Job Summary

Next Generation, Inc., an Equal Opportunity Employer, is seeking a seasoned Senior Oracle Payroll Integrations Developer to design, build, and maintain robust integrations across a payroll ecosystem. You’ll be responsible for payroll data flows, while ensuring data accuracy, compliance, and performance. The ideal candidate is very well-versed in Oracle Payroll’s data model (including the underlying payroll tables/schemas), and excels at writing clean, scalable code for complex transformations and high-volume transactions. This is a remote position with collaboration across cross-functional teams in multiple time zones, and may include client site visits.

Job Responsibilities

• Integration Ownership: Design, implement, and maintain payroll integrations between Oracle (HCM Cloud/EBS) and internal/external systems (HRIS, benefits, finance, time & attendance, tax filing, banking).

• Code Development: Write high-quality, performant code (PL/SQL, SQL, Java/JavaScript or Python for middleware utilities) to support transformations, validations, file generation/ingestion, and API orchestration.
• Oracle Tooling: Build/maintain interfaces using HCM Extracts, HDL (HCM Data Loader), Fast Formulas (Payroll/Comp/Absence), BI Publisher, and OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud) or equivalent middleware (MuleSoft, Boomi, etc.).

• Performance & Scaling: Tune queries and jobs for high-volume payroll cycles, optimize partitioning/indexing strategies, batch windows, and error-handling/retry logic.
• Quality & Compliance: Establish automated testing (unit/integration), reconcile outputs against payroll results and general ledger postings; enforce SOX/ISO controls, segregation of duties, and PII protection.
• Observability: Instrument integrations with logging, metrics, and alerts (e.g., Splunk, ELK, OCI Monitoring); create dashboards for SLA tracking and payroll cut-off readiness.
• Documentation & Standards: Author technical specs, sequence diagrams, data dictionaries/mappings, and runbooks; promote coding standards and CI/CD best practices.
• Mentorship & Collaboration: Partner with Payroll Ops, HRIS, Finance, and Security; mentor junior developers and participate in code reviews and design sessions.
