• Develop and maintain backend services and APIs (REST/GraphQL where applicable) to support HR use cases and data needs.
• Implement reusable components, shared utilities, and frontend patterns to drive consistency and speed across GHR experiences.
• Partner with integration teams to implement and consume Workday APIs and related middleware patterns (e.g., Workday REST/SOAP, Workday Studio/Extend, integration platform endpoints where relevant).

AWS Cloud Development & Deployment

• Design and deploy applications on AWS using cloud-native patterns and services (e.g., compute, storage, API management, logging/monitoring).
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and environment promotion strategies aligned to enterprise standards.
• Build for performance, scalability, and resiliency, including observability and operational readiness.

Employee Experience Delivery

• Collaborate with UX and HR stakeholders to translate employee needs into intuitive, accessible, mobile-friendly web experiences.
• Ensure solutions support global users, including considerations for localization, content presentation, and varying regional requirements.
• Participate in user story refinement, estimation, sprint execution, and release readiness activities.

Quality, Security & Operational Excellence

• Write high-quality, maintainable code with strong unit/integration testing practices.
• Apply secure coding practices and ensure solutions meet enterprise requirements for IAM, MFA, data protection, auditability, and logging.
• Support production readiness, incident triage, defect remediation, and continuous improvement of deployed services.

Collaboration & Engineering Culture

• Work effectively in a matrixed environment alongside architects, product owners, program managers, and vendors.
• Contribute to engineering standards, code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing across the team.
• Mentor junior engineers and help raise the technical bar across the portfolio.

Experience & Competencies

• 5-10+ years of hands-on full stack development experience in a large enterprise environment.
• Strong expertise with React and modern frontend engineering practices (TypeScript, component architecture, state management, testing).
• Demonstrated experience building and consuming APIs, including integration patterns supporting enterprise platforms.
• Experience deploying applications to AWS, including familiarity with cloud-native architectures and CI/CD practices.
• Practical experience with Workday integrations/APIs (direct Workday API usage or via integration platforms/middleware) strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile delivery, and working in a product/delivery team model.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in regulated environments with security and compliance expectations is a plus.

Preferred / Nice to Have

• Familiarity with employee experience platforms, intranets, or HR service delivery tools.
• Exposure to enterprise identity/access patterns (SSO, OAuth/OIDC, SAML) and role-based access controls.
• Experience with observability tooling (centralized logging, tracing, monitoring) and production support models.
• Prior experience supporting global rollouts and regional requirements.
