About the role

ADP is hiring a Senior Lead Application 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?

In this role, you will work within a 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. You will work with clients, product managers, architects, software engineers, and more to plan, design, develop, test, and implement impactful solutions that support companies with one to millions of employees.

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 excel in this dynamic development role, you'll need deep expertise in Java and comprehensive knowledge of the Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring JPA), paired with strong frontend skills in JavaScript, TypeScript, Web Components, Micro Frontends (MFEs), Stencil JS, and modern frameworks like Angular or React. Your database proficiency should span both DynamoDB and Oracle, while you maintain a solid understanding of web services, RESTful APIs, and distributed systems using Apache Kafka. Mastery of AWS services is essential—including SQS for messaging, EKS for container orchestration, DynamoDB for NoSQL data management, and S3 for scalable storage solutions. Given our agile sprint methodology, you'll seamlessly transition between frontend-intensive iterations focused on user experience, backend-heavy sprints emphasizing system architecture, or full-stack deliverables that bridge both domains. As one of our top-tier developers, you embody the spirit of innovation and continuous learning, eagerly embracing challenging assignments that push technical boundaries. Your passion for emerging technologies drives you to constantly evaluate and integrate new tools and methodologies, transforming cutting-edge concepts into robust, production-ready solutions that enhance our product offerings.

As a Senior 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.
