WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Here's what you can expect on a typical day:

  • Build Products. You will use your technical expertise to review your team's work and help your people excel in an Agile environment. You're proactive and hands-on. When you see a potential issue, you never leave things hanging and unfinished. When you and your team deliver a finished product, it's as polished as you could make it.
  • Variety of work. There is no typical day. You could be checking in with a team in India one minute, meeting with leadership to review initiatives for the coming quarter later and tomorrow handling a few ad hoc requests from your peers in other departments.
  • Influence and inspire confidence. You are comfortable presenting to senior leaders, product owners, and peers with a compelling voice that you demonstrate through executive presence, leading change, and creating clear executive-level communications on milestone achievements.
  • Experience. You have 8-10 years of experience in relevant skills gained and developed in the same or similar role.
  • Optimize Platform Performance. Design and implement scalable solutions that ensure high availability and performance across our platform. You'll identify bottlenecks and proactively address issues before they impact our users.
  • Incident Management. Lead incident response efforts, troubleshoot production issues, and ensure minimal downtime. You'll perform root cause analysis and implement long-term fixes to prevent future occurrences.
  • Monitoring & Metrics. Design, implement, and maintain robust monitoring and alerting systems. You'll ensure the health of our services through proactive monitoring, real-time analytics, and performance tuning.
  • Collaboration. Work closely with software engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders to ensure new features are reliable, scalable, and deliver a great user experience. You'll bridge the gap between development and operations, fostering a culture of reliability.
  • Continuous Improvement. Champion best practices in Java and DevOps within the team. You'll continuously seek opportunities to improve our processes, tools, and technologies.

TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE:

  • You'll have a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent.
  • 8-10 years of experience with Java and SQL
  • Experience working in AWS or another Cloud Platform
  • Have a firm grasp on Spring Boot, Javascript, Angular and/or React
  • Experience with troubleshooting RESTful APIs

YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN:

  • Have courageous team collaboration. Courage comes from how associates are willing to have difficult conversations, speak up, be an owner, and challenge one another's ideas to find the best solution.
  • Deliver at epic scale. We deliver real user outcomes using strong judgment and good instincts. We're obsessed with the art of achieving simplicity with a focus on client happiness and productivity.
  • Be surrounded by curious learners. We align ourselves with other smart people in an environment where we grow and elevate one another to the next level. We encourage our associates to listen, stay agile, and learn from mistakes.
  • Act like an owner & doer. Mission-driven and committed to leading change, you will be encouraged to take on any challenge and solve complex problems. No tasks are beneath or too great for us. We are hands-on and willing to master our craft.
  • Give back to others. Always do the right thing for our clients and our community and humbly give back to the community where we live and work. Support our associates in times of need through ADP's Philanthropic Foundation.
  • Join a company committed to equality and equity. Our goal is to impact lasting change through our actions.
