Job description

Description

Spatial Front, Inc. (SFI), a two-time USA Today Top Workplaces awardee and Washington Top Workplaces honoree, is seeking a PeopleSoft Developer to support our growing team.

This role supports Federal Government HR modernization programs, primarily within on-premise PeopleSoft environments, with future considerations for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as the platform evolves. The successful candidate will be a self-sufficient developer capable of designing, building, troubleshooting, and documenting complex technical solutions, while collaborating effectively with functional teams, testers, leads, and fellow developers in a SAFe/Scaled Agile environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and support customizations, interfaces, reports, conversions, and extensions for PeopleSoft HCM using PeopleCode, Application Engine, Component Interface, Integration Broker, SQR, BI Publisher/XML Publisher, and SQL.
• Support PeopleSoft HCM modules such as Core HR, Benefits, Payroll, Time and Labor, Absence Management, Position Management, and Employee/Manager Self-Service, including enhancements, fixes, and production support.
• Perform root‑cause analysis and resolve defects, data issues, performance bottlenecks, and integration failures across online, batch, reporting, and interface processes.
• Coordinate closely with business analysts, functional SMEs, testers, DBAs, architects, release managers, and other developers to deliver high‑quality solutions and support testing and deployment activities.
• Support PUM image adoption, de‑customization efforts, PeopleTools upgrades, patching, retrofits, and environment synchronization activities across development, test, and production environments.
• Participate in SAFe/Scaled Agile ceremonies and use Azure DevOps (ADO) to track user stories, tasks, defects, sprint progress, dependencies, and delivery metrics.
• Develop and maintain technical design documentation, configuration documentation, migration instructions, and release support artifacts for development and maintenance activities.
• Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of hands‑on PeopleSoft development experience, including at least 3 years supporting PeopleSoft HCM in a Federal Government or similarly complex enterprise environment.
• Demonstrated expertise in the PeopleSoft technology stack, including PeopleTools, Application Designer, PeopleCode, Application Engine, Component Interface, Integration Broker, SQR, Process Scheduler, BI Publisher/XML Publisher, and SQL.
• Experience supporting and troubleshooting on‑prem PeopleSoft environments; understanding of OCI architecture and cloud migration considerations is highly desirable.
• Ability to work independently while coordinating effectively with developers, team leads, testers, analysts, and business stakeholders in a SAFe/Scaled Agile delivery environment.

Desired Skills

• Experience with PeopleSoft HCM modules, including Core HR, Payroll, Benefits, Time and Labor, Absence Management, Position Management, and related self‑service functionality.
• Strong knowledge of Oracle Database, preferably Oracle 19c, including SQL optimization, query tuning, and data troubleshooting; knowledge of Oracle APEX for supporting utilities or lightweight applications is a plus.
• Familiarity with PeopleSoft Integration Broker, web services, file‑based interfaces, batch processing, and related middleware/integration patterns.
• Experience with PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF), structured system/integration testing, and coordination with QA and UAT teams.
• Proficiency with Azure DevOps (ADO) for backlog tracking, user stories, sprint boards, defects, roadmaps, and reporting/metrics; this is valued from a delivery‑tracking perspective rather than DevSecOps.
• Experience with PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM), de‑customization, retrofits, migration/change control, and support for PeopleTools and HCM upgrades.
• Experience with operational/support tools such as PHIRE, Stonebranch, or similar enterprise scheduling, migration, or control tools is a plus.
• Experience supporting PeopleSoft implementations within the Army, DoD, or other Federal civilian/defense environments is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of PeopleSoft security, row‑level security, roles/permission lists, and support for secure production operations.
• Oracle PeopleSoft technical, PeopleTools, or HCM‑related certifications are a plus.
