The Role: How you'll make an impact at Personio

This role requires 3 days per week in the office and is based in Berlin or Munich.

As a Collaboration Systems Engineer in our People, Workplace and IT department, you'll own and continuously improve the tools that keep Personio moving - with Atlassian Cloud (Jira, Confluence, JSM Assets) as your core platform, and broader responsibility for how our collaboration stack fits together. We're looking for someone comfortable with complex, large-scale configurations who can also see across the tooling landscape, leverage AI automation where it adds real value, and work closely with Engineering, IT, and People teams to deliver high-impact workflows and self-service capabilities used across the company.


Role Responsibilities: What you'll do

  • Own the Atlassian Cloud platform across Jira, Confluence, and JSM Assets - keeping environments performant, well-configured, and built around how teams actually work.
    Manage and improve our broader collaboration tooling stack     (e.g. Slack, Google Workspace, or similar), ensuring tools are well-integrated and adopted effectively across the business.

  • Collaborate across all Personio departments to navigate trade-offs, influence without formal authority, and deliver practical solutions quickly.

  • Build and maintain API integrations between Atlassian Cloud and internal/external systems using REST APIs and modern authentication.

  • Create and support AI-assisted automations, including Rovo Agents, that reduce manual work and improve how teams access information and get things done.

  • Own and optimize Jira Service Management Assets (CMDB): schemas, automation, data sync, and integrations with external sources.

  • Implement workflows and automation (rules, webhooks, event-driven operations) using Forge and Atlassian APIs.

  • Evaluate and onboard new collaboration tooling as business needs evolve, driving governance, adoption, and integration with existing systems.

Role Requirements: What you need to succeed

  • 2–4+ years of experience administering and extending Atlassian Cloud environments.

  • Experience with other collaboration and workplace platforms (e.g. Slack, Google Workspace, or similar) - including administration, workflow automation, and integration with other systems.

  • Expertise in Atlassian Forge, JavaScript/TypeScript, and cloud app development.

  • Solid understanding of Jira Service Management Assets (CMDB), including schema design, automation, and data flows.

  • Deep knowledge of Atlassian Cloud REST APIs, webhooks, and integration patterns.

  • Experience in creating and supporting AI-assisted automation experiences, including Rovo AI Agents.

  • Experience creating advanced automation using Jira Automation, Forge triggers, and/or scripting.

  • Strong collaboration skills with the ability to translate business needs into scalable tooling solutions.
