Job description

Principal Application Developer

ADP is hiring a Principal Application Developer. Are you empathetic to client needs and inspired by transformation and impacting the lives of millions of people every day? Are you looking to join a dynamic, inclusive team environment with a culture of collaboration and belonging? This may be the role for you.

What You’ll Do

• You’ll start each day with a scrum, working in a team to understand responsibilities, identify issues, and communicate coding priorities while choosing user stories to complete. You will also participate in other agile ceremonies, including scheduled sprint demos, where you will present your work to up to 90 stakeholders.
• Build teams that thrive. As an experienced leader, you want everyone to shine. You’ll start each day by checking in with your engineering team to identify priorities and challenges, finding ways to make the team's day go smoother, and consistently sharing knowledge, motivating others, and keeping everyone engaged.
• Build products. Use your technical expertise to review your team’s work and help your people excel in an Agile environment. You’re proactive and hands‑on. When you see a potential issue, you never leave things hanging and unfinished. When you and your team deliver a finished product, it’s as polished as you could make it.
• Variety of work. There is no typical day. You could be checking in with a team in India one minute, meeting with leadership to review initiatives for the coming quarter later, and tomorrow handling a few ad‑hoc requests from your peers in other departments.
• Influence and inspire confidence. You are comfortable presenting to senior leaders, product owners, and peers with a compelling voice that you demonstrate through executive presence, leading change, and creating clear executive‑level communications on milestone achievements.

To Succeed in This Role

• You have a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
• You have 12+ years of relevant experience gained and developed in the same or a similar role.

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 find the best solution.
• Deliver at epic scale. We deliver real user outcomes using strong judgment and good instincts, obsessing over 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, encouraging associates to listen, stay agile, and learn from mistakes.
• Act like an owner and doer. Mission‑driven and committed to leading change, you will be encouraged to tackle 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 return 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.

Compensation and Benefits

Base salary for this position may vary based on location, skills, and relevant experience. Some positions may include additional compensation in the form of bonus, equity, or commissions. Benefits offered include Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Matched Retirement Savings, Wellness Program, Short‑ and Long‑Term Disability, Charitable Contribution Match, Holidays, Personal Days & Vacation, Paid Volunteer Time Off, and more. Compensation for this role is $102,100.00 – $273,150.00 per year.
