  • Are you empathetic to client needs and inspired by transformation and impacting the lives of millions of people every day?
  • Are you an inspiring leader who people have followed and worked for over and over again?
  • 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 in an Agile development environment to bring the designs and ideas to life for new or improved products and web applications. This work will support a mix of internal and external clients. You will be working on current and upcoming projects that connect design, engineering, product development, and implementation to understand how those pieces impact infrastructure. You'll share your operational and process maturity with a growing team while building products for large enterprises to enable their workforce.

No two days are the same as you work with your team, business leaders, and project management to understand our next wave of work. To thrive in this role, you'll need to have a solid understanding of technologies, including APIs, distributed systems design, operational scaling and availability, and application integrations. Deep knowledge of .NET framework versions 4.8 as well as.NET 10 and SQL Server will be critical for success in this role. You have experience working full stack with front-end, scripting, and back-end experience. This role will be leading teams focusing on core payroll and statutory compliance on top of feature development, so experience of these domains is very much preferred. Our best developers are enthusiastic creators who stay current on new technologies. You strive to learn new technologies and find ways to incorporate what you learn into building your products.

You're a passionate leader focused on engagement as well as results, and you're not afraid to roll your sleeves up and dive into the code when necessary. 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 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 must know Agile well.

Your seven or more years of team leadership have delivered amazing results, and you pride yourself on developing the people who work for you, as well as providing an inclusive team environment where they all can thrive.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
