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 team of 1,500 Personios is building user-friendly products that delight our 15,000+ customers and their 1.5 million employees. Ready to make an impact from day one?

This role requires you to be in the Munich or Berlin office three days per week.

Partner Management at Personio is more than just building out our partner network—it is an integral part of our growth strategy! The Partnerships team develops our partner network across Europe, expanding its reach and depth to generate business for Personio, deepening Personio's product value through integrations and joint solutions, and strengthening our brand through long-term relationships.

This role sits in our Tech Partnerships lane, where technical depth meets commercial impact. As Senior Technical Partner Manager DACH, you'll own the technical and integration relationship with a portfolio of strategic tech and marketplace partners — turning integrations into a real product advantage and a reliable source of partner-influenced pipeline. This is a non-quota-carrying role, but it is not a back-office one: you'll be a visible, trusted counterpart for senior stakeholders at partner organizations, a driver of cross-functional alignment inside Personio, and a voice that shapes what we build next.

You'll work in close partnership with our Commercial Tech Partnership Managers, Product, Engineering, Sales and Marketing — and, because so much of this role runs through German-speaking partners and internal stakeholders in DACH, fluent German is essential.

If you enjoy the technical side of partnerships as much as the relationship side — scoping an integration, managing a launch to a measurable outcome, and then standing in front of a partner's leadership team to talk about what's next — this role is for you.

Role Responsibilities: What you'll do

• Own the integration lifecycle end-to-end. Take partner integrations from initial technical assessment through build, QA, and go-live, and manage delivery of a successful launch with measurable customer and/or business outcomes — owning your projects from start to finish and caring about the quality of what ships, in an increasingly cross-functional context.

• Set direction and optimize how we work. Own initiatives and processes across your partner portfolio, make the tactical calls needed to keep them moving through complexity, and role-model the Personio Principles in how you work with internal and external teams.

• Lead with data, not just instinct. Autonomously pull in and interpret partner, product and market data to inform your priorities and roadmap, proactively surface data nobody asked you to look at, and always be able to explain the "why" behind a decision.

• Build and use a real network. Cultivate a wide internal and external network, actively trade learnings across it, and adapt how you communicate to fit stakeholders ranging from an engineer to a partner's managing director.

• Be the trusted counterpart for senior partner stakeholders. Navigate complex partner organizations independently and establish yourself as a credible, respected voice with senior stakeholders — including owners and leaders at larger partner firms — leading conversations with large external groups and presenting confidently to large audiences.

• Drive commercial outcomes alongside the business. Support Sales and Commercial Partnership Managers in hitting their targets by designing and driving larger commercial initiatives around your integrations — co-sell motions, joint campaigns, activation pushes — even though you don't carry a number yourself.

• Read the market and shape what we build. Understand and clearly categorize partner needs and market trends, and turn that into clear hypotheses that influence Personio's product direction and strategy.

• Operate autonomously. Manage risk and dependencies across your projects with little need for outside help, escalating early and cleanly when something genuinely needs it.

• Recommend what's next. Don't wait to be told what to prioritize — proactively bring forward the next project worth tackling, and make the case for why.

Role Requirements: What you need to succeed

• Relevant experience: 5+ years in a technical partner management, solutions engineering, developer relations, or partner integration role, ideally in B2B SaaS.

• Technical fluency: Comfortable in both technical and commercial conversations — you can assess an integration's technical fit, work with API/webhook-level detail alongside Engineering, and just as easily represent it to a partner's business stakeholders.

• Program/project management skills: Proven ability to plan and drive complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives — sequencing work, tracking dependencies and risks, and holding Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales and partner teams to a shared timeline without having formal authority over any of them.

• Proven delivery track record: A track record of managing integration or product partnership launches from scoping to go-live, with clear, measurable outcomes.

• Independent stakeholder management: Experience building trusted, senior-level relationships with partner organizations, including owners or leaders at larger firms, without needing a title or authority to back it up.

• Data-driven decision-making: Comfortable sourcing and using data autonomously to prioritize your own roadmap and defend your decisions.

