From the original posting

Coder is growing from about 220 to 500 people by the end of 2027, and our People team is growing with us. We work in pods (GTM, R&D, G&A), each with its own HRBP and Generalist, so leaders always know who to call.

You'll be the HR partner for our R&D leaders, and the international employment expert for the UK, our Employer of Record (EOR) countries, and APAC. This is a foundational hire for our London entity buildout, and you'll work alongside a London-based Generalist and outside UK counsel.

What you'll do

Partner with R&D leaders on performance, org design, employee relations, and people strategy, and flag risks early
Advise on international ER and org changes under local law, and know when to bring in outside counsel for high-risk matters such as redundancy and terminations
Help build our UK employment infrastructure with Legal and Finance: contracts, probation and notice terms, right to work, statutory leave, policies, and benefits
Manage our EOR relationships (Deel, Rippling) and plan the path from EOR to direct employment in key markets
Track regulatory changes in the UK and our active EOR countries, including the Employment Rights Act changes, and proactively flag risks
Own performance, compensation cycles, promotions, and leveling for the pod with the HR Manager and Total Rewards
Build repeatable country playbooks so each new market doesn't start from scratch
Keep international employee data accurate in Rippling and Deel, and support audits and reporting

What we're looking for

Located in the Austin metro area or Eastern time zone
5+ years of HRBP experience, including employee relations, with meaningful UK and/or international exposure
Strong working knowledge of UK employment law, and familiarity with EOR models and their limitations
Hands-on experience with Rippling and/or Deel
Comfort working independently across time zones, with early UK-hours overlap and occasional UK travel
Detail-oriented enough to catch a contract or comp error before it ships, and strategic enough to know when to escalate
Extremely collaborative, working closely with a US- and London-based team

Bonus tacos if you have

(Tacos? Ask us how we say thanks by giving tacos!)

Preferred: SHRM-SCP, SPHR, or equivalent hands-on HR experience
Experience supporting a company through a legal entity launch
Exposure to APAC or EMEA employment law beyond the UK
Experience partnering with engineering or R&D teams in a high-growth SaaS company

As our international footprint grows, this role is expected to grow in scope and strategic ownership.
