Permanent employee, Full-time · Remote
The Role
This role will be fully remote from one of the following countries: Spain, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands or UK.

At Personio we are on the amazing journey of becoming the leading HR Platform in Europe!

The Integrations Tribe connects Personio with partners and applications, to improve our customer's experience and to empower the usage of our core product. We achieve that by building integrations according to the respective and relevant scope of each integration and the importance to our customers.
Since integrations are bi-directional, the tribe not only deals with self-built integrations with partners, but is also responsible for the public API and a good external developer experience, paving the way for partners and interested parties to integrate with us. The market place we build then forms the new home for them, making it the new center for integrations with Personio.

Like all our tribes we are a cross-functional group of engineers, designers and product managers from many different nationalities and backgrounds, spread across different locations and we continue to grow in 2022. Join us and help shape the Integrations Tribe journey for Personio.