• Executive presence: Strong presentation and communication skills, with experience leading conversations with larger external and internal groups and presenting to senior or large audiences.

• Ownership mentality: You take projects from start to finish, hold yourself to a high bar on quality, and don't need to be chased.

• Language & mobility: Fluent in German and English (spoken and written), with willingness to travel within DACH.

• AI Fluency: You have hands-on experience using AI to improve your workflow, and the sound judgment to know exactly when to rely on it and when to step in yourself.

Our team of 1,500 Personios is building user-friendly products that delight our 15,000+ customers and their 1.5 million employees. Ready to make an impact from day one?

This role requires 2 days per week in the office and is based in London.

As a Staff Product Designer, AI you will help define the future of Personio's AI-driven HR technology. This role sits within the Intelligence product area, where you will shape the Personio Assistant experience and play a pivotal role designing Personio’s next-generation agentic offering. You will own the functional strategy for this product area and coordinate with stakeholders across disciplines to ship high-quality solutions that respond pragmatically to customer needs.

Alongside developing high quality AI product experiences, you will help evolve the design practice at Personio. Technical advances in AI are continuously enabling new tools and methods in product development, and Personio is committed to exploring and integrating the latest possibilities.

Who you are
This role is for an AI-native product designer: you use AI tools daily to think, prototype, and ship faster. You are already comfortable designing agentic product experiences to shape how autonomy, trust, and control show up in the interface. You are energized by ambiguity, want to build platform-level patterns for other teams to leverage, and see this moment in AI as the most interesting design problem available right now.

What you'll do

• Design for varying levels of AI autonomy and control, balancing automation with user oversight in high-stakes HR workflows.

• Design and iterate on feedback loops and evaluation surfaces that help users (and the team) understand what the AI is doing, catch errors early, and build trust in AI-driven outcomes.

• Be a driving force behind Personio's AI platform, partnering with other product teams and with Design Systems to extend the Assistant’s core capabilities and build new agentic use cases.

• Work at the leading edge of AI enabled workflows and bring new approaches to the design process. Ship and iterate quickly on live product surfaces — you are comfortable designing fixes and incremental improvements, not only net-new flows.

• Manage entire work-streams, providing product direction through goal-setting and planning.

• Develop thoughtful and inclusive design strategies for experiences across Personio. Balance ambitious, insight-driven goals with practical constraints.

• Create high fidelity deliverables (including hand-coded or AI-assisted prototypes) that articulate and inform product vision.

• Define shared design patterns, interaction primitives, and extension points, connecting disparate projects to avoid or reconcile avoidable divergence.

• Uplift design through culture of excellence and empathetic support, mentoring designers and cross-functional peers and providing constructive critique and feedback.

What you need to succeed

• Experience designing AI-native or agentic product surfaces — conversational interfaces, systems that take autonomous action, or workflows where trust and explainability are core to the product experience.

• Understanding of how model behavior and constraints shape what's possible — you can partner with engineering on trade-offs, not just hand off specs.

• Experience designing platform-level patterns or extensible systems that other teams build on — comfortable acting as a design partner, not just a reviewer, to teams outside your own, and co-owning shared standards with Design Systems.

• A "product builder" mindset: comfortable using AI-assisted prototyping/coding tools to move from concept to working prototype quickly, and shipping smaller fixes without waiting for a full design cycle.

• Experience and passion for one or more dimensions of design, e.g., Product thinking, Interaction Design and Crafted execution.

• Experience in extending or creating reusable frameworks, tooling, rituals, playbooks, patterns or processes adopted by others that improve how teams work.

• Proven track record of leading a product area with autonomy and shipping high-impact, multi-release product outcomes.

• Comfortable bringing clarity to complex, undefined, or highly regulated spaces, with the accountability and judgment to make decisions independently.

   

• AI Fluency: You have hands-on experience using AI to improve your workflow, and the sound judgment to know exactly when to rely on it and when to step in yourself.

