Lead Frontend Engineer - Analytics

The Role: How you'll make an impact at Personio
This is a hybrid position with time split between office-based and remote working from our Dublin office.
At Personio, we value the flexibility that our hybrid set-up offers, but equally value in-person time to drive connection, community and collaboration.
At Personio, your work transforms the way millions of people experience work every day. Join our Product & Technology team, where we drive customer outcomes by designing, developing, and delivering innovative, high-quality products. Be empowered to take ownership of your areas and make a real impact on your team, our product, and our customers.
As a Lead Engineer, you will elevate the teams you work with by improving the quality of their technical solutions, operational excellence, and overall ability to deliver fast, impactful results. All Lead Engineers at Personio are hands-on coders who thrive in high-output environments and want to make a real impact. You'll be working on a mix of improving existing features and building exciting new ones that our customers will love. Depending on the stage of the product, you'll either be coding or solving complex problems that pave the way for future development. When you're not coding, you'll be focused on simplifying and enhancing the customer experience. We're all about creating exceptional products and delivering outstanding customer satisfaction!
In your first interview, we can explore the challenges you've faced and find the most exciting opportunities for you at Personio.
