[Hiring] Low-Code Engineer @Plata Card

Role Description

We are looking for an HR Automation Specialist to join our HR Automation team. The HR Automation team is the engine that powers our employee experience by creating scalable, innovative systems that free our people to focus on what they do best. We build smart tools and automated workflows that help our HR & People Operations teams work faster, smarter, and more effectively.

As an HR Automation Specialist, you’ll play a dual role: part engineer, part innovator. You’ll design and implement tools and workflows that enhance HR processes while also helping shape the team’s automation roadmap. This is an opportunity to bring ideas to life, propose your own solutions, and see them make a real impact in a fast-moving fintech environment.

Challenges that await you:

• Design and deploy automation solutions across the full employee lifecycle: recruiting → onboarding → development → offboarding
• Utilize Low-Code / No-Code platforms to rapidly build workflows, trigger automations, and enable business users
• Model and maintain HR databases and schemas — ensuring scalable, consistent, and reliable database structures to support automations and data flows
• Write custom logic and scripts in JavaScript for integrations, data transformation, API calls, and workflow automation
• Integrate HR systems, internal tools — via REST APIs, webhooks, JSON, OAuth and other common patterns
• Work with Airtable (or similar) to structure HR data, build custom views/dashboards, trigger automations, and support self-service tools
• Monitor and optimise existing automations: track metrics, identify bottlenecks, iterate on solutions, and build efficient systems
• Partner with HR, IT, and stakeholders to translate people-operations problems into technical workflows — you’re the “bridge” between business and automation
• Influence the direction — bring your ideas, experiment with new tools, propose how we can automate more and do better. You’ll be encouraged to pick up improvements, prototype them, and own them
• Document what you build, train others on it, hand over solutions to the team, and create a legacy of reusable automation and best practices

Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in database modeling: designing relational or semi-structured data models
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript: you write clean, maintainable, testable scripts and know asynchronous patterns, modules, etc.
• Experience building automation using Low-Code/No-Code tools (Make, n8n, Zapier, Power Automate, Retool, Bubble, etc.): you know how to think in workflows, triggers, actions rather than only in code
• Familiarity with Airtable or equivalent platform (data modelling, automations, scripting in Airtable is a plus)
• Solid understanding of APIs, REST, webhooks, JSON, OAuth and the patterns involved in integrating systems
• Ability to take a business/HR process (often manual) and translate it into an automated workflow: you map it, you break it down, you implement it
• Analytic mindset, attention to detail: you measure, you optimise, you iterate
• Excellent communication and collaboration: you’ll work with non-technical HR people and technical IT folks, so you need to bridge both worlds
• Self-starter attitude: you thrive in an environment where you’re given autonomy, expected to think, propose, act and deliver
• B1 or higher English level for effective communication with an international team

Requirements

• Past experience in HR-tech, HRIS systems, or in a fintech or dynamic startup environment
• Exposure to other programming languages (Node.js, Python) or data visualisation (SuperSet, Power BI, Tableau, Looker)
• Knowledge of SQL or cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and RPA, for example UIpath
• Awareness of data-privacy, compliance (GDPR), security practices especially as they relate to HR data
• Being comfortable with ambiguity — building new systems means sometimes inventing what “good” looks like

Benefits

• Relocation support to one of our hubs — Cyprus, Georgia, Serbia or Kazakhstan — with assistance for the employee and their family
• Flexible work from one of our offices or remote
• Healthcare Coverage
• Education Budget: Language lessons, professional training and certifications
• Wellness Budget: Mental health and fitness activity reimbursements
• Vacation policy: 20 days of annual leave and paid sick leave
