GHR Full Stack Developer (React) – AVP

Corporate Functions Technology
Reports to: Managing Director, Corporate Functions Technology

Role Overview

The GHR Full Stack Developer (AVP) will design, build, and support modern employee‑facing experiences and services across the Global Human Resources (GHR) technology ecosystem. This role is hands‑on and delivery‑oriented, with a strong emphasis on building React‑based web applications, developing and consuming APIs (including Workday integrations), and deploying cloud‑native solutions on AWS that meet enterprise standards for security, resiliency, and performance.

The ideal candidate is a strong engineer who can work closely with product owners, UX, architects, and integration teams to deliver high‑quality solutions that improve employee experience globally.

Key Responsibilities

Full Stack Engineering (React + APIs)

• Build and enhance React/TypeScript applications for HR employee journeys, self‑service experiences, and internal tools.
• Develop and maintain backend services and APIs (REST/GraphQL where applicable) to support HR use cases and data needs.
• Implement reusable components, shared utilities, and frontend patterns to drive consistency and speed across GHR experiences.
• Partner with integration teams to implement and consume Workday APIs and related middleware patterns (e.g., Workday REST/SOAP, Workday Studio/Extend, integration platform endpoints where relevant).

AWS Cloud Development & Deployment

• Design and deploy applications on AWS using cloud‑native patterns and services (e.g., compute, storage, API management, logging/monitoring).
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and environment promotion strategies aligned to enterprise standards.
• Build for performance, scalability, and resiliency, including observability and operational readiness.

Employee Experience Delivery

• Collaborate with UX and HR stakeholders to translate employee needs into intuitive, accessible, mobile‑friendly web experiences.
• Ensure solutions support global users, including considerations for localization, content presentation, and varying regional requirements.
• Participate in user story refinement, estimation, sprint execution, and release readiness activities.

Quality, Security & Operational Excellence

• Write high‑quality, maintainable code with strong unit/integration testing practices.
• Apply secure coding practices and ensure solutions meet enterprise requirements for IAM, MFA, data protection, auditability, and logging.
• Support production readiness, incident triage, defect remediation, and continuous improvement of deployed services.

Collaboration & Engineering Culture

• Work effectively in a matrixed environment alongside architects, product owners, program managers, and vendors.
• Contribute to engineering standards, code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing across the team.
• Mentor junior engineers and help raise the technical bar across the portfolio.

Experience & Competencies

• 5–10+ years of hands‑on full stack development experience in a large enterprise environment.
• Strong expertise with React and modern frontend engineering practices (TypeScript, component architecture, state management, testing).
• Demonstrated experience building and consuming APIs, including integration patterns supporting enterprise platforms.
• Experience deploying applications to AWS, including familiarity with cloud‑native architectures and CI/CD practices.
• Practical experience with Workday integrations/APIs (direct Workday API usage or via integration platforms/middleware) strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile delivery, and working in a product/delivery team model.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in regulated environments with security and compliance expectations is a plus.

Preferred / Nice to Have

• Familiarity with employee experience platforms, intranets, or HR service delivery tools.
• Exposure to enterprise identity/access patterns (SSO, OAuth/OIDC, SAML) and role‑based access controls.
• Experience with observability tooling (centralized logging, tracing, monitoring) and production support models.
• Prior experience supporting global rollouts and regional requirements.
