Challenge
We’re looking for a PL/SQL Software Engineer to help develop new features and modernize existing capabilities across a large-scale HRIS SaaS platform.
You’ll be working with complex business rules, distributed teams, and a robust Oracle database architecture — ensuring high performance, correctness, and scalability. This role requires strong PL/SQL expertise, a shift-left mindset, and daily use of AI-assisted development tools.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain new features across HRIS modules (Payroll, Benefits, Time & Attendance, CoreHR).
- Modernize existing features in a multi-tenant cloud SaaS environment.
- Write high-performance Oracle PL/SQL code, following best practices for maintainability and scalability.
- Optimize SQL queries, stored procedures, and data operations for large datasets and high transaction volumes.
- Take ownership of validating your work through shift-left testing—including unit, integration, and regression tests.
- Leverage AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, etc.) to speed up development, refactoring, and documentation.
- Collaborate with a distributed, agile engineering team across multiple time zones.
- Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Mandatory Skills
- Strong hands-on experience with Oracle PL/SQL.
- Solid understanding of Oracle RDBMS, including performance tuning, indexing strategies, triggers, and execution plans.
- Experience working in SaaS or transactional systems with complex business logic.
- Ability to design efficient data structures, functions, and stored procedures.
- Familiarity with shift-left development: writing tests, validating logic, ensuring correctness.
- Experience using AI development tools to accelerate coding and improve code quality.
- Strong communication skills in English (written and verbal).
- Experience collaborating within distributed, agile teams.
Nice to Have
- Experience with the HR industry.
- Exposure to modernization or legacy-to-cloud transformation projects.
- Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks.
Team & Environment
- Collaborative, distributed agile team working across engineering, QA, and product.
- Strong focus on high-quality code, correctness, and performance.
- Emphasis on ownership: engineers validate and test their own work.
- Balanced workload of new feature development and modernization of existing systems.
