THE ROLE

The Technology Platform domain mission is to ensure Personio builds and scales as a high performing engineering organisation. We drive engineering excellence in Personio, for the benefit of our engineers, our product, and our customers by comprising teams dedicated to excellence in specific areas of software engineering. We measure the core metrics of software development delivery and we use them to drive initiatives that enable teams to build, test, deliver, and operate their software to the highest industry standards. This makes our engineers happy and empowered to do great work. Our measurable contribution to the success of Personio lies in empowering engineering excellence positively impacting Product Development and leading to increased customer satisfaction.

Like all our domains we are a group of engineers from many different nationalities and backgrounds, spread across different locations and we continue to grow in 2022. Join us and help shape the Technology Platform journey for Personio.

Personio is aiming to build a storage team that will provide tools and infrastructure as code used by our whole engineering department, our BI teams, and within our own infrastructure teams. We need to create a new team and application layer around our storage to interface with all our internal customers.

We need you to solve our main challenges for our product engineers like the ability to create and operate databases autonomously, facilitate data access, and excel in monitoring.
At the same time, Personio aims to serve more and more customers, leading to new scalability and architectural challenges that will need to be addressed.

In 2 years we aim to have a storage platform that is easy to scale, observable, and cost-optimized while being easily accessible by all our stakeholders.
