Senior Backend Engineer - Payroll Domain - Munich or Remote (m/f/d)

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

Join the Payroll Tribe as a Senior Backend Engineer and take an active role in establishing Personio as the number 1 Payroll Platform for SMEs in Germany, and laying the foundation to scale across Europe while we transform what’s left of our PHP application into Kotlin microservices.

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 People Operating System.

This role can be on-site in Munich or fully remote from one of the following countries: Germany, Spain, Ireland, Netherlands or UK.

As a Senior Backend Engineer in the Payroll domain you will:

• Drive technical discussions inside the team and communicate technical decisions to stakeholders
• Identify, document, and communicate technical improvements within the team domain
• Contribute to the creation of internal team engineering standards
• Coach and onboard junior and professional team members
• Drive small- to medium-sized cross-team engineering initiatives
• Participate in technical case interviews

How we work:

• We are transforming our PHP and Ruby application into Go and Kotlin microservices!
• We are a product company so our teams are organized in a mission-based cross-functional fashion. You will work with other Backend Engineers, Frontend Engineers, a Designer, a Product Manager, and an Engineering Manager on one product vertical of our HR Management & Recruiting software.
• 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 skills you should bring:

• • 5+ years of software development experience using either Kotlin, Java or .NET
  • Experience using Spring Boot in a microservice environment
  • Track record of working in an agile setup using continuous deployment and delivery
  • Experience with event driven architectures, domain driven design and eventual consistency
  • Knowledge about resilience patterns
  • Experience with containerisation and container orchestration (Docker and Kubernetes preferred) in a cloud environment (AWS preferred)
  • Strong written and spoken English (level C1 on the CEFR scale), German is a plus

• What motivation and mentality you should bring:
  
  
  • We want to build a category leader for HR software in Europe. You should bring passion for making lives of others (in our case: Employees and HR professionals) better.
  • 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
  • Let’s grow together - share your knowledge, we will share ours!
  • Humour. Have fun with us, learn with us from mistakes and bring your good vibes.
