THE ROLE
At Personio we are on the amazing journey of becoming the leading HR Platform in Europe!

You will work in an effective, autonomous feature-based team, where you will get to play out your dev skills in a high-impact driven environment. You will be responsible for the full cycle of feature development in your team (“You build it, you run it”), and take part in architecting the backend of our complex, mission-critical HR Operating System

How we work:

- 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!

- We are experiencing rapid growth and are “building our plane while flying it”. So bring your agile mindset to the table!
- Embrace feedback – no one is perfect, neither are we. So let’s make this an opportunity to praise and learn from each other.
- Proactive problem solver. You are willing to leave code and engineering practices in a better shape than when you first encountered them
