Job description

ADP is hiring a Sr. Lead Platform Engineer.

In this role, you will architect and manage the strategy, technology, and governance of ADP's cloud-based Identity & Access Management (IDAM) platform. This role will significantly influence user access, application security, and data privacy. You will work across teams overseeing the design and implementation of our IDAM systems to ensure we have a modern, world-class user experience and security.

You will test your leadership skills as you set direction and produce reference architectures for developers to follow. You will be involved in single‑sign‑on, passwordless authentication, multi‑factor and adaptive authentication working with technologies such as OpenID Connect, SAML, SCIM, OAuth, and PKI. Your influence on ADP's security posture will be crucial as you work closely with our Global Security organization to ensure the development and deployment of proper controls, mitigate risks, and keep fraud in check.

To thrive in this role, you must navigate challenging problems calmly under pressure and evangelize IDAM features across our product portfolio. You will mentor developers, lead innovation, study industry trends, and become our resident expert on IDAM. Versatile knowledge of coding languages, including front‑end, scripting, and back‑ends like Java, JavaScript, React, MySQL, AWS, or other cloud platforms is required.

• Coding: Design, code, and support solutions. Review developers’ code, refine it, and jump in to code critical areas yourself.
• Learning: Stay up to date with rapid changes in cyber‑security. Lead the team through new challenges and develop fixes when issues arise.
• Challenges: Scale solutions to serve over 20 million active monthly users across diverse products and environments.
• Client Implementation & Service Support: Support the client implementation team with IDAM implementation for new clients and the client service team for IDAM issues reported by clients.
• Variety of work: Design, mentor team members, and work on projects for quality assurance, security, UX, or other functions as needed.
• Experience: 12+ years of experience in relevant skills in a similar role.

• Hands‑on experience with Spring Boot and Spring integrations.
• Experience with RDBMS and NoSQL databases such as MySQL, Mongo, or DynamoDB.
• Familiarity with GIT, Jenkins, Ansible, and Public Cloud (AWS or Azure).

YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN

• Practice courageous team collaboration and influence solutions through challenging conversations.
• Deliver outcomes at epic scale focused on client happiness and productivity.
• Be surrounded by curious learners and allow each other to grow in an agile environment.
• Act like an owner and doer, taking on any challenge and solving complex problems.