The Role

This role requires 2 days per week in the office and is based in Munich or London. At Personio, we're on a mission to help millions of people have a better work life. Our People Operating System empowers organisations across Europe to manage HR, payroll, and employee experience in one place.

As a Staff Engineer, you will set the technical direction for the Payroll Foundations team, the group responsible for the core systems that power Personio Payroll. These systems ensure employees are paid accurately, payroll processes run reliably, and critical outputs such as payslips and reporting documents are generated at the right time. This is a hands-on technical leadership role for an engineer who can anchor complex, long-running initiatives across the payroll backend, solve the hardest problems around correctness, reliability, and performance at scale, and raise the bar for everyone around them.

• Hands-on delivery: Comfort staying close to the code and contributing significant production work while also setting direction for others.

• Cross-team technical leadership: Demonstrated ability to anchor long-running initiatives spanning multiple teams, from direction-setting through to a shipped, dependable result.

• Coaching and influence: A history of raising standards and supporting the growth of the engineers around you.

• AI Fluency: You have hands-on experience using AI to improve your workflow, and the sound judgment to know exactly when to rely on it and when to step in yourself.

Nice to have:

• Regulated-domain experience: Background in fintech, payroll, or other regulated, financially sensitive domains.

• Compliance-critical systems: Familiarity with systems where accuracy and compliance are critical.

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 team of 1,500 Personios is building user-friendly products that delight our 15,000+ customers and their 1.5 million employees. Ready to make an impact from day one?

This role requires 2 days per week in the office and is based in Munich, Berlin, or Dublin.

Personio is on the path to becoming an AI-first company, redesigning how every department operates, and the Internal AI team is leading that transformation from the inside. Central to that mission is Personio's internal AI operating system: the layer of internal tools, automations and agents each function runs on. The mandate is broad: rebuilding how an entire business function operates end to end, with executive sponsorship behind the structural change that requires.

This role owns that transformation for one department. You embed in a business function and learn how the work actually gets done. Then you redesign it from first principles, working out how you would build the function today, and deliver what it needs to work that way.

You set the roadmap with the department's leadership and stay accountable until the new way of working is the way the team actually works. You'll work closely with our AI Engineers to deliver it, prototyping yourself to prove an idea works and partnering with them on everything that needs production engineering.

This is a role for a builder and systems thinker who is comfortable with technical work: finding your way around a repository, opening a pull request, standing up a working prototype in no-code tools. Engineering experience is welcome, though not a requirement.

What you'll work on

• Build the transformation roadmap for your department with its leadership team, defensible in front of their C-level counterparts, with opportunities clearly mapped and sized.

• Define the outcomes of the transformation with department leadership, translate them into metrics and baselines, and drive the results all the way through.

• Design the department's operating model from first principles: which processes and workflows AI should run end-to-end, where a human needs to stay in the loop, and how decisions get made across the function.

• Scope and design the products that make the redesign real: what each agent, internal app or automation needs to do, and what's in scope for a first version versus later.

• Prototype hands-on in no-code and low-code tools, proving a redesign against real work before the department commits to it.

• Deliver alongside AI Engineers, owning the requirements, priorities and results for anything that needs production engineering.

• Land the change, resetting targets, roles and rituals where needed and driving the adoption and change management that make it stick, so the function keeps improving without the AI team in the room.

What you bring

• 5+ years in product management or operations at a fast-moving tech company or top-tier consultancy, driving transformation

• Complex change management you've delivered inside an organisation, changing how a team works day to day

• Systems thinking: you see how a function's processes, incentives, metrics and decision rights have to move together

• Real product management skills and product sense: you've taken a live product, internal or external, from zero to one, and you're not afraid to get into the build yourself rather than hand it off

• Strong analytics and measurement: SQL, and the judgment to set outcome metrics and baselines that hold up under scrutiny

• AI in your own work and your team's: workflows you've genuinely changed, adoption you've driven beyond yourself, and the ability to explain in plain words what an agent, an MCP and a skill are

• Comfortable with technical work: repositories and pull requests, the terminal, reading and changing a script, and building in n8n, Zapier, Make, Cowork and Claude skills

• High agency with senior stakeholders: you scope ambiguous work yourself, carry C-level stakeholders without direct authority, and hold a position under pressure

This role requires 2 days per week in the office and is based in Munich/Berlin/London.

