Application Developer

Application Developer

ADP Technology Services, Inc. is hiring Application Developers in our Florham Park, New Jersey location.

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? Well, this may be the role for you! Ready to design what's next?

To thrive in this career, you'll need to be enthusiastic, eager to learn, and take on stretch assignments. You strive to learn new technologies and find ways to incorporate what you learn into building your results. You'll be curious, persistent, and at times persuasive.

As part of our team, you'll find exciting challenges, get opportunities to grow your career, and develop solid friendships as we design what's next for ADP and the industry. Pace should not scare you. We still find time for a healthy dose of fun.

What you'll do:

• Build teams that thrive. As an experienced leader, you want everyone to shine. You are constantly looking for ways to share your knowledge, motivate others, and keep everyone engaged and productive.
• Learning. You're always learning new technologies and processes with tools and other training courses, conferences ADP offers, and operating with a "learn as you go" approach with a willingness to figure out new ways of doing things.
• Create results. 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.
• Continuous learning. You will actively collaborate with other associates to share ideas or show what you've learned. You are eager to learn, keep up with ever-changing technologies, and maintain the ability to create the best tools for our clients.
• 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.
• Challenges. Inevitable challenges will arise, and we'll rely on you to look for a solution.
• Responsibilities. Responsible for designing, building and maintaining quality software solutions that meet business and technical requirements including analyzing user stories, developing application code, integrating with existing systems and services. Work with clients, product managers, analysts, architects, and engineers to plan, design, develop, test, and implement information technology solutions. Review and create system, software, and functional design specifications and documentation. Diagnose, troubleshoot and resolve software defects while optimizing code performance to ensure application stability and reliability. Collaborate with Quality Assurance (QA) teams by writing and executing tests, validating fixes, and supporting quality assurance processes to ensure reliable and high-performing software. Coordinate with multiple stakeholders on the release activities. Peer review code developed by other team members. Organize and facilitate agile scrum software development ceremonies including daily status updates (stand-ups), planning, review backlog work items, provide estimates for work, and demos to stakeholders. Investigate and resolve client issues submitted in support ticket requests. Perform Java Spring framework library and dependency upgrades across multiple applications. Mitigate API security vulnerabilities and enhance security of REST APIs to reduce risk of security threats and incidents.

To succeed in this role:

• Education and qualifications/skills and competencies. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or related field of study plus five (5) years of related experience required. The company will also accept a Master's degree and two (2) years of related experience.
• Work experience. Two (2) years of experience must include: Java/JEE Programming; Spring Frameworks (Core, MVC, Data) and Spring Boot; JavaScript and JavaScript frameworks: React or Angular; Node.js backend development (Express.js); RESTful API design and implementation (including secure API practices: OAuth2 / JWT); Microservice application architecture; Relational databases and database programming (Oracle / PL/SQL) plus ORM (JPA / Hibernate) or Spring Data Repositories; Web application development (HTML5, CSS3, responsive UI); Agile software management (JIRA); Automated testing (JUnit, Mockito, Jest, Cypress); Continuous Integration (Jenkins or comparable CI systems); Secure coding practices (input validation, OWASP Top 10 awareness); Git, GitHub, Bitbucket; Build and dependency management tools (Maven for Java, NPM for JavaScript); Maintaining WCAG 2.1 AA standards and resolving issues using Deque axe DevTools, applying semantic HTML, proper ARIA roles, keyboard navigation support, color contrast improvements, and screen reader testing.

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 an epic scale. We deliver real user outcomes using strong judgment and good instincts. We're obsessed with the art of achieving 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. We encourage our associates to listen, stay agile, and learn from mistakes.
• Act like an owner & doer. Mission-driven and committed to leading change, you will be encouraged to take on 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 give back 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.
