HR and Admin Intern

About us

More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.
