In 2026, the focus shifts to experience and scale.
Today: 50,000 employees paid via Personio Payroll
End of 2026 target: 100,000+ employees
This means we increase our focus on customer satisfaction and quality. The system needs to evolve to handle larger customers, higher volume of employees while staying compliant and reliable.

A pragmatic approach to compliance: risk-aware, but focused on building great user experiences
Strong sense of ownership and accountability for quality
Clear communication and collaboration 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 payroll, fintech, or other regulated domains
German language skills (helpful for understanding documents, but not required)
Full stack experience (frontend is not required, but helpful)
Strong engineering culture with high standards for quality
