The Opportunity:
CACI is seeking an HCM Custom Development Lead / Visual Builder Studio Developer to support a large-scale federal HCM modernization program. This initiative will implement Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM as the unified human capital management platform for federal civilian employees across the government across multiple federal agencies. In this role, you will lead a development team responsible for extending Oracle Fusion HCM through Oracle Visual Builder Studio (VBS), Oracle APEX, Application Composer, and Page Composer -- strictly adhering to the configuration-first principle that minimizes custom code while delivering the unique federal HR functionality required by the federal government. You will design custom page layouts, build extension applications consuming Oracle Fusion REST APIs, develop custom reports using BI Publisher, and manage sandbox environments for safe configuration development and testing. Your team will ensure all extensions remain upgrade-safe and compliant with Oracle's extensibility framework while meeting Section 508 accessibility standards and federal security requirements. This is a primarily remote position with up to 10% travel. This position is at the T4 (senior) level, suited for an experienced technical professional who operates with significant independence, resolves complex technical challenges using advanced techniques, and provides guidance and mentorship to less experienced team members.

Responsibilities:

• Lead a development team of senior, mid-level, and junior VBS developers in designing and building Oracle Fusion HCM extensions using Oracle Visual Builder Studio, APEX, Application Composer, and Page Composer

• Enforce the configuration-first principle across all development activities, ensuring custom code is pursued only when standard Oracle Fusion configuration cannot meet validated functional requirements

• Design and develop custom page layouts, embedded applications, and extension UIs within Oracle Fusion HCM using Visual Builder Studio with JavaScript, HTML5, and Oracle JET component libraries

• Build custom REST API integrations and consumption patterns for extension applications that interface with Oracle Fusion HCM business objects and external federal systems via the federal APIM gateway

• Develop custom reports and data extracts using Oracle BI Publisher, including agency-specific reporting templates, EHRI data submissions, and compliance reports with Section 508 accessible output formats

• Manage sandbox environments and personalization layers to enable safe parallel development, testing, and promotion of configurations and extensions across development, test, and production tenants

• Establish and maintain development standards, code review processes, and version control practices for all VBS and APEX extensions ensuring upgrade-safe, maintainable code

• Design and implement custom workflow extensions and approval routing for federal-specific HR business processes (PAR processing, classification actions, SES pay adjustments) that require logic beyond standard Oracle Fusion capabilities

• Collaborate with functional consultants to translate business requirements into technical designs, estimating development effort and identifying risks for custom development items within SAFe Agile sprint planning

• Conduct technical reviews and architecture assessments of proposed customizations, providing recommendations to the program's Architecture Review Board on build-vs-configure decisions

• Support production deployments and troubleshoot extension-related defects, providing L3 technical support during agency go-live and hypercare periods

• Operate with significant independence to analyze and resolve complex functional and technical issues, applying advanced techniques and serving as a go-to technical resource and mentor for less experienced team members across the program

• Lead small work efforts and technical initiatives within the assigned functional area, contributing to team strategy, conducting technical reviews of deliverables, and guiding junior consultants on Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM best practices and solution approaches

Qualifications:
Required: 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or related field

• 5+ years of experience in software development w
