ADP is hiring a Lead Database Developer!
• 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 with multiple scrum teams alongside other SQL Server experts to help them bring the ideas to life for new or improved web applications. This work will support a mix of internal and external clients, and you will be working on projects currently in production.
To thrive in this career, you'll need to be an expert in TSQL / SQL Server on highly transactional enterprise systems. Your role will be key to reviewing and reducing database contention risks and implementing strategies for managing and enabling performance and scalability across the application.
Like our best developers, you are an enthusiastic creator eager to learn and take on stretch assignments. You strive to learn emerging technologies and find ways to incorporate what you learn into building your products. As part of our team, you will 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:
Here's what you can expect on a typical day:
● Agile. You'll start each day with a scrum, working in a team to understand responsibilities, identify issues, and communicate coding priorities while choosing user stories to complete. You will also participate in other agile ceremonies, including scheduled sprint demos, where you will present your work to up to 90 stakeholders.
● Development. Working in two week sprints you will review and optimize data access across the application, analyze and identify performance and scalability concerns and implement solutions to enhance the resilience of an enterprise grade OLTP system.
● Continuous Learning. You will attend "lunch and learn" sessions to actively collaborate with other developers to share ideas or show what you've learned. An eagerness to learn will help you keep up with ever-changing technologies and maintain the ability to create the best tools for our clients.
● Support. You're working on products currently in use. You will act as a point of contact for one day/week, supporting your clients for any urgent issues that require resolution. You'll start those days with your regular work activity but will have to switch gears to a support role as needed throughout your assigned support day.
● Experience. You have 10+ years of experience using back and end Database technologies with solid TSQL experience including writing stored procedures, functions and views.
TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE:
● You'll have a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent.
● You’ll be an expert in TSQL / SQL Server and have a firm grasp on OLTP Systems with experience of reporting BI and OLAP.
● You’ll be comfortable working with software development teams ensuring adherence to SQL best practice and helping them to optimize existing and new data access.
● You’ll have expert knowledge of distributed transactions, transaction structure, isolation levels, nested transactions, latching and locking.
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 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.
