The Role: Lead Frontend Engineer - Time & Money Domain (London)We're looking for a Lead Frontend Engineer to join our growing Time & Money domain, based out of our London office.

It's about making complex workflows feel easy, even joyful, for our users.
You'll be joining a domain of over 60 engineers and contribute directly to a high-impact, high-growth area critical to Personio's international ambitions. From flexible work schedules to compliance-heavy regulations across borders - you'll be solving problems that actually matter .
What You'll Do
- Lead the Frontend Vision - Own frontend architecture for your team's time-related features. Set the standards, drive consistency, and champion modern best practices.
- Code Like a Pro - Write high-quality, maintainable code using TypeScript, React, and Redux. We're also open to Angular if your fundamentals are solid and you pass our coding tests.
- Mentor & Collaborate - Guide mid-level engineers, collaborate closely with backend devs, and work hand-in-hand with design and product to build seamless experiences.
- Solve for Scale - Design and implement performant UIs that can handle complexity without compromising usability.
- Drive Innovation - You're not just here to build what's asked - you'll help define what gets built.
What We're Looking For

- Strong command of TypeScript, React, Redux, and a real love for building intuitive user experiences.
- Experience in architecting large frontend systems, preferably in product-led SaaS environments.
- Confident working in cross-functional teams and contributing to product and UX decisions.
- Bonus points if you've worked in FinTech, HRTech, or other compliance-heavy product spaces.
Why Time & Money at Personio?
- Help shape one of the most important areas of Personio's platform.
- Tackle meaningful problems that support our move into the mid-market and help manage labour law complexity across Europe.
- Join a London-based team with a startup feel, but with the backing of one of Europe's fastest-growing tech companies.
The Perks Bit
- Competitive salary, pre-IPO equity, and benefits that actually benefit you.
- 28 days holiday (plus extra based on tenure), Impact Days to give back, and generous parental leave.

- A supportive, people-first culture with regular team socials and company-wide events.
