WHAT YOU'LL DO:

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

• Blueprints and Strategy. You will influence and govern current and future architectural blueprints and promote architectural initiatives that generate revenue, improve efficiency, and support our business strategy. You will ensure that what we do solves both enterprise and local needs.
• You'll start every day with a scrum, working together to understand responsibilities, identify issues, and communicate design and coding priorities.
• Your chief role is to design, but coding is sometimes required. Once you create your design, you will guide developers to bring it to life using tools like Java, Angular, .net, or others. You will review their code, refine it if necessary, and jump in and code critical areas yourself.
• 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.
• Learning and Teaching. You're the technical expert on the team, so when issues arise, you'll be the one developing a fix. When you present a design, you are open to feedback from your engineer team since you believe collaboration helps strengthen your ideas, especially if someone thought of something you hadn't considered. After all, we all have the same goal, develop the best solutions we can for our clients.
• Variety of work. There is no typical day. Some days you will dedicate to design or mentoring team members, while others you will spend on projects for quality assurance, security, UX, or any number of other functions.
• You have 10+ 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.

• Strong proficiency in Swift for iOS or Kotlin /Java for Android development.
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs, third-party libraries, and integration with backend systems.

• Experience with version control systems like Git and collaborative development tools.
• Hands-on experience in GraphQL queries, mutations, subscriptions, schema design, and client-side integration (Apollo Client or Relay)
• Experience in building, and operating applications in the Cloud (S3, AWS App Sync, etc..)
• Analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for detail.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively within a team.
• Experience with cross-platform development tools such as React Native or Flutter.
• Knowledge of cloud services (e.g., Firebase, AWS) and their integration with mobile apps.
• Background in agile development methodologies and experience with project management tools (e.g., Jira, Trello).\
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks.

• AI/ML FOUNDATIONAL PROFICIENCIES:

• AI/LLM Exposure. Familiar with major AI platforms (OpenAI, Anthropic, others) and ability to leverage to enhance products and features.
• AI-Assisted Dev Tools. Proficient with coding tools (ChatGPT, Claude, CoPilot, Amazon Q, Cursor, etc).
• AI Best Practices. Effective prompt engineering, performance optimization, and secure data handling.

YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN:

• Have courageous 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 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.
