Bra Labs Manager Product Development

**ADP is hiring an Engineer Manager.**
- Are you inspired by transformation and making an impact on the lives of millions of people every day, even when it's messy?_
- Are you empathic to client needs, the people you lead, and internal partners to drive success but can make the hard calls and are not afraid to make bold moves?_
- Are you a technologist first and foremost who approaches every problem wearing that hat while going out of your way to champion creativity and build diverse, productive, and engaged teams?_
Well, this may be the role for you. Ready to design what's next?
In this role, you will lead a team of software engineers who build and maintain microservices and features within Lifion by ADP's human capital management platform to help our customers save time, stay compliant, and manage their workforce. No two days are alike. You will spend your time checking in with your team, stateside or abroad. You will facilitate the team's work through coaching and guidance and provide leadership with realistic expectations and deadlines. You will be the final set of eyes to review code for quarterly initiatives and manage ad-hoc requests as they arise. You'll be accountable for something significant: the uncompromising quality of products that impact people's lives.
To thrive in this role, you'll need a solid understanding of software development at scale, including knowledge of functional programming, JavaScript, cloud services, relational databases, Elasticsearch, Redis, DynamoDB, Aurora, Kinesis, SQS, and microservice architectures.

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.