As a Design Engineer at Personio, you will sit at the intersection of design craft and technical execution, bridging the gap between how we imagine our product and how it gets built. You will be a key force in elevating the quality, consistency, and velocity of our product experiences, working as part of our Design Infrastructure team, while also working across product teams on highest-priority initiatives.

You will build the UI components, infrastructure and systems that empowers designers to work closer to code with consistency, contribute to high-priority product experiences that touch every customer, and help create AI-powered tooling that automates repetitive front-end work. As an early member of a newly-formalized discipline at Personio, you will help define what great Design Engineering looks like — and set the bar for those who follow.

What You'll Do

• Steward and improve the design system by building and maintaining high-quality, accessible, and performant components and patterns that are used consistently across Personio’s product surfaces.

• Uplevel cohesion in the product by spotting gaps in consistency across the product, connecting disparate projects, and building reusable patterns and frameworks that scale.

• Contribute to high-priority product features by embedding with product teams to deliver UX features and systems that benefit a wide reach of customers.

• Collaborate across disciplines — maintaining a close relationship with both design and engineering to stay aligned on platform priorities, developer experience, and the evolving standards that govern design–engineering handoff.

• Contribute to our Product & Technology culture by bringing technical perspective into design conversations, and design perspective to engineering, mentoring designers on front-end concepts, and helping the org think more fluently about code and design together.

• Build AI-powered design tooling and workflows that move designers closer to code through high fidelity prototyping and live production edits.

• Help define and evolve the Design Engineering discipline at Personio — contributing to career expectations, playbooks, and processes as this practice matures.

What You Need To Succeed

• Technical proficiency in front-end development (React, Typescript, CSS) combined with strong UX sensibility and product instincts. Should have familiarity with NextJs, monorepos, UI testing, performance considerations and accessibility. Preference for experience with Vercel, Microfrontends and Motion.

• Hands-on experience with design systems, including building and scaling component libraries, tokens, and patterns adopted by multiple teams.

• Comfort with AI-assisted design and prototyping tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude), and a track record of using these to accelerate design-to-code workflows. Preference for familiarity of the Claude ecosystem and agentic development workflows.

• Experience creating reusable frameworks, tooling, or processes that improve how design and engineering teams work together and that are adopted beyond their original context.

• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across functions — working fluidly with designers, product managers, and engineers, and communicating at the intersection of both disciplines.

• An eye for craft and consistency, with the drive to proactively identify quality gaps and take initiative to address them across the product.

• Comfort operating in ambiguity, with the self-direction to define your own scope, navigate undefined spaces, and bring clarity to cross-functional challenges.

• AI Fluency: You have hands-on experience using AI to improve your workflow, and the sound judgment to know exactly when to rely on it and when to step in yourself.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will join the Payroll Foundations team, the group responsible for the core systems that power Personio Payroll. These systems ensure employees are paid accurately, payroll processes run reliably, and critical payroll outputs such as payslips and reporting documents are generated at the right time.

You will work on the backend infrastructure that sits at the heart of payroll processing, solving complex problems around correctness, reliability, and performance at scale.

This role offers the opportunity to work on high-impact systems where quality, accuracy, and engineering excellence directly affect thousands of employees being paid correctly every month.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain backend systems that power payroll processing pipelines

• Design and improve services responsible for payroll calculations and processing workflows

• Ensure payroll data is processed accurately and reliably across the platform

• Work on systems responsible for generating payslips and payroll reporting outputs

• Improve reliability, performance, and maintainability of payroll backend services

• Collaborate with product managers and engineers across payroll teams

• Contribute to technical decisions and architectural improvements within the payroll domain

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience building backend systems in production environments

• Experience working with distributed systems or large-scale backend services

• Strong programming experience in languages such as Kotlin/Java, or similar

• Experience designing reliable services with high correctness requirements

• Ability to work in a collaborative engineering environment

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills

• AI Fluency: You have hands-on experience using AI to improve your workflow, and the sound judgment to know exactly when to rely on it and when to step in yourself.

