have strong knowledge on software testing strategies, CI/CD, pull/merge request and code reviews
  • You have an excellent written and spoken English (level C1/C2 on the CEFR scale)

What motivation and mentality you should bring:

  • Proactive problem solver. You are willing to leave code and engineering practices in a better shape than when you first encountered them
  • We are experiencing rapid growth and are "building our plane while flying it". So bring your agile mindset to the table!
  • Let's grow together and embrace feedback - no one is perfect, neither are we. Let's make this an opportunity to praise and learn from each other.
  • Teaching, Coaching and empowering your colleagues is something that fulfils you
  • Humour. Have fun with us, learn with us from mistakes and bring your good vibes.
