Senior Developer

**ADP is hiring a Senior Developer.**
- 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?
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. Every three weeks, you will be involved in the release activities.
To thrive in this development career, you'll need to be an expert in Java (Java 8 preferred) and have a firm grasp on Spring Boot, Javascript, Angular and/or React. You'll need to be familiar with web services, RESTful APIs, and open source tools such as Apache KAFKA. Each sprint cycle could have a heavy frontend focus, a heavy back-end focus, or a mix of both, so you'll need experience working with front-end, scripting, and back-end technologies. Like our best developers, you are 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 Developer, 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 developers. In the senior 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.
Let's design what's next.
**A little about ADP**:
**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.
- **Build teams that thrive**. As an experienced leader, you want everyone to shine. You'll start each day by checking in with your engineering team to identify priorities and challenges. You'll find a way to make the team's day go smoother. You are constantly looking for ways to share your knowledge, motivate others and keep everyone engaged and productive.
- **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 8-12 years of experience in relevant skills gained and developed in the same or similar role.

- You'll have a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent.
Qualifications:
- Experience with Java development focused on microservices and cloud implementations
- Good knowledge of DevOps processes using recent technologies like Docker, Jenkins, Ansible, etc
- Experience with management tools such as Jira, CI tools such as Jenkins and version control such as GIT
- Ability to communicate effectively and work in English
- Produces good documentation from own development and researches
**YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN**:
- **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 net out 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 leve
