Personio

Company Name: Personio
Job Title: Senior Fullstack Engineer - Workflow Automation
Job Description: Personio's intelligent HR platform helps small and medium-sized organizations unlock the power of people by making complicated, time-consuming tasks simple and efficient. Our growing team of 1,800+ Personios across Europe and the US are building user-friendly products that delight our 14,000+ customers and their 1.5 million employees. Ready to make an impact from day one?

The Role: Fullstack Engineer - Automations

We’re looking for a Senior 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.

What You'll Do:

Develop High-Impact Solutions – Design and build scalable, efficient backend/frontend systems using Kotlin on the backend and React on the frontend.
Full-Stack Contributions – The role is sometimes more frontend and sometimes more backend-heavy so you will regularly work between these areas.
Cross-Team Collaboration – Partner with frontend and backend engineers, product managers, and other teams to align on priorities and deliver end-to-end solutions.
Improve System Performance – Optimize API performance, database queries, and reduce frontend latency for high-traffic web solutions.
Operational Excellence. Participation in on-call responsibilities and building alerts and monitoring that ensures ervices remain online 24/7. Proactively enhance engineering processes and incident management.

What We’re Looking For:

Product Engineering sensibilities. You enjoy solving customer problems through your work. This means you provide proactive feedback to your EM/PM, make fixes without being asked to do so, and keep the customer in mind as you build products.
Growth Mindset. You are eager to grow with each project and seek to learn from others. You’re also open and interested in mentoring others.
Strong fullstack feature development abilities. You enjoy jumping between the frontend and the backend and 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.
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, architecture, and distributed systems.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills. Clear, transparent and regular communication is essential for the team and its stakeholders.
Comfort working with other teams. You are at ease working in a cross-functional team environment, collaborating with product managers and engineers on other teams.

If you do not have all the qualifications for this role, we still encourage you to apply. We believe in creating an environment where you can learn and grow as an engineer. With a positive and high accountability attitude, we’re confident you’ll fit in well.

The Role: How you'll make an impact at Personio

Personio's intelligent HR platform helps small and medium-sized organisations unlock the power of people by making complicated, time-consuming tasks simple and efficient. Our growing team of 1,800+ Personios across Europe and the US are building user-friendly products that delight our 14,000+ customers and their 1.5 million employees. Ready to make an impact from day one?

Security is a first-class priority in Personio and we are looking for an experienced Security Analyst to join our growing Security organisation. Personio processes highly sensitive data for thousands of customers and so security comes first when designing and operating our platform and applications. We’re on a journey to supply Personio with best-in-class security programs and technologies to maintain trust with our customers.

On the Security Operations (SecOps) Team, our mission is to enable Personio to detect and manage security threats to its customers and business. As part of SecOps, you will work to identify potential vulnerabilities, data breaches, and signs of compromise in our environment, and work with colleagues from across Personio to understand and remediate such threats.

Role Responsibilities: What you'll do

Work with SecOps Engineers to deploy and maintain high-quality detections on our Security Monitoring (SIEM) platform
Regularly review events and alerts from both production and corporate IT system feeds, looking for signs of compromise
Flag noisy and underperforming alerts for improvement, providing insights to SecOps Engineering for remediation
Identify gaps in logging quality and work with SecOps Engineers to remediate
Help build out our detection and response playbooks, adding new insights and automations to our investigation and incident response procedures
Identify gaps in existing detection or response playbooks, ensuring they are always up-to-date and effective
Support the wider Security Team by participating in regular “Firefighting” rotations where you’ll act as the on-duty team representative, answering inquiries from across the business and responding to urgent matters
Provide SME support during Security Incident Response and Post Mortem activities

Role Requirements: What you need to succeed

BS in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent professional experience
At least 5 years of experience in related areas of Cyber Security, with working knowledge of threat detection, incident response, or similar functions
Familiarity with the latest threat landscape facing Cloud-based apps, SaaS Providers and how to spot them in activity logs
Strong skills in working with complex, high-volume data sets using SQL-like query languages to find signs of compromise
Confidence leading large Security Incidents, supervising an incident response team and providing executive-style updates for our stakeholders
Understanding of best practices in security forensics, log collection from different data sources
Hands-on experience with standard security tech stacks in the industry – SOAR, SIEM, threat intelligence tools, EDR, NGFW and beyond
Eagerness to create scripts and tooling to automate and improve your operational tasks, with working knowledge of at least one scripting language, such as Python
Excellent written and spoken English skills, with the ability to adapt messaging to executive, technical, and non-technical audiences

And your motivation:

You are a team player. You are open to different approaches and support the team in making decisions.
You are a proactive problem solver. You are willing to leave the code, documentation and processes you come across in a better shape than when you first encountered them.
You are pragmatic and aware of the business value your efforts provide. You don’t create security roadblocks, but rather enable and coach your peers to deliver secure solutions to address common challenges.
You have a healthy “security mindset”. You trust but verify the data you work with, and you are always searching for new threats and new ways of doing things.
You embrace change. You love to try new tools and ways of working and have an iterative approach to your work. You don’t have a deep attachment to certain vendors or stacks, because you know the perfect tool doesn’t exist and that a well-trained analyst can work with anything.
You embrace feedback. No one is perfect, and neither are we. So let’s make this an opportunity to praise and learn from each other.
Teaching, coaching, and empowering your colleagues are things that fulfill you.

This role will see you tackling complex engineering problems in areas like time tracking, attendances, absences, and salaries – the very workflows that keep our customers’ businesses ticking.

You’ll join a domain with over 60 engineers, and work in cross-functional teams dedicated to solving deeply technical challenges with real-world impact. Whether it's building scalable systems to handle compliance across multiple countries or designing tools that help HR teams manage shifts more effectively – your work will matter.

Collaborate Cross-Functionally – Work closely with frontend engineers, product managers, and designers to ship features from concept to production.

What We’re Looking For

3–5+ years of backend engineering experience in JVM-based languages (Kotlin, Java, Scala – we’re flexible).
A solid understanding of distributed systems, data modelling, and performance optimisation.
Experience in building and operating data-intensive applications, ideally in regulated or compliance-heavy environments (FinTech or HRTech a plus).

You’ll work on some of the most impactful features in the platform, affecting thousands of users across Europe.
Be part of a domain that’s key to Personio’s international growth and mid-market expansion strategy.
Join a supportive and collaborative engineering culture where you’re trusted to own your work and grow your career.
