Job Description
+ Are you empathetic to client needs and inspired by transformation and impacting the lives of millions of people every day?
+ Are you looking to join a dynamic, inclusive team environment with a culture of collaboration and belonging?
**_Well, this may be the role for you. Ready to design what's next?_**
In this role, you will work within a WFS scrum team to bring the designs and ideas to life for new or improved web applications. This work will support a mix of internal and external clients, and you will be working on projects currently in production.
You will start your day on a scrum call to prioritize and track work. Within the team you work on, you will choose user stories to work within a sprint cycle. You will spend most of your day developing and testing your code but also reviewing colleagues code and supporting release activities.
As our environment continues to evolve, this role is ideal for someone with a mobile-first mindset, particularly with experience in React Native or a strong interest in mobile-first development. Our progression is centered around the implementation of microservices, so familiarity with Kubernetes, Quarkus, and the latest versions of Java will be highly advantageous. You'll also be actively involved in reviewing pull requests, so experience with Git and Jira will serve you well in our collaborative, fast-paced development process. You'll be a champion for secure development processes, taking feedback from various tools and ensuring any vulnerabilities are addressed early in our development lifecycle.
Like our best Engineers, you are an excellent communicator and an enthusiastic creator eager to learn and take on stretch assignments. You strive to learn new technologies and find ways to incorporate what you learn into building your products.
As a Lead Engineer, you will work closely with your team to lead and guide projects to success. You'll have a hands-on role designing, developing, debugging, and deploying software solutions where you can leverage your expertise with code complexities. You'll also serve as a mentor to the junior Engineers. In the lead role, you will balance the assigning of user stories through prioritization and consideration of the technical interests of each developer on the team. As part of our team, you'll find exciting challenges, get opportunities to grow your career, and develop solid friendships as we design what's next for ADP and the industry. Pace should not scare you. We still find time for a healthy dose of fun.
**_Like what you see? Apply now!_**
**_Learn more about ADP at jobs.adp.com_**
**_WHAT YOU'LL DO:_**
**_Here's what you can expect on a typical day:_**
● **_Agile._** You'll start each day with a scrum, working in a team to understand responsibilities, identify issues, and communicate coding priorities while choosing user stories to complete. You will also participate in other agile ceremonies, including scheduled sprint demos, where you will present your work to up to 90 stakeholders.
● **_Development._** Working in three-week sprints, you must keep up with timelines and coding standards. Most of your daily schedule will be software development, but you will also test your code before submitting it to QA for final testing. You won't just focus on development in this role. You will also be responsible for testing and deployment.
● **_Continuous Learning._** You will attend "lunch and learn" sessions to actively collaborate with other developers to share ideas or show what you've learned. An eagerness to learn will help you keep up with ever-changing technologies and maintain the ability to create the best tools for our clients.
● **_Support._** You're working on products currently in use. Those who report to you will act as a point of contact for one day/week, supporting your clients for any urgent issues requiring resolution. You may also have this responsibility. If so, you'll start those days with your regular work activity but will have to switch gears to a support role as needed throughout your assigned support day.
● **_Experience._** You have 7+ years of experience in software development and experience mentoring and managing teams.
**_Associates that are located near an ADP or WorkForce office, would be expected to follow the ADP hybrid work model._**
**_TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE:_**
+ You'll have a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent.
**_YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN:_**
+ **_Be yourself_** in a culture that values equity, inclusion, and belonging and creates a safe space for diverse perspectives and insights.
+ **_Belong by joining_** one of our Business Resource Groups where you can connect globally with networks and allies who share common interests and experiences.
+ **_Grow your career_** in an agile, dynamic environment with plenty of opportunities to progress.
+ **_Continuously learn_** through ongoing training, development, and mentorship opportunities.
+ **_Be your healthiest._** Best-in-class benefits start on Day 1 because healthy associates are happy ones.
+ **_Focus on your mental health and well-being._** We're here to provide exceptional service to our clients, and none of that happens without each of us taking care of ourselves and being there for one another.
+ **_Join a company committed to giving back_** and generating a lasting, positive impact upon the communities in which we work and live.
+ **_Get paid to pay it forward._** Company-paid time off for volunteering for causes you care about.
**_What are you waiting for? Apply today!_**
