  • 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 individual contributor role, you will work alongside a team of friendly, passionate, and creative Product Managers and Developers to bring our products to market. You will define the functionality of applications for ADP's Next-Generation Cloud-Based Human Resources platform and work on a product designed by people who generate value in the things they build. Our platform uses microservice technology, allowing developers to quickly make changes without breaking anything or starting from the beginning.

We're looking for someone who excels when no two days are the same. Integrity, resilience, and pushing the boundaries are must-haves in this job. Whether you're in meetings with clients or sales, developers, or design, you'll be the guiding voice that helps us clarify ideas so we can create a product roadmap.

As the team Engineering Project Lead, you'll communicate and collaborate with your team and cross-functionally, acting as the technical reference.

To thrive in this role, you will need to have a thorough understanding of the technical aspect of our work and work well autonomously. You must take command of your product, lead multiple team's efforts, and be a deep listener who can ask the right clarifying questions to help understand the problem your team is trying to solve. You'll work closely with Agile teams of talented developers, where you will leverage your years of experience to deliver sophisticated and detailed design requirements to the engineering team. You understand product delivery cycles. You have experience explaining the prioritization of a product roadmap, creating that roadmap, and documenting in a way that both external and internal teams will understand. You have held roles where you regularly communicate and defend ideas to a broad audience of stakeholders. Our best Engineering Project Managers are domain experts and enthusiastic creators who stay current on the latest trends. We move fast, and our pace should not scare you. But the rewards are great, too. As part of our team, your voice will influence product success and help shape our industry. You'll need versatile knowledge of coding languages, including front-end, scripting, and back-ends like Java, Javascript, .net, Angular, JS frameworks, or others.

WHAT YOU'LL DO :

Here's what you can expect on a typical day :

  • You will bring clarity of vision and forward-thinking product ideas to get our engineering teams excited.
  • You'll start each day with a scrum, working in a team of 3-5 developers, a program manager, and yourself. Your primary focus is to understand developer issues and turn those issues into a set of requirements. You will have an active part in shaping the product. Our agile team uses Jira for agile tracking and ceremonies and works in two-week sprint cycles.
  • Problem Solving. Your problem-solving skills are essential in this role. You will identify problems, find and present solution sets, and then translate solutions into requirements for the engineering team to execute. Your ability to design roadmaps and create requirement documents in Powerpoint / Google Slides are crucial to your team's success.
  • You'll create strong alliances with diverse stakeholders and ensure everyone is in this together and communicates most appropriately. You'll collaborate with other product managers since much of what we solve cuts across functions within the platform. You understand the overall priority of work and how to achieve goals to make everyone successful.
  • Inevitable challenges will arise, and we'll rely on you to look for a solution. You love a challenge and revel in the opportunity of finding one.
  • You must know how to communicate with engineers and other technologists giving them confidence you understand their challenges. Our best product managers can translate easily between technical and non-technical teams, so both parties are clearly understood. As an example, you'll be responsible for translating user-specific issues for the development team.
  • You have 12 years of experience in relevant skills gained and developed in the same or similar role.
  • TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE :

  • You'll have a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent.
  • Prior hands-on Engineering experience includes :
  • Proficiency in Java / JEE technologies, jQuery, JSON, Angular, Mulesoft, Kafka

  • Hands-on experience with Springboot and Spring integrations
  • RDBMS and NoSQL databases such as Mongo or DynamoDB
  • GIT, Jenkins, Ansible, Public Cloud (AWS or Azure)
  • 3-5 years of Technical Project Management or Software Engineering Management experience
  • YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN :

  • 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-on and willing to master our craft.'
  • Give back to others. Always do the right thing for our clients and our community and humbly give back to the community where we live and work. Support our associates in times of need through ADP's Philanthropic Foundation.
  • Join a company committed to equality and equity. Our goal is to impact lasting change through our actions.
