ADP is hiring a Principal Architect.
Etobicoke, ON - Hybrid
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?
In this role, you will work alongside ADP product owners to understand their challenges in creating, upgrading, or augmenting our products. Then, you'll design technical solutions and guide a team of developers as they implement your design.
Every day, you will promote architectural initiatives that drive revenue and improve efficiency aligned with business strategy. Each day, you will start with a scrum and identify priorities within the current sprint or discuss a new project. Then you'll create designs to guide the developers while they code what you design. If something is particularly critical, you may have to roll up your sleeves and code. As the team lead, you'll communicate and collaborate with your team and cross-functionally, acting as the technical reference.
To thrive in this role, you have ten-plus years of experience in architecture, design, and building large-scale distributed services-oriented systems will be essential to your success. You'll need versatile knowledge of coding languages, including front-end, scripting, and back-ends like Java, Javascript, .net, Angular, JS frameworks, or others. Our best developers are creative problem solvers who love a challenge. If you get stuck, you find a workaround and keep going. You never give up. This role requires you to have clear, compelling, and influential communication skills to succeed. You will constantly mentor developers and collaborate with peer architects on other teams. You must be adept at teaching, leading, and influencing. As part of our team, you will influence product success and help shape our industry.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
Blueprints and Strategy. You will influence and govern current and future architectural blueprints and promote architectural initiatives that generate revenue, improve efficiency, and support our business strategy. You will ensure that what we do solves both enterprise and local needs.
Scrums. You'll start every day with a scrum, working together to understand responsibilities, identify issues, and communicate design and coding priorities.
Coding. Your chief role is to design, but coding is sometimes required. Once you create your design, you will guide developers to bring it to life using tools like Java, Angular, .net, or others. You will review their code, refine it if necessary, and jump in and code critical areas yourself.
Challenges. Inevitable challenges will arise, and we'll rely on you to look for a solution. You love a challenge and revel in the opportunity of finding one.
Learning and Teaching. You're the technical expert on the team, so when issues arise, you'll be the one developing a fix. When you present a design, you are open to feedback from your engineer team since you believe collaboration helps strengthen your ideas, especially if someone thought of something you hadn't considered.
Variety of work. There is no typical day. Some days you will dedicate to design or mentoring team members, while others you will spend on projects for quality assurance, security, UX, or any number of other functions.
Experience. You have 12+ years of experience in relevant skills gained and developed in the same or similar role.
TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE:
You'll have a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent.
10+ years experience in software development/engineering and 5 years minimum as an architect.
