The Senior Software Engineer supports delivery by building and enhancing enterprise application components, integrations, and data structures using an AI‑first engineering approach—where automation and AI‑enabled workflows are treated as default solution patterns when appropriate. This role sits within IT, aligned to HCM Portfolio Leadership, and supports forward‑deployed engineering (FDE) delivery teams, contributing to both initial builds and ongoing sustainment under the guidance of senior engineers.

What You Will Do:

•  Build and enhance full stack application components across front‑end, back‑end, and integration layers, under the guidance of senior engineers supporting enterprise solution delivery, including initial releases and iterative enhancements.

• Contribute to solutions using an AI‑first mindset, incorporating AI‑enabled workflows and automation where appropriate and supportable within IT standards.
• Develop and support API‑based integrations and batch/mass data processing workflows under established architectural patterns.
• Assist with data modeling, database design, and data structuring to support scalable and maintainable solutions.
• Collaborate with senior engineers, business stakeholders, and IT delivery partners in a cross‑functional, FDE model to move solutions from concept to production.
• Support testing, deployment, and post‑release sustainment activities, including defect resolution and minor enhancements.
• Follow enterprise standards and controls (e.g., security, access, change/release, testing), including additional controls for systems subject to ITGC/SOX where applicable.
• Learn and apply enterprise platforms and emerging AI‑enabled capabilities aligned to the broader application ecosystem.

What You Will Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 4 + years of experience in software engineering or application development roles.
• Hands‑on experience developing or contributing to full stack applications, including back‑end services (e.g., Python) and modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React.js, Next.js, TypeScript).
• Experience building or consuming APIs and supporting system integrations.
• Foundational understanding of databases and data structures.
• Experience using source control tools such as GitHub.
• Exposure to SDLC practices, including development, testing, deployment, and sustainment.
• Interest in learning and applying AI‑enabled workflows and automation in real‑world enterprise solutions.
• Ability to work within cross‑functional delivery teams and take direction from senior engineering leads.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and willingness to learn the HR business domain supported by the applications.

What Would Be Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with HR or workforce platforms such as Workday or related staffing, finance, or resource management systems.
• Exposure to cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure.
• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines).
• Experience working in iterative, pod‑based delivery models with reusable patterns and enterprise controls.
• Demonstrated curiosity, coachability, and desire to grow technical depth over time.
