Lead Developer

**ADP is hiring a Lead Developer - WFN Team**
- _Are you empathic to client needs and working collaboratively to find the best solutions, even if they are not yours?_
- _Are you inspired by transformation and making an impact on the lives of millions of people every day?_
Well, this may be the role for you. Ready to design what's next?
In this role, you will collaborate with a team of software engineers to create microservice features for WFN by ADP's Human Capital Management software platform. You will write code, test code, write automated test cases and ensure timely and accurate delivery of products. No two days are alike. You will work alongside a team of intelligent and creative engineers to complete sprints identified during scrum meetings. You'll collaborate with product owners to see their vision, and then you'll spend your days building out that vision in new features and upgrades to our products.
To thrive in this role, you need experience developing software for clients at scale. You have exposure to a wide range of software development tools and can articulate your deep involvement in seeing a project through from start to finish. Expert-level experience with Node.js or GoLang is also helpful. Most of all, you need a problem-solving, teaching mindset. Our best engineers are creative thinkers, continually seeking new ways to help our customers work smarter, not harder. And when you do something well, you share it with others so they can learn.
**Availability to work in a hybrid work model, reporting directly to our Porto Alegre Office location**
**Responsibilities**
- Deliver highly automated, intelligent and predictive solutions for our client offerings
- Responsible for building out the core frameworks of the metadata-driven platform being developed in-house, including building out the source control
- Deliver innovative solutions to drive next generation user experiences, designs and technologies
- Responsible for ensuring the successful transition to a Service Oriented Architecture framework with the help of containers

**WHAT YOU'LL DO**:
**Here's what you can expect on a typical day**:
- You'll start every day with a daily standup, working with your team to understand responsibilities, identify issues, and communicate coding priorities. Our software engineers make critical design decisions and collaborate with team members in the process.
- Working in two-week sprints, you must keep up with deadlines and coding standards. Tools are mostly Node.Js and Java, but may include GoLang, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon SQS, Amazon Neptune, and others.
- **Variety of work.**There is no typical day. You could be solving tough problems such as fault tolerance, reliability, scalability, availability, throttling, queueing, and more, then working with teams in other locations one minute, meeting with leadership to review initiatives the next.
- You're always learning new technologies and processes with tools such as Udemy and other training courses, conferences, and operating with a "learn as you go" approach with a willingness to figure out new ways of doing things. If you're truly stuck on something, you can collaborate with a teammate to get it resolved quickly.
- You're comfortable working on products with tech we haven't used before. Inevitable challenges will arise, and we'll rely on you to look for a solution.
- You have 8-12 years of experience in relevant skills gained and developed in the same or similar role.
**TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE**:
Prior experience that would give you extra comfort in the role includes:
- **Java**:
- RDBMS and NoSQL databases such as Mongo or DynamoDB
- Knowledge of techniques to build fault tolerant and resilient connectivity logic with stateful services suar as rate limiting, circuit breakers, retry patterns, exponential back off
- Ability to effectively communicate with engineers, grasp nonfunctional requiremens, and set expectations
- You'll have a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent.
**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 get to 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
