Golang Job: Lead Golang Engineer - People Workflows Automation

The Role

At Personio we are on the amazing journey of becoming the leading HR Platform in Europe! Join our international agile Product, Design & Engineering team and take an active role in shaping our engineering culture and the future of thousands of HR teams and organizations across Europe. At Personio you will have a direct impact on our product, our users, our organization, and our engineering practices.

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.
You will join the squad responsible for Personio Conversations, a concierge for employees and a centralized point for all your employee requests. Conversations are part of the People Workflow Automation initiative. PWA automates people workflows across the employee lifecycle, across different tools and teams. It enables HR to go beyond HR and win back valuable time, time that can then be spent on and with people. 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 People Workflow Automation journey for Personio — we are just getting started!

Role & Responsibilities

• You'll join a team working on the latest software Personio released in August 2022, improving the experience of every employee working for Personio's customers.

• With the help of our product manager, you'll design and implement new features that our customers will love.

• You'll design and develop a maintainable, reliable, performant, and secure API to empower the frontend and our Slack/MSTeams integrations.

• You'll lead by example and push our engineering practices towards excellence with efficient, performant code, good design patterns and healthy engineering standards.

• You'll mentor engineers and review their code and RFCs to help them grow in their careers.

• You'll participate in technical case interviews to bring in exceptional talents such as yourself.

How we work

• We use our platform mindset to build services that every team can leverage and build upon.
• We are a product company, so our teams are organised in a mission-based cross-functional fashion. You will work in the Workflows and Integrations Domain, alongside other Backend Engineers, Designers, Product and Engineering managers to create the building blocks to automate processes in all other customer-facing domains.
• We have a “you built it, you run it” attitude and CI/CD is second nature to us - we use AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and GitLab to implement it.

What you need to succeed

The skills you are bringing:

• You have strong expertise with Go and professional experience building software at scale.

• You follow industry best practices and deliver clean and tested code.

• You have experience leading and mentoring other engineers. That means unblocking them, helping them become better engineers by reinforcing best practices, and reviewing their code and RFCs.

• You have experience designing software components, respecting the separation of concern and making architectural decisions to help maintain the codebase.

• You can translate Domain strategy into engineering decisions.

• You have excellent written and spoken English (level C1/C2 on the CEFR scale).

The motivation you are bringing:

• You are a team player. You don’t micromanage, you are open to different approaches, and you support the team on making decisions.

• You are a proactive problem solver. You are willing to leave code and engineering practices in a better shape than when you first encountered them.

• You are pragmatic and aware of the business value your code delivers. You can sacrifice “ideal” for “solid”. But you don’t leave tech debt behind.

• You embrace change and have an iterative mindset for delivering software: bring your agile mindset to the table!

• You 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.