Nice to have:

• Experience in fintech, payroll, or other regulated domains

• Familiarity with systems where accuracy and compliance are critical

Why Personio

Personio is an equal opportunities employer, committed to building an inclusive and values-driven culture.

This role requires 2 days per week in office. The remaining days can be worked from home, plus 20 Flex Days per year to work remotely from other locations.

You’ll also benefit from:

• Competitive salary, benefits, and pre-IPO equity

• 28 days paid holiday, plus extra days after 2 and 4 years

• One fully paid Impact Day per year

• Family leave, mental health support, and sabbatical options

• Regular team events, office snacks, drinks, and weekly catered lunches

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 team of 1,500 Personios is building user-friendly products that delight our 15,000+ customers and their 1.5 million employees. Ready to make an impact from day one?

Senior Software Engineer - EO - Munich/London (d/f/m)

Location: Munich or London (2 days per week in the office)

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our EO team at Personio. This is a role that sits in a senior, high-trust engineering team working on core platform capabilities that power large parts of the Personio product.

EO sits at the intersection of platform and customer-facing product. The systems built here are used by many other teams across Personio and directly impact how admins manage company structures, permissions, and employment-related data.

This role is primarily back-end focused, with a strong preference for engineers who are comfortable contributing to front-end work when needed (React). You don’t need to be a classic full-stack engineer, but you should be happy operating across the stack where it makes sense.

What You’ll Be Working On

Over the next 6–12 months, the team will spend most of its time on new customer-facing feature development, with the remaining time focused on modernising and improving existing foundations.

What you’ll work on

You’ll contribute to a set of initiatives centred on:

• Evolving core platform capabilities that power how organisations are represented and managed in Personio (data models, APIs, and workflows)

• Building secure, scalable backend services that support complex permissioning, delegation, and governance needs

• Improving foundations and system quality (performance, observability, robustness, tech-debt reduction, and operational excellence)

• Designing for change at scale, including backward-compatible migrations, versioning strategies, and safe rollout patterns

• Cross-team collaboration with multiple product and platform teams to ensure changes integrate cleanly and scale safely across the ecosystem

   

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and evolve scalable backend systems that are used across Personio

• Work in ambiguous problem spaces, proactively identifying missing information and dependencies

• Balance product thinking with technical excellence, shaping solutions rather than just executing tickets

• Collaborate closely with Product and Design, while also managing a wide range of technical stakeholders

• Contribute to a senior-heavy team through code reviews, design discussions, and technical leadership

• Occasionally contribute to front-end work where it unblocks delivery or improves outcomes

   

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience as a backend engineer working on production systems

• Comfort operating in ambiguous environments with changing priorities

• A product-minded approach to engineering and problem solving

• Ability to communicate clearly with engineers, product managers, and teams across the organisation

• Experience with Java, Kotlin, or similar languages is helpful, but not essential

• Front-end experience (React) is a strong plus, but not a hard requirement

   

• AI Fluency: You have hands-on experience using AI to improve your workflow, and the sound judgment to know exactly when to rely on it and when to step in yourself.

Why Personio

Personio is an equal opportunities employer, committed to building an inclusive culture where everyone feels supported.

We value in-person collaboration while offering flexibility. This role requires 2 days per week in your contracted office location, with the remaining days flexible. You’ll also get 20 Flex Days per year to work remotely from other locations.

Our benefits include:

• Competitive salary, benefits, and pre-IPO equity

• 28 days paid holiday, plus additional days after 2 and 4 years

• One fully paid Impact Day per year

• Generous family leave, mental health support, and sabbatical options

• Regular team events, office snacks, drinks, and weekly catered lunches
