Sora, an ADP company, is hiring a Lead Full-Stack Software Engineer.

• Do you enjoy working on collaborative and agile teams designing technical solutions to new problems?
• 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 belonging? 

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

This role is remote anywhere in the United States.

Sora, an HR Workflow automation product, is empowering people-focused teams to create exceptional employee experiences. These teams should be spending time with people, but unfortunately all facets of People teams are bogged down by managing processes instead of helping people. That’s where Sora comes in: we’re building a product that streamlines the tedious and repetitive work People teams do every day, from sending emails to assigning onboarding tasks to a new hire’s manager to syncing data across anywhere from 3 to 20 tools in a customer’s HR stack.

As a Lead Full-Stack Software Engineer, you will work on the small but mighty Sora engineering team to build a startup within ADP! You will work with clients, product managers, and our customer success and sales teams to plan, design, develop, test, and implement impactful solutions that support companies with one to thousands of employees.

We’re still operating as a startup so no two days look the same! You will spend most of your day developing and testing your code and collaborating with your teammates on technical challenges.

To thrive in this role, you’ll need 5 years of experience in modern web development and cloud technologies, and some experience in DevOps (CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, production support). You’ll be responsible for developing and shipping features and updates to Sora that bring joy to our clients, keep our product working smoothly for end users, and ensure we're a secure source of employee data for customers.

You’ll build infrastructure in our backend and optimize database queries, add integrations to our 3rd party integrations service (which already has over 1,000 3rd party CRUD methods!), build frontend functionality, and contribute to the foundation of our engineering team. You’ll help us keep our code up-to-date with best practices, and be a champion for shipping well-tested and well-organized code.

As a Lead Engineer, you will work closely with your team to lead and guide projects to success. You'll also serve as a mentor to the junior developers. 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 Sora, ADP, and the industry.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Here's what you can expect on a typical day:

• Agile. No two days are the same! You’ll design, develop, and test code. You’re perform code reviews for your teammates. Some days you’ll participate in stand-ups and every week you’ll have sprint planning meetings. You’ll also get to interact with our customer success and sales teams to hear directly from clients and prospects.
• Build teams that thrive. As an experienced leader, you want everyone to shine. You'll have a habit of checking in with your team to identify priorities and challenges.

• Build Products. You will use your technical expertise to review your team's work and help your people excel in an Agile environment. You're proactive and hands-on.
